Trial summary

While the acute consequences of an ultratrail are beginning to be well documented, data on the study of recovery in the aftermath of an event are much rarer. In order to overcome these various limitations, the main study of the ERUPTION-3 project is set up on the Grand Raid de La Réunion 2022 races. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: For the main study, the recruitement of 1300 participants within the 6500 runners of the Grand Raid is planned. Call for volonteers will be made via the association organising the race. For the ancillary study, among these 1300 participants, 90 will be choosen (30 of each race, Diagonale des Fous, Trail de Bourbon and Mascareignes) to participate to this optional study.

Who may be able to join

  • >18 years
  • Participating in the Grand Raid de la Réunion race (Mascareignes, Trail de Bourbon or Diagonale des fous)
  • Affiliated or beneficiary of a social security scheme
  • Not opposed to the research for the main study
  • Having given their written consent for the participants of the ancillary study

Who cannot join

  • Not understanding French
  • Protected adult (guardianship or curatorship) or under court protection
  • Who have difficulty swallowing paracetamol capsules and for whom it will therefore be difficult to swallow the e-Celsius® Performance capsules (for the ancillary study)

Official title: Etude de la récupération et Des Modifications de la rhéologie Sanguine Chez Les Coureurs d'Ultraendurance ERUPTION-3 / Study of Recovery and Blood Rheology Changes in Ultra-endurance Runners ERUPTION-3

While the acute consequences of an ultratrail are beginning to be well documented, data on the study of recovery in the aftermath of an event are much rarer.

In the context of exercise responses, the rheological properties of blood can impact the endurance performance. In contrast to short-distance events, the study of blood rheology and red blood cells integrity in long-distance events such as ultra-endurance races is poorly documented in the literature.

In the ancillary study, the work that is intended to be carried y out will complement the initial results found by a previous research on 23 runners during the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc. This ancillary study will also be an opportunity to complete the data from the main study by studying the kinetics of biomarker recovery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Recovery and its kinetics in the aftermath of an ultratrail run in a tropical environment.

    Evaluate by means of subjective evaluations in the aftermath of an ultratrail run in a tropical environment:

    • Hooper Index (4 questions: sleep, stress, tiredness and muscular pain) each ranging from 1 to 7 with 1 being very good ranking and 7 worse ranking

    Measured: 3 Months

  2. Recovery and its kinetics in the musculo-articular evaluations in the aftermath of an ultratrail run in a tropical environment.

    Evaluate by means of subjective evaluations in the aftermath of an ultratrail run in a tropical environment:

    • musculo-articular recovery (descriptive assessment no score)

    Measured: 3 Months

  3. Recovery and its kinetics of sleep in the aftermath of an ultratrail run in a tropical environment.

    Evaluate by means of subjective evaluations in the aftermath of an ultratrail run in a tropical environment:

    • sleep questionnaire (descriptive assessment no score)

    Measured: 3 Months

  4. Recovery and its kinetics of tiredness in the aftermath of an ultratrail run in a tropical environment.

    Evaluate by means of subjective evaluations in the aftermath of an ultratrail run in a tropical environment:

    • tiredness questionnaire (descriptive assessment no score)

    Measured: 3 Months

  5. Recovery and its kinetics of injury in the aftermath of an ultratrail run in a tropical environment.

    Evaluate by means of subjective evaluations in the aftermath of an ultratrail run in a tropical environment:

    • injury questionnaire (descriptive assessment no score)

    Measured: 6 Months

  6. To evaluate recovery and its kinetics in its different dimensions in ultra-endurance runners

    Evaluate by means of objective evaluations in the aftermath of an ultratrail run in a tropical environment:

    1200m and 400m test (best race time)

    Measured: 1 Month

  7. Ancillary Study: Change in Hematological Recovery biomarkers

    Evaluate the changes in recovery kinetics of biological markers (hematological:haemoglobin in g/dL ) directly after the race in comparison with measurements taken before the race

    Measured: Day 2, Day 5, Day 9 and Day 16

  8. Ancillary Study: Change in Muscular Recovery biomarkers

    Evaluate the changes in recovery kinetics of biological markers (muscular: Creatin PhosphoKinase in UI/L), directly after the race in comparison with measurements taken before the race

    Measured: Day 2, Day 5, Day 9 and Day 16

  9. Ancillary Study: Change in Inflammatory Recovery biomarkers

    Evaluate the changes in recovery kinetics of biological markers (inflammatory: Protein C-reactive in mg/L) directly after the race in comparison with measurements taken before the race

    Measured: Day 2, Day 5, Day 9 and Day 16

  10. Ancillary Study: Change in Hepatic Recovery biomarkers

    Evaluate the changes in recovery kinetics of biological markers (hepatic: ASAT \& ALAT in UI/L) directly after the race in comparison with measurements taken before the race

    Measured: Day 2, Day 5, Day 9 and Day 16

  11. Ancillary Study: Blood rheologic properties and the senescence of red blood cells

    Evaluate the rheologic biomarkers by measuring the blood viscosity directly after the race in comparison with measurements taken before the race

    Measured: Post-race (between day2 and day4 depending on the time of race arrival)

  12. Ancillary Study: Senescence of red blood cells

    Evaluate the Senescence of red blood cells directly after the race in comparison to before the race, by taking blood samples and analysing them using spectrophotometry and fluorescent-activated cells sorting

    Measured: Post-race (between day2 and day4 depending on the time of race arrival)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Physiology, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Réunion at 1 site in Reunion.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Reunion. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Recovery and its kinetics in the aftermath of an ultratrail run in a tropical environment. (time frame: 3 Months). The study lists 12 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Aug 2023.
