About this study

This is a single-center study at the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus designed to study biomarkers in healthy individuals to identify novel mechanisms of platelet activation and how platelets drive vascular inflammation and thrombosis in diseases.

Read the detailed description

Our past studies have discovered novel platelet activation pathways that may be targets of therapeutic development. We have also defined an important role for a shift in platelet phenotype in vascular disease. Our studies use both in vivo animal models and validation using human platelets from isolated blood. Platelets from healthy individuals may be compared to patients with vascular diseases in the IRB approved protocol "Vascular Lab Resource" (IRB #19-1451) study which is actively recruiting patients at the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus and studies patients with vascular diseases.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in United States.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2025. 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 United States. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Scott Cameron, MD, PhD (216-444-1680, cameros3@ccf.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To collect blood samples (time frame: 10 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05628974, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 16 Dec 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
