About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Non-Randomized, Multi-Center Observational Study to Establish a Physical Baseline Profile for Individual Study Subjects Using Various Modalities and Identify Deviations Via Longitudinal Monitoring That May Develop Over Time
This is a minimal risk, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center population based observational study to establish a physical baseline profile for individual study subjects using various modalities (blood draws, non-invasive imaging, stool samples, saliva samples) and identify deviations through longitudinal monitoring that may develop over time and may be relevant to human health and healthy longevity.
Read the detailed description
The two key elements of the PUER Research protocol include (1) molecular and laboratory profiling and (2) non-invasive imaging and wearables/ "quantified self" measurements. All elements are optional. Molecular assessments will be conducted using peripheral blood samples, and potentially urine, stool or saliva samples. Non-invasive imaging assessment will consist of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT) scans, ultrasound, and x-ray. All imaging modalities are optional. Other functional assessments, including respiratory, cardiac and other functions, as well as self-quantifiable assessments via wearables, may also be conducted and are optional.
The study will result in longitudinal data collection to inform if any modalities employed here can inform of baseline deviations for individuals. Researchers at study sites will not be blinded to the data being collected during this study.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a minimal risk, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center population based observational study to establish a physical baseline profile for individual study subjects using various modalities (blood draws, non-invasive imaging, stool samples, saliva samples) and identify deviations through longitudinal monitoring that may develop over time and may be relevant to human health and healthy longevity.
Detailed description
The two key elements of the PUER Research protocol include (1) molecular and laboratory profiling and (2) non-invasive imaging and wearables/ "quantified self" measurements. All elements are optional. Molecular assessments will be conducted using peripheral blood samples, and potentially urine, stool or saliva samples. Non-invasive imaging assessment will consist of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT) scans, ultrasound, and x-ray. All imaging modalities are optional. Other functional assessments, including respiratory, cardiac and other functions, as well as self-quantifiable assessments via wearables, may also be conducted and are optional.
The study will result in longitudinal data collection to inform if any modalities employed here can inform of baseline deviations for individuals. Researchers at study sites will not be blinded to the data being collected during this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Aging, run by Puer Research, LLC at 1 site in United States.
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 3 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 22 Sep 2026. 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?
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?
Biomarkers that exhibit significant change (time frame: 12 Months). 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 NCT05687578, which also lists 28 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 22 Sep 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
