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 75 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Older adult

Study population: This study will focus on polypathological patients aged over 75 hospitalised in a geriatric ward.

Who may be able to join

  • For all patients:
  • Patients aged over 75 hospitalised in one of the geriatric units defined as the research sites;
  • Patient affiliated to a social security scheme;
  • Patients or relatives who have been informed and have no objections to the research.
  • To be eligible in the acute situation sub-population:
  • Patients presenting with an acute episode on admission or following a stay in the research sites; The acute episode is defined, for example, by an infection, cardiac decompensation, a complicated fall, acute renal failure, any acute or decompensated cardiovascular pathology, any discovery of cancer that has not been stabilised.
  • To be eligible in the stable situation sub-population:
  • A patient who has not had an acute episode for at least 7 days.

Who cannot join

  • For all patients:
  • Patients under legal protection: curatorship, guardianship, safeguard of justice ;
  • Patients under exclusive comfort care for whom it has been decided not to take a blood sample;
  • Patients undergoing long-term antibiotic treatment, i.e. with no defined stopping date;
  • An immunocompromised patient or a patient undergoing immunosuppressive treatment (for example: HIV infection, a patient awaiting solid organ transplantation, a patient undergoing haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, a patient undergoing chemotherapy for a solid tumour or haematological malignancy, a patient suffering from an auto-immune disease and being treated with immunotherapy and/or immunosuppressive therapy and/or biotherapy, an asplenic or hyposplenic patient, a patient undergoing experimental potentially immunosuppressive treatment, a patient undergoing Eculizumab treatment, a patient presenting a hereditary immune deficiency).
  • For patients in an acute clinical situation:
  • Patient previously included in the same sub-population.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Monocyte Expression of HLA-DR (mHLA-DR) in the Multi-pathological Elderly Subject in Geriatric Service

The acceleration of population aging and the improved management of comorbidities lead to an increase in the number of multi-pathological elderly patients admitted to geriatric services. This is an extremely specific population in terms of immunology due to the presence of immunosenescence (physiological aging of the immune system) and the potential additional effect of multiple chronic pathologies (comorbidities) presented by these patients.

The specific effect of multiple chronic pathologies on the immune status of elderly patients is currently underexplored because most studies on immune system aging only include elderly patients who do not have comorbidities or treatments that could impact the immune system (e.g. SENIEUR protocol). Therefore, their results are not applicable to patients in geriatric services.

The decrease in monocyte expression of HLA-DR (mHLA-DR) has been studied as a marker of immune alteration in intensive care units in the context of sepsis, but also in chronic pathologies (e.g. cancer, diabetes, renal insufficiency). These chronic pathologies are frequently found in elderly subjects.

The objective of the study would therefore be to investigate the relative contribution of age (immunosenescence) and comorbidities to the alteration of the immune status of geriatric patients through the measurement of mHLA-DR.

To date, no study has explored mHLA-DR in a population of multi-pathological geriatric patients. Our work aims to generate initial data through a pilot study in hospitalized multi-pathological subjects over 75 years old in geriatric services.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immune System, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 2 sites in France.

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 8 inclusion and 7 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 26 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

mHLA DR expression (time frame: up to 72 Hour). 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 26 Jan 2026.
