About this study

Official title: Impact of Endogenous Sexual Hormones (Oestrogens and Testosterone) on the Endothelium Circulatory on Rolling at the Young and Old Healthy Volunteer.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the number of circulating EPC is different between healthy women and men.

Read the detailed description

Study design: Open pilot study in health volunteers in the Hospital Saint-ANTOINE's Clinical Investigation Centre (CIC).

Recruitment and course of the study: The subjects will be recruited among the CIC's pool of healthy volunteers. Volunteer people will then have biological and clinical baseline examinations. If they match the inclusion criteria, an appointment will be taken for the blood sample intend for the characterization of the EPC and hormonal plasma levels evaluation. The participation will not exceed 2 months. Young women will have to come between the 9th and the 11th day after the beginning of menses). A total of 150 ml of peripheral blood will be collected. The study will last 18 months.

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?

Number of endothelial progenitor cells by cytometry (time frame: Baseline). 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.
