About this study

Official title: Pilot Study for the Detection of Stem/Progenitor Cell Up-regulation Using Aldagen BRIGHT Technology in Peripheral Blood After Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Treatment

This is an observational research study whose purposes are to see the effects of repeated hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments on the levels of stem/progenitor cells in peripheral circulating blood following five days of treatment, 90 minutes per day at 2.0 atmospheres absolute in 100% USP Grade Oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen has a greater oxygen concentration than air at sea level. In this research, the concentration of oxygen will be twice the level of oxygen at sea level.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Hyperbaric Oxygen TreatmentOther

    Also called 100% Oxygen USP

    Hyperabric oxygen will be delivered via a PerryPerry-Sigma Monoplace Hyperbaric Chambers. Oxygen is supplied by Air Gas, Seattle.

    All gases will meet Health Standards for oxygen and air. The hyperbaric chamber technicians employed by Restorix Health are trained health personnel who will be assisting our study participant and monitoring the HBO treatment. Oxygen will be delivered at a pressure of 2.0 ATA for 90 minutes, once a day for 5 consective days.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hyperbaric Oxygen TreatmentSix healthy adult individuals (18-65 yrs), with no current, ongoing infection or chronic disease will be recruited for this study. Treatment study subjects will undergo a daily exposure to 2.0 ATA, 100% Oxygen for 90 minutes over 5 days.
Receives: Other: Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment
BaselineTwo healthy study subjects with no current, ongoing infection or chronic disease will be rectuited to serve as a baseline group. Study subjects will not be exposed to HBO, but will have blood drawn at the same time as the treatment group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peripheral blood analysis of circulating stem cells

    Six treatment subjects and two control subjects will have two daily blood draws. Exposures of hyperabric oxygen (HBO) will occur daily over 5 consecutive days. The blood draws will occur prior to starting HBO exposure and after finishing with the HBO exposure. Control subjects will have their blood drawn at the same time as the treatment subjects, in ordert to establish a non-treatment baseline. The stem cell population that is resident in the peripheral blood will be analyzed using the cell sorting and cell identification system at Aldagen. Mononulcear cells will be gated on the basis of forward and side laser light scatter, and 250,000 events will be analyzed to determine the percentage of ALDHbr cells, and the expression of additional stem cell markers, such as CD45, CD34, and CD105.

    Measured: 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Changes in Peripheral Blood Population Numbers and Type., run by Restorix Research Institute, LLLP 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 2012. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Peripheral blood analysis of circulating stem cells (time frame: 5 days). 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 NCT01740908, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Dec 2012.
