Trial summary

An inflammatory state of the nasal cells (very close to keratinocytes) could favour the internalization of Staphylococcus aureus and thus constitute a persistent reservoir for the carriage of this bacterium. Read more about this study

About this study

An inflammatory state of the nasal cells (very close to keratinocytes) could favour the internalization of Staphylococcus aureus and thus constitute a persistent reservoir for the carriage of this bacterium.

Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal bacterium of the skin and mucous membranes that colonizes approximately 2 billion people worldwide Staphylococcus aureus is also a leading cause of community and healthcare-associated infection. Staphylococcus aureus has demonstrated its ability to invade many non-professional phagocytic cell lines such as keratinocytes, osteoblasts, fibroblasts, epithelial cells and endothelial cells. During pro-inflammatory stimulation, internalization of Staphylococcus aureus into keratinocytes is mainly mediated by ICAM-1. These results suggest that, in humans, an inflammatory state of the nasal cells (very close to keratinocytes) could promote the internalization of Staphylococcus aureus and thus constitute a persistent reservoir for the carriage of this bacterium.

Read the detailed description

The main objective is to compare the expression level of ICAM-1 in nasal cells with and without the presence of Staphylococcus aureus.

What participants receive

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

  • nasal swabDiagnostic test

    nasal swab will be performed to analysis biological markers at every visit.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Healthy volunteersExperimentalHealthy volunteers will be included. They will have nasal swab at the inclusion visit to detect contamination of S. Aureus. * If contamination of S. Aureus: they will have 12 follow-up visits (1 per month) * If no contamination of S. Aureus: their participation stops

What is being measured

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

  1. level of ICAM-1 expression in nasal cells

    Compare the level of ICAM-1 expression in nasal cells with and without the presence of intracellular Staphylococcus aureus

    Measured: Months: 0

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Measurement of the expression of the genes (mRNA dosage) involved in IL-1 beta secretion

    Measure by rt-qPCR technique.

    Measured: Months: 0

  2. Measurement of the expression of the genes (mRNA dosage) involved in activation of autophagy

    Measure by rt-qPCR technique.

    Measured: Months: 0

  3. cytokine concentration

    Measure by analysis of nasal swab.

    Measured: Months: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

  4. concentration of ICAM-1 in S. Aureus

    Measure by analysis of nasal swab.

    Measured: Months: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nasal swab in people with Healthy, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 23 May 2024. 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 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?

level of ICAM-1 expression in nasal cells (time frame: Months: 0). 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 23 May 2024.
