Pro-rEsolving and pRo-inflammatory reSPonses to Acute exhaustIve exeRcisE in Healthy Individuals (PERSPIRE)

February 26, 2025 updated by: NYU Langone Health

A Pilot Study of Pro-rEsolving and pRo-inflammatory reSPonses to Acute exhaustIve exeRcisE in Healthy Individuals

This is a study of the effects of acute, exhaustive exercise on pro-resolving and pro-inflammatory responses in healthy, trained and untrained adults.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study requires one visit (a second, optional visit may occur). At the visit, participants will have blood drawn at several time points and also perform an exhaustive bout of treadmill exercise. Differences in specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators (SPMs) and other measures of inflammation and resolution over time will be characterized.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Healthy Adults
Participants engage in a maximal exercise test. Before and after this test, blood samples are collected. At a separate, optional control visit, blood samples are collected as during the exercise visit, but participants do not participate in an exercise protocol.
Behavioral: Graded-Intensity Treadmill Exercise Protocol
The exercise protocol will be administered by the principal investigator or other trained study staff under the supervision of the PI in the stress testing laboratory of NYU Langone Health - Tisch Hospital. The exercise protocol duration will vary by participant, but is likely to be between 8 and 25 minutes in duration.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Circulating Level of SPMs
Time Frame: Pre-Exercise, 4.5 Hours Post-Exercise (Day 1)

Circulating level (%) of serum, plasma and neutrophil (SPMs) will be measured using patient blood draws.

Circulating level of SPMs is calculated as a composite endpoint.
Pre-Exercise, 4.5 Hours Post-Exercise (Day 1)
