There are strong associations between air pollution exposure and heart disease but we do not yet understand how these harmful effects are mediated. Understanding this mechanism is likely to have a major impact on the way we treat patients with heart disease and have the potential to shape future environmental health policy. The upregulation of Endothelin-1 provides a plausible mechanism for these harmful effects, and we plan to investigate this in more depth in the human forearm following exposure to diesel exhaust.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'MALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '35 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Healthy male volunteers\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Use of regular medication\n* Cigarette smoking\n* Significant occupational exposure to air pollution\n* Intercurrent illness'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00745693', 'briefTitle': 'The Effects of Diesel Exhaust Inhalation on Vascular Function - the Role of Endothelin', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Edinburgh'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Effects of Diesel Exhaust Inhalation on Vascular Function - the Role of Endothelin', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'Res08/A116'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '1', 'description': '1 hour exposure to filtered air, followed by forearm venous occlusion plethysmography at 2 hours after the exposure and infusion of endothelin-1 (5pmol/min)', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Endothelin-1']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '2', 'description': '1 hour exposure to filtered air, followed by forearm venous occlusion plethysmography at 2 hours after the exposure and infusion of endothelin receptor antagonists BQ-123 and BQ-788', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: BQ-123 and BQ-788']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '3', 'description': '1 hour exposure to dilute diesel exhaust (300mcg/m3), followed by forearm venous occlusion plethysmography at 2 hours after the exposure and infusion of endothelin-1 (5pmol/min)', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Endothelin-1']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '4', 'description': '1 hour exposure to dilute diesel exhaust (300mcg/m3), followed by forearm venous occlusion plethysmography at 2 hours after the exposure and infusion of endothelin receptor antagonists BQ-123 and BQ-788', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: BQ-123 and BQ-788']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Endothelin-1', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['ET-1', 'American Peptides - 88-1-10 (ET-1)'], 'description': 'Intra-arterial infusion of Endothelin-1 at 5pmol/min for 1 hour during venous occlusion plethysmography', 'armGroupLabels': ['1', '3']}, {'name': 'BQ-123 and BQ-788', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['American Peptides - 88-2-10 (BQ-123)', 'American Peptides - 88-2-55 (BQ-788)'], 'description': '1 hour intra-arterial infusion of BQ-123 at 10nmol/min followed by co-infusion of BQ-788 at 1nmol/min for a further hour during forearm venous occlusion plethysmography', 'armGroupLabels': ['2', '4']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': 'SE-901 87', 'city': 'Umeå', 'state': 'Västerbottens', 'country': 'Sweden', 'facility': 'Umeå University', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 63.82842, 'lon': 20.25972}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Jeremy P Langrish, MB BCh MRCP', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'University of Edinburgh'}, {'name': 'Anders Blomberg, MD', 'role': 'STUDY_DIRECTOR', 'affiliation': 'Umeå University'}, {'name': 'Thomas Sandström, MD', 'role': 'STUDY_DIRECTOR', 'affiliation': 'Umeå University'}, {'name': 'David E Newby, MD FRCP', 'role': 'STUDY_DIRECTOR', 'affiliation': 'University of Edinburgh'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University of Edinburgh', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Umeå University', 'class': 'OTHER'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
