  2. Study First Submitted
  • Stopped: an ongoing trial was terminated, suspended or withdrawn.
  • Notable: the trial’s plan changed such as a big move in its timeline or size, a new primary endpoint, sponsor or phase, or recruiting opened or resumed.
  • Minor: routine progress and housekeeping, such as sites added or enrollment closed.
The goal of the experimental study is to understand the impact of heat stress on core temperature and telomere length. Investigators will recruit rickshaw drivers who use manual power to push their rickshaws and randomly assign half of them to receive battery-powered rickshaws to use for four months. Investigators will assess how this change impacts their core body temperature while they work, the length of their telomeres (caps on the end of DNA that are associated with aging), and kidney function.
