Frequently Asked Questions
Is this research effort open to persons over the age of forty?
"This trial has specifically outlined that only individuals aged 21 to 65 can be enrolled. By contrast, there are 138 clinical studies for people younger than 18 and 262 trials targeting senior citizens over the age of 65 years old."
What further investigations have been conducted concerning Group 1-Phentolamine Intra-hepatic islet?
"In total, there are 143 active clinical trials investigating Group 1-Phentolamine Intra-hepatic islet. Of those studies, 30 have already progressed to Phase 3. Most of these investigations are being conducted in Calgary, Alberta; however, the research has also spread out to 465 other medical centres around the world."
Are there any opportunities for participants in this clinical research?
"According to the clinicaltrials.gov database, this experiment is no longer looking for participants; it was originally posted in January 2017 and last updated on March 3rd 2022. Even though this study has concluded its recruitment period, there are 447 other trials open to patient enrollment at present."
How many participants can potentially be enrolled in this experiment?
"Sadly, this trial is no longer recruiting. The first post was made on the 20th of January 2017 and the last update occured on 3rd of March 2022. For patients searching for alternatives, there are presently 304 trials involving hypoglycemia and 143 studies concerning Group 1-Phentolamine Intra-hepatic that are actively enrolling participants."
Is there an opportunity for me to join this experiment?
"Candidates must possess hypoglycemia and fall between the age range of 21 to 65 in order to be eligible for this study. A total of 11 participants are needed."
What is the customary purpose associated with Group 1-Phentolamine Intra-hepatic islet?
"Group 1-Phentolamine Intra-hepatic islet can assist in managing increased intra ocular pressure (iop), but it also has medical applications such as treating nasal irritation, angina pectoris, and helping the kidneys excrete toxic substances."
