Rapid Acclimatization to Hypoxia at Altitude
NCT01702025 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
In low oxygen environments, such as altitude, some adults may become ill and suffer from acute mountain sickness. Further, all adults will find that exercising becomes much more difficult when compared with exercise at lower altitudes (e.g. sea-level). The purpose of this investigation is to study the effects of two drugs that may help people adjust to high-altitude quickly, prevent them from becoming ill and improve their exercise performance. The drugs are Methazolamide and Aminophylline.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01702025
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01702025 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 41 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Colorado State University, which has 92 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Physiological Function in Low Oxygen Environment appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Placebo is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01702025 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Colorado. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
