Air Pollution: Strategies for Personalized Intervention to Reduce Exposure
NCT03744871 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Fine particulate matter \< 2.5 microns (PM2.5) air pollution is a leading global risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. PM2.5 presents a serious ongoing public health threat to patients living in highly-polluted countries (ex: China, India) where air quality is projected to remain extremely poor (far exceeding World Health Organization Air Quality Guidelines) for the foreseeable future. This study reviews the benefits of personal level intervention (wearing N95 respirator) over long term, to prevent clinical events among patients with cardiovascular disease.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03744871
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03744871 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, 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 30 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, which has 190 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 Air Pollution appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which N95 Respirator 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: NCT03744871 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Ohio, Other. 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.
