Clinical Trial Summary

Cortisol is an essential for life hormone secreted in a pulsatile pattern on a diurnal rhythm. Given the complexity of cortisol secretion on a circadian rhythm with pulsations, current methods of cortisol measurement have limitations.

Therefore, a non-invasive and ambulatory method would be useful to measure cortisol levels in real-time.

The main aim of the study is to compare cortisol levels across biological fluids (sweat, saliva, interstitial fluid, and blood) in order to validate in the long term a continuous and non-invasive cortisol measurement device (currently under development).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Cortisol levels in 4 biologicals fluids	Comparison of cortisol levels in these 4 biological fluids	24 hours
Secondary	Aldosterone levels in 4 biological fluids	Comparison of aldosterone levels in these 4 biological fluids	24 hours
Secondary	Glucocorticoid - comparison of repeated measures of glucocorticoid concentrations (cortisol, 18OHF, cortisone) profiles - over a period of 24 hours	Study of the diurnal rhythm and pulsatility in healthy participants (and later patients); Diurnal rhythm: cosinor analysis. Comparison of nadir/acme of cortisol concentrations (and 18OHF, cortisone) among participants. Amplitude of the curve; Pulsatility analysis: frequency of the pulses and amplitude	24 hours
Secondary	Mineralocorticoid - comparison of repeated measures of aldosterone concentrations profiles - over a period of 24 hours	Study of the diurnal rhythm and pulsatility in healthy participants (and later patients); Diurnal rhythm: cosinor analysis. Comparison of nadir/acme of aldosterone concentrations among participants. Amplitude of the curve; Pulsatility analysis: frequency of the pulses and amplitude	24 hours
