NCT ID NCT04266587

Summary

This study aimed to improve the accuracy of a common blood test that measures a hormone called ACTH. Researchers tested how adding a stabilizing agent (aprotinin) affects ACTH levels in blood samples from 10 healthy volunteers. The goal was to understand the best way to handle blood samples so lab results are more reliable for doctors and patients.
