NCT ID NCT04227665
First seen May 19, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to find biological markers in urine and blood that can detect altitude exposure and use of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO), a substance sometimes misused in sports. Forty healthy, non-competing athletes will spend time at high altitude and at sea level, receiving either rHuEPO or a placebo. The goal is to improve anti-doping tests by identifying new, sensitive markers for these exposures.
