Clinical and Biological Safety Study of the BTT Hyperthermia in Adult Subjects
Clinical and Biological Safety Study of the BTT Hyperthermia in Adult Subjects
The Abreu BTT 700 Temperature Management System (TMS) is a device that gently raises the body temperature of the participant to a fever-range level in a controlled setting. There will be one study treatment session. with the TMS system and four safety assessments: before the session, about two hours afterward, on the next day, and again on the third day after the session. Your participation in the study will last about three days in total. An electrocardiogram (ECG - traces the electrical activity of the heart) will be performed during screening. This is not a randomized or blinded study -- all participants will receive the same study treatment. The TMS system has been previously used in other settings, but this study is designed specifically to collect safety data in adult volunteers.
Participants are being asked to take part because they are healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 65 and have no history of any heart, cancer, or neurological disorders. Participation in this study will help researchers understand how healthy people respond to this technology before it is tested in people with specific medical conditions.
Voluntary Participation: Taking part in this study is completely voluntary. Volunteers do not have to participate and may withdraw at any time. Stopping to participate in the study will not result in any penalties or loss of benefits.
Benefits, Compensation, and Risk: Subjects may not receive any direct benefit from participating in this study. However, participation will help researchers develop safer treatments for others in the future. There is no cost to participate.
Possible risks include feeling tired, sweating, or experiencing temporary changes in heart rate or blood pressure. Rare but serious risks could include overheating, dehydration, or fainting. The study team will monitor you closely throughout the process to minimize risks and will stop the session immediately if there are any safety concerns.
