An interventional study of Standard work pace and Reduced-pace work in Hyperthermia, Fatigue; Heat and Work-Related Condition, sponsored by State University of New York at Buffalo. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-06-30.
Sponsored by State University of New York at Buffalo · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The goal of this project is to compare different ways to schedule a workday to see if older workers should follow a specific work protocol to reduce strain on the heart and muscles.
Participants will come to the lab a total of six times. During four of the visits participants will complete a box carrying task, simulating unloading a delivery truck. This will take place in a hot and humid room to simulate being outdoors during the summer.
256 studies on the registry are indexed under Hyperthermia; 73 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 32 is below the median of 40 across 232 interventional studies indexed under Hyperthermia.

Participants will work at a standard pace of one box per minute during the box carrying protocol
Participants will work at a slower pace than the standard work pace of the box carrying protocol
Participants will work at a faster pace than the standard work pace of the box carrying protocol
Participants will work at the standard work pace during the box carrying protocol and have superimposed 5 minutes of rest every 30 minutes.

Plan to share: Yes — A spreadsheet of the cleaned, de-identified individual data for all variables will be shared on at clinicaltrials.gov without restriction to ensure public availability. Individual data will be identified using unique participant identifier numbers. In addition to the datasets, a study protocol, data dictionary defining and describing all variables, and data collection instruments will be shared and associated with the relevant datasets.
Supporting information: Study protocol
Time frame: Data from this project will be made available as soon as able and no later than the time of the final publication. Original data will be preserved indefinitely after the end of the funding period.
Access criteria: Pooled and de-identified data will be made available to interested researchers upon email request.

Start is estimated for Sep 2027; primary completion for Sep 2029, 24 months later.
Of 103 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Hyperthermia, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 30. This study's planned 24 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 108 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 30.
