About this study

Evaluation of skin cholesterol for cardiovascular risk assessment in asymptomatic individuals at low, intermediate, or high risk based on Framingham Global Risk estimates. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), a surrogate marker for atherosclerotic burden, that independently predicts the occurrence of heart attack and stroke, will be the "gold standard" comparator.

Hypothesis: Skin cholesterol, as measured by two non-invasive tests, correlates with CAD, as measured by CIMT in this population.

Read the detailed description

This study will enroll 600 asymptomatic subjects at low (<6%), intermediate (6-20% ), or high (>20%) 10-year Framingham global cardiovascular risk in approximately equal proportions.

Subjects will be enrolled from each of the three risk levels at each study site (6 total in the US). Subjects will be enrolled in a consecutive manner until there are 200 subjects from each risk level. We will track the number of subjects from each risk stratum. We will also ensure adequate representation of women (at least 33%) and African Americans (at least 25%)in the study.

We will test the subjects with 2 non-invasive skin cholesterol tests and will take a sample of blood that will be tested for serum cholesterol values and other markers of CAD. Subjects will also undego a carotid IMT scan.

The primary objective of the study is to see if skin cholesterol correlates with CAD, as measured by CIMT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by PreMD at 6 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Jun 2006.
