Trial summary

This study, conducted in Argentina at the Hospital Espa ol de la Plata and the Hospital Franc s de Buenos Aires, in collaboration with the NHLBI, will investigate possible genetic factors that lead to in-stent restenosis. A stent is a wire mesh tube that is surgically placed to open a blocked artery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Genomics of In-Stent Restenosis: Endarterectomy Study

This study, conducted in Argentina at the Hospital Espa ol de la Plata and the Hospital Franc s de Buenos Aires, in collaboration with the NHLBI, will investigate possible genetic factors that lead to in-stent restenosis. A stent is a wire mesh tube that is surgically placed to open a blocked artery. The stent stays in the artery permanently, holding it open to improve blood flow. In the case of blocked coronary arteries, the stent improves blood flow to the heart muscle, relieving symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath. Sometimes re-growth of tissue within a stent, called in-stent restenosis, leads to narrowing of the artery, decreased blood flow, and a recurrence of symptoms. Genetic analysis may allow the identification of patient that may be at increased risk for in-stent restenosis and lead to methods of prevention and treatment.

Patients 18 years of age and older who are undergoing coronary endarterectomy (surgery to remove plaque from an artery) to treat in-stent restenosis at the Hospital Espa ol de la Plata and the Hospital Franc s de Buenos Aires may be eligible for this study.

Participants will have a blood sample drawn and undergo coronary endarterectomy. Tissue removed from the patient's artery or the stent during surgery will be analyzed for gene expression profiling and genotyping. The results will be studied along with information about the patients' medical history.

Read the detailed description

Our laboratory is investigating the genetic basis of the vascular disease, in-stent restenosis. We hypothesize that patients with in-stent restenosis have abnormal expression of cell cycle regulatory and inflammatory genes that lead to accelerated development of vascular lesions following angioplasty, and that there is a genetic component underlying individual differences to vascular injury. We are conducting an investigation of human subjects with in-stent restenosis, entitled the CardioGene Study. The objective of the CardioGene study is to identify the genetic profile of patients at risk for in-stent restenosis. The CardioGene study completed enrollment of 465 patients in December 2004. Analysis of blood gene expression profiles, proteomic and genotyping data is currently ongoing. All analyses are conducted using peripheral blood. Concurrent analysis of restenosis tissue samples would be valuable in defining the molecular genetics of the disease.

In this complementary study of endartectomy tissues, we will collect diseased restenosis tissues removed from patients as part of their routine clinical care. We will also collect blood at the time of tissue harvesting for genomic analysis, in addition to clinical data. Genomic data will be compared to the CardioGene study findings, for the purposes of validation as well as more detailed understanding of the biology of restenosis, by investigation the molecular mechanisms of restenosis in the tissue samples.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of In-Stent Restenosis and Vascular Disease, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) at 1 site 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 4 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 4 Mar 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00341562, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Mar 2008.
