About this study

Official title: Prospective Observational Study to Asses the Incidence of CVD Complications in Diabetic Patients Pre-stratified by Haptoglobin Phenotype From the I CARE Registry

3054 diabetic patients were screened for Haptoglobin Phenotype as part of the ICARE study (NCT00220831) and composite the I CARE Registry, 1434 Hp 2-2 patients were treated as part of the I CARE study with vitamin E vs. Placebo, this study was recently terminated due to significant differences between the groups and data was sent to publication. All other patients were passively followed since April 2005 for cardiovascular events. We have decided to continue and follow these patients till end of December 2007 to determine the incidence of CVD in theses patients which are pre stratified by Haptoglobin Phenotype.

Read the detailed description

3054 diabetic patients from Clalit Medical Services were screened for Haptoglobin Phenotype as part of the ICARE study (NCT00220831) and composite the I CARE registry, 1434 Hp 2-2 patients were treated as part of the I CARE study with vitamin E vs. Placebo, this study was recently terminated due to significant differences between the groups and data was sent to publication.

During the follow up period of the I CARE study all 3054 registry patients were followed in a passive way, which means that the patients were not called for follow up visits but the reports for CVD events were centrally collected from patient's Hospital admission summaries. Admission summaries were collected using the computerized systems of the Clalit Health Services assuring that when ever a patient in the registry is hospitalized for what ever reason the study coordination them would be aware of that and receive the admission summary. An events adjudication committee adjudicated each event in a blinded fashion to determine the nature of the events.

1434 patients who were treated by vitamin E or placebo in the I CARE study were also followed by follow-up telephone calls.

once I CARE study was officially terminated we have decided to continue and follow the whole 3054 registry patients in the same manner to complete a nearly 3 year follow up to determine in a prospective manner the incidence of CVD events in Diabetic patients which were pre-stratified by Haptoglobin type.

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

What does the primary outcome measure?

same as in ICARE: composite major CVD outcomes (non fatal MI, Stroke and CVD death) (time frame: Continuously till end of June 2008). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
