About this study

Official title: Screening Asymptomatic Patients With Diabetes for Unknown Coronary Artery Disease: an Open-label Randomized Study Comparing Exercise Testing Strategy With Management Based on Pharmacological/Behavioral Treatment of Traditional Risk Factors

In the present study a cohort of diabetic patients without any symptoms and without known coronary artery disease (CAD) will be screened at the investigators' diabetes outpatients services. Those with intermediate or high risk will be asked to participate and enrolled. They will be seen and followed by the cardiologists in order to provide the best adherence to medical therapy. By mean of a randomization process, a group of patients will undergo an exercise electrocardiography (ECG) testing while the other group will continue to be regularly seen at the investigators' cardiology service. Those patients with a positive exercise ECG test will be study by coronary angiography and treated according to the severity of coronary lesions by percutaneous stenting or surgery. Both groups of patients will be seen every six-eight months for the next three years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing exercise testing - coronary angiography - revascularization in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Diabetes Mellitus, run by TURRINI FABRIZIO at 1 site in Italy.

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 21 Nov 2012. 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 Italy. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Death and myocardial infarction (time frame: three years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00547872, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Nov 2012.
