About this study

Official title: VLA-1 Receptors on Peripheral T Cells in Ischemic Heart Disease Patients

The examination of the percentage of peripheral T cells carrying VLA-1 in ischemic heart disease patients. The hypothesis is that the percentage levels of cells carrying this integrin rise according to the severity of the ischemic heart disease.

Read the detailed description

Atherosclerosis is considered an inflammatory disease in which lymphocytes have an important role. The study was disigned to find out the changes in T cell levels carrying VLA-1 involvement in this process.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischemic Heart Disease, run by Sheba Medical Center.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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 2 Jul 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The differance in percentage of T cells in the 5 different groups involved. (time frame: 2002-2006). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 2 Jul 2008.
