Trial summary

Asymptomatic subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus were randomized to either screening with Tc-99m sestamibi adenosine SPECT imaging or no screening. All patients will be followed for 5 years for the occurrence of cardiac death or non-fatal myocardial infarction. The aims are: 1. Read more about this study

About this study

Asymptomatic subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus were randomized to either screening with Tc-99m sestamibi adenosine SPECT imaging or no screening. All patients will be followed for 5 years for the occurrence of cardiac death or non-fatal myocardial infarction.

The aims are:

  1. To prospectively assess the prevalence of silent myocardial ischemia in asymptomatic subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
  2. To identify on the basis of clinical and/or biochemical variables in a high-risk cohort in which screening for coronary artery disease is appropriate.
  3. To assess progression of (silent) myocardial ischemia after 3 years.
  4. To assess the occurence of cardiac death or nonfatal myocardial infarction during 5 years follow-up in screened and not screened subjects.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevalence of silent myocardial ischemia in subjects randomized to screening was 22%.

    Measured: At study entry

  2. At repeat stress imaging three years after recruitment 79% of subjects showed resolution of ischemia, whereas only 10% developed new ischemia.

    Measured: 3 years after start

  3. Overall cardiac event rate (cardiac death, myocardial infarction) was 3.0%, not different in screened and not screened cohort

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Yale University 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 9 Oct 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of silent myocardial ischemia in subjects randomized to screening was 22%. (time frame: At study entry). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00769275, which also lists 3 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 9 Oct 2008.
