Trial summary

The aim of this study was to investigate whether carotid IMT can predict the presence of more advanced atherosclerosis such as carotid stenosis, coronary or intracranial artery disease by MDCT and whether MDCT could be useful next step for more aggressive treatment modality in Korean type 2 diabetic patients.

About this study

Official title: Association of Carotid IMT and Large-vessel Atherosclerosis by MDCT in Korean Type 2 Diabetic Patients

The aim of this study was to investigate whether carotid IMT can predict the presence of more advanced atherosclerosis such as carotid stenosis, coronary or intracranial artery disease by MDCT and whether MDCT could be useful next step for more aggressive treatment modality in Korean type 2 diabetic patients.

Read the detailed description

We evaluated mean/maximal carotid IMT in seventy-one type 2 diabetic subjects, and defined increased carotid IMT as maximal IMT ≥ 1.0 mm. Multidetector CT (MDCT) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were taken to evaluate carotid artery stenosis (CS), coronary artery disease (CAD), intracranial arterial lesion (ICA), and peripheral artery disease (PAD). We compared prevalence of large artery stenosis according to carotid IMT group and evaluated whether maximal IMT ≥ 1.0 mm could predict for significant CAD by MDCT. We performed invasive coronary angiography in some patients (N=14) and analyzed association for degrees of CAD between two angiographic methods.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes, run by Eulji University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 30 Jul 2009. 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 South Korea. 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?

We compared prevalence of large artery stenosis according to carotid IMT group and evaluated whether maximal IMT ≥ 1.0 mm could predict for significant CAD by MDCT. (time frame: 17 months). 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 30 Jul 2009.
