Trial summary

The first event of the atherosclerotic plaque formation is the accumulation of the low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) in to the intima of the arterial wall. After accumulation of the LDL-cholesterol, the oxidation of the LDL-cholesterol particles and recruitment of monocytes to the intima and media… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Statins on the Progression of the Intima-media Thickness of the Radial Artery After Radial Angioplasty

The first event of the atherosclerotic plaque formation is the accumulation of the low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) in to the intima of the arterial wall. After accumulation of the LDL-cholesterol, the oxidation of the LDL-cholesterol particles and recruitment of monocytes to the intima and media are the next steps. The thickening of intima-media thickness (IMT) is resulted from these initial events. The IMT can be easily measured by high-resolution ultrasonography in various arteries including carotid, brachial and radial arteries. The increased carotid IMT can be used as a non-invasive independent parameter indicating increased cardiovascular mortality. Some investigators reported increased radial IMT is associated with increased early failure of the radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula in the hemodialysis patients. Moreover, radial IMT is increased in patients underwent radial artery intervention because of denudation injury of the radial artery. Recently, the use of statin can halt the progression of the carotid IMT progression. However, it is unknown that the use of statin can prevent the progression of radial IMT after the transradial coronary intervention. The investigators want to evaluate the effect of statins on the progression of the radial IMT after the transradial intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing transradial coronary intervention in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Chungnam National University 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 1 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jae-Hyeong Park, MD, PhD (82-42-280-7167, jaehpark@cnuh.co.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference of IMT between two groups (time frame: 1 month, 6 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 6 Aug 2009.
