About this study

Official title: Plasma Kinetics Study of Free Cholesterol and Cholesteryl Ester in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

The diabetic dyslipidemia is one of the most important risk factor in the development of coronary artery disease. The low density lipoprotein (LDL)-like nanoemulsions is being used to study the clearance of cholesteryl ester and free cholesterol from intravascular in patients with advanced coronary artery disease and it was shown a higher removal of free cholesterol and higher deposit in vases of this patients. The aim of this study is to analyze the plasma kinetics of both forms of cholesterol(free ad esterified) in type 2 diabetes patients without a previous history of cardiovascular disease.

Read the detailed description

Hypercholesterolemia is not typical of type 2 diabetes mellitus dyslipidemia, but alterations in LDL may occur related to atherogenesis.Cholesterol exist in two main forms in organism: free cholesterol and the esterified cholesterol. An artificial model to study this two forms of cholesterol is the use of LDL-like nanoemulsion doubly labeled with 14C-cholesteryl esters and 3H- cholesterol. This nanoemulsion is made without protein and when in the intravascular compartment it is able to acquires apolipoproteins from others lipoproteins, such apos A's, C's and E. This model allowed us to use the nanoemulsion particle as a probe to study the lipoproteins receptor binding and the cholesterol esterification process.

    Also called LDL-like nanoemulsion

    this study is done with the injection of LDL-like nanoemulsion doubly labeled with 14C- cholesteryl oleate and 3H- cholesterol, with a total radioactivity injection dose of 0.03mSV. Blood sample collected in a pre established period of time in 24 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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 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 Nov 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 Brazil. 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?

to identify the removal of the free and esterified cholesterol in type 2 diabetes patients (time frame: day of test). 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 NCT01010035, 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 Nov 2009.
