About this study

Official title: Impact of Intensive Exercise Training Compared to Inactive Controls on Coronary Collateral Circulation and Plaque Composition in Patients With Significant Stable Coronary Artery Disease

Exercise training in patients with coronary artery disease is able to correct several risk factors. Furthermore endothelial function can be improved.

There are some hinds for improved collateral circulation after exercise training, nevertheless there is no study showing significant improvement/ increase in coronary collaterals. This might be due to technique of collateral measurement. Therefore we conduct a study were coronary blod flow before and after 4 weeks of exercise training were measured.

Being tested
exercise training, Intensive exercise training
Keywords
stable coronary artery disease, significant coronary stenosis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • exercise trainingBehavioural

    exercise training min. 4 times a day for at least 30 min

  • Intensive exercise trainingBehavioural

    Intensive exercise training for 4 times / day incl. interval training at 95% individual threshold

What is being measured

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

  1. coronary collateral blod flow

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. plaque composition within the coronary artery

    plaque composition measured by virtual histology intravascular ultrasound

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. MACCE

    major cardiovascular events (death, myocardial infarction, stroke, TIA, coronary revascularisation, hospitalisation)

    Measured: 4 week, 6 months, 12 months

  3. atherosclerosis parameter within the laboratory

    e.g. wie hs-CRP, HDL, LDL, ges. Cholesterin, Triglyceride, Zytokine, Adipokine, Endocannaboide

    Measured: 4 weeks, 3, 6, 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing exercise training and Intensive exercise training in people with Stable Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Leipzig at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2016. 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 Germany. 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?

coronary collateral blod flow (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 NCT01209637, which also lists 2 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 26 Oct 2016.
