About this study

Official title: Search a Correlation Between Lipoprotein(a) Rate and TFPI(Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor)Activity in Obese Patients With Chest Pain Like Angina

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality in our countries. Clinically, symptoms could be chest pain suggesting stable angina. Atherosclerosis is influenced by cardiovascular risk factors which obesity (Body Mass Index>30). Obesity is associated with an increase risk of cardiovascular complications.

Lipoprotein(a) is regarded as an independent risk factor for premature cardiovascular disease. Lp(a) is composed of low-density lipoprotein - like particle bound to glycoprotein molecule: apolipoprotein(a). Plasma levels are determinated to more than 90% by genetic factors (no significant influence of statin, weight, lifestyle factor: diet, exercise). Two study with few patients have found that aspirin lowers serum Lp(a) levels. Elevated Lp(a) is a risk factor for recurrent coronary events in obese patient.

Atherosclerosis is associated with imbalance of coagulation. TFPI (tissue factor pathway inhibitor) is the earliest inhibitor of the blood coagulation process, natural direct inhibitor of tissue factor. In-vitro, TFPI activity is inhibited by high Lp(a) .

The aim of this study is to research reverse association between Lp(a) and TFPI activity in obese patient with chest pain like stable angina suggesting atherosclerotic heart disease and effect of aspirin.

What is being measured

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

  1. correlation between Lp(a) and TFPI activity

    Establish correlation between Lp(a) rate and TFPI activity in obese patients with chest pain like stable angina

    Measured: day 1

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Correlation between Lp(a) and TFPI resistance

    Establish correlation between Lp(a) rate and TFPI resistance at inclusion and 1 month after aspirin treatment

    Measured: day 1

  2. Correlation between lp(a) rate and TFPI activity

    Establish the correlation, 1 month after initiation of aspirin treatment, between lp(a) rate and TFPI activity

    Measured: 1 month

  3. thrombin generation

    describe thrombin generation with calibrated automated thrombinography technique in obese patient with chest pain like angina and hight Lp(a)rate

    Measured: day 1

  4. Correlation between Lp(a) and TFPI resistance

    Establish correlation between Lp(a) rate and TFPI resistance at inclusion and 1 month after aspirin treatment

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atherosclerosis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 3 sites in France.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

correlation between Lp(a) and TFPI activity (time frame: day 1). 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 29 Sep 2014.
