Trial summary

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of Taiwan. American Heart Association (AHA) indicated that CVD patients with Statin therapy would decrease the recurrence of CVD. The goal for lipid lowering in CVD patients was set at the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) below 100 mg/dL. Read more about this study

About this study

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of Taiwan. American Heart Association (AHA) indicated that CVD patients with Statin therapy would decrease the recurrence of CVD. The goal for lipid lowering in CVD patients was set at the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) below 100 mg/dL. Coenzyme Q10 is recognized as a lipid soluble antioxidant, Statin treatment might affect the level of coenzyme Q10. Therefore, the purposes of this study are going to investigate the relation of coenzyme Q10 with other antioxidant vitamins (Vitamin A and E), the markers of lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes activities, and the inflammatory markers in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients during Statin therapy. The study is going to design a placebo-controlled study. The investigators will recruit coronary artery disease (CAD) patients who are identified by cardiac catheterization as having at least 50% stenosis of one major coronary artery, and healthy subjects. CAD subjects are randomly assign to placebo and coenzyme Q10 supplements (150 mg/bid = 300 mg/d) groups. Intervention is going to administration for three months. Fasting blood will be obtained in each month and determine the concentration of antioxidant vitamins, lipid peroxidation markers, antioxidant enzymes activities after intervention. Meanwhile, the investigators will measure the level of inflammatory markers in all subjects of this study. Hopefully, the results of this study could provide information of coenzyme Q10 supplementation for clinical dietitian in advising CAD patients who are under Statin therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Antioxidant and inflammation

    The study are going to measure the concentrations of coenzyme Q10, vitamin A and E, lipid peroxidation markers (TBARS) and antioxidant enzymes activities (catalase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase), and the level of inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, TNF-alfa, IL-6 and adiponectin) in all subjects of this study.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Coenzyme Q10 in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Taichung Veterans General Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 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 12 Jun 2013. 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 Taiwan. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

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?

Antioxidant and inflammation (time frame: 12 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 NCT01424761, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Jun 2013.
