About this study

Official title: GENOCOR Project-Laboratory of Genetic Mapping for Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk(GENOCOR LAB)

The main objective of the GENOCOR project (Genetic mapping for cardiac risk assessment) is the setting up of a joint public/private laboratory (GENOCOR-LAB) dedicated to the development and testing of new cost-effective technologies exploiting the growing knowledge in the genomic correlates of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and of their evolution; the data obtained by the GENOCOR-Lab should especially orient secondary prevention and specific treatment of ischemic heart diseases (IHD).

Read the detailed description

The Laboratory will be based in the premises of the CNR Institute of Clinical Physiology, a research institution operating as CVD Research Hospital System, with two Hospital Units (CNR Campus in Pisa and G. Pasquinucci Hospital in Massa).

The project is based on the cooperation of a national private company (DiaSorin, endowed with promising proprietary technologies in the novel diagnostic biotechnologies) and three research units (at clinical and molecular biology level) two from the National Research Council (IFC-CNR, Pisa and ITB-CNR, Milano, both very active in advanced biological research) and one from the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele (UHSR, Milano, operating a top range hospital and center for advanced biological research): GENOCOR Lab becomes then the first product of the cooperation within the CNR MERIT Network (MEdical Reseach in ITaly) currently being set-up by CNR.

The project is based on the availability of proprietary large scale databases of selected clinical populations that will be probed with the novel genomic and post-genomic technologies. High throughput SNPs technologies and post-genomic expression and proteomic analyses will be used to assess profiles of genetic variability identifying subjects with a distinct proneness to ischemic heart disease (IHD), hard cardiovascular events and unfavourable outcomes. Specific focusing will be made possible by the availability, within the proposed research network, of well established clinical data bases and biological sample collections, enabling the retrospective and prospective access to large and well characterised populations of patients with IHD. Cardiovascular phenotypes will include patients with acute coronary syndromes (unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction) and patients with chronic ischemic heart disease and prolonged follow-up; with this approach, it will be possible to cover both short-term and long-term evolution by detailed clinical, biohumoral and instrumental phenotyping at the time of acute events and with a systematic follow-up.

This approach should allow to overcome the major limitations and unbalance of previous studies, either focussed to small well characterized populations in which few genetic variations have been explored, or extended to large populations with a wider gene variability approach but inadequate information on phenotype and evolution disease.

What participants receive

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

  • MULTIGENE SCREENING FOR SINGLE SNPSBiological

    DNA will be genotyped employing a multicolour assay system for SNPs based on TaqMan MGB (Minor Groove Binder) probes.

What is being measured

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

  1. association studies between a panel of known SNPs of candidate genes and proneness to IHD and its prognosis;

    High throughput SNPs technologies will be used to assess profiles of genetic variability identifying subjects with a distinct proneness to ischemic heart disease (IHD), hard cardiovascular events and unfavourable outcomes.

    Measured: 4 years

  2. Number of participants with adverse events

    Major cardiac and non-cardiac events will be register for the planned lenght of follow-up

    Measured: maximum length of follow-up between enrollment and events or the planned end of follow-up

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. secondary prevention and specific treatment of ischemic heart diseases (IHD)

    Understanding of genetic and molecular mechanisms of the different clinical syndromes of ischemic heart disease (IHD), of its patterns of evolution and response to treatment represents a key research issue to develop innovating approaches to early diagnosis, risk classification and treatment.

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Angina Pectoris and Myocardial Infarction, run by Fondazione C.N.R./Regione Toscana "G. Monasterio", Pisa, Italy at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 10 Jan 2012. 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Clara Carpeggiani, MD (00390503152005, clara@ifc.cnr.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

association studies between a panel of known SNPs of candidate genes and proneness to IHD and its prognosis; (time frame: 4 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01506999, 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 10 Jan 2012.
