Trial summary

The investigators posit that a multi-national collaborative effort with focused investigations in environments with the highest levels of exposure (developing countries such as China and India), are likely to provide new and much needed data on the risk posed by these variables on an individuals life-time risk for… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 35 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects will be recruited from clinics affiliated with the Fuwai Hospital, PUMC. The participants will be nonsmokers with cardiometabolic disease, that are not taking anti-hypertensive, glucose-lowering, or lipid-lowering medications or drugs that alter baseline insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, or endothelial function, daily use of NSAIDS is not allowed.

Who may be able to join

  • Nonsmokers, 35-65 years living in a nonsmoking household.
  • CM will be defined by IDF criteria (http://www.idf.org) specific for Asians [waist circumference >90 cm in males and 80 cm in females) plus any two of the following four factors: TG level: >150 mg/dL, HDL: < 40 mg/dL in males and < 50 mg/dL in females, systolic BP >130, fasting plasma glucose > 100 mg/dL or previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes.

Who cannot join

  • Any active smoking within past 1 year, occupational exposures to pollutants (per discretion of investigators), self-reported daily secondhand smoke exposure > 1 hour long (workplace or home),
  • History of any CV disease (e.g. previous myocardial infarction), or overt type 2 diabetes.
  • Fasting glucose > 126 mg/dL or a screening BP is >160/100 mm Hg.
  • Patients cannot be taking any anti-hypertensive, glucose-lowering, or lipid-lowering medications or drugs that can alter baseline insulin sensitivity, BP, or endothelial function (e.g. anti-oxidants, multi-vitamins, folic acid, fish oil supplementation, L-arginine),
  • Daily use of NSAIDS is not allowed; however intermittent PRN usage is acceptable.
  • In the course of the year should a subject develop any of exclusion criteria they will be allowed to complete the study and the potential confounding effects will be assessed in statistical analyses.

About this study

The investigators posit that a multi-national collaborative effort with focused investigations in environments with the highest levels of exposure (developing countries such as China and India), are likely to provide new and much needed data on the risk posed by these variables on an individuals life-time risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular complications. The investigators will test this hypothesis through the establishment of a network that would lead studies on the links between exposure and adverse Chronic cardiometabolic effects and propose doing this in this as part of 3 specific aims.

Read the detailed description

In aim 1, the investigators propose to establish feasibility of such an effort in Beijing, China, an effort that will involve implementation of novel exposure assessment methodologies simultaneously with the ability to execute key surrogate outcome measures of importance in cardiovascular risk with CM diseases. In Aim 2, the association between functional cardiovascular risk variables [insulin sensitivity, Blood Pressure, endothelial function] and acute and sub-acute variations in personal black carbon and ambient particulate matter 2.5 levels among 50 individuals with the chronic cardiometabolic syndrome will be investigated. In Aim 3, the investigators will examine potential biologic pathways of importance in the proposed functional outcomes. Specifically the investigators will determine the association between ambient particulate matter 2.5 levels and alterations in adipocytokines/inflammatory variables and autonomic nervous system balance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metabolic Syndrome X, run by Sanjay Rajagopalan at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 6 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 8 Feb 2018. 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 United States, China. 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?

Death (time frame: 48 months). 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 8 Feb 2018.
