Trial summary

Hypothesis: Peripheral blood Very Small Embryonic-like Stem Cells (VSELs) are different in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients from those without CAD, which might account for the benefits of Atorvastatin in CAD patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Randomly Controlled Clinical Trial of the Association Between Very Small Embryonic-like Stem Cells and the Prognosis of Coronary Artery Disease Patients

Hypothesis: Peripheral blood Very Small Embryonic-like Stem Cells (VSELs) are different in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients from those without CAD, which might account for the benefits of Atorvastatin in CAD patients.

Read the detailed description
  1. Hypothesis: The VSELs might be mobilized in the situation of cardiac ischemia in CAD patients. In addition, the benefits derived from Atorvastatin administration in CAD patients may be related to VSELs via sCD40L-SDF1/CXCR4 signal pathway.
  2. The number and function of peripheral blood VSELs in CAD patients compared with the controls.
  3. Included patients: including 200 CAD patients receiving coronary angiography (CAG) as positive subjects, 100 as control who are negative for CAG.
  4. The IRB approve and all subjects sign the informed consent.
  5. All subjects will receive the detection and analysis of the peripheral blood VSELs, including VSEL number, immigration capability after sCD40L administration.
  6. All subjects will receive the follow-up for 1 year, and the MACE (major adverse cardiovascular events) are recorded including angina, repeat myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, major organ dysfunction, and death.
  7. the association between VSELs and MACE in CAD patients will be statistically analyzed.
  8. Atorvastatin administration improves the prognosis of CAD patients through exerting impacts on VSELs
  9. Included patients: including 200 CAD patients receiving coronary angiography as positive subjects, 100 as control who are negative for coronary angiography.
  10. The IRB approve and all subjects sign the informed consent.
  11. Fifty CAD subjects will receive intensive Atorvastatin administration and 50 CAD patients receiving the routine Atorvastatin administration as controls.
  12. All subject will receive the follow-up for 1 year, and peripheral blood VSELs, SDF-1/CXCR4 are tested, and the MACE (major adverse cardiovascular events) are recorded including angina, repeat myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, major organ dysfunction, and death.
  13. the Intensive Atorvastatin protocol indicates that 80mg Atorvastatin will be administrated before CAG, and then are followed with 20mg Atorvastatin during the entire study period.
  14. the Routine Atorvastatin protocol indicates that 20mg Atorvastatin daily during the entire study period.

What participants receive

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

  • Intensive statinDrug

    Also called Intensive Atorvastatin

    the Intensive Atorvastatin protocol indicates that once 80mg Atorvastatin will be administrated before CAG, and then will be followed with 20mg Atorvastatin daily during the entire study period.

  • Routine statinDrug

    Also called Routine Atorvastatin.

    the Routine Atorvastatin protocol indicates that 20mg Atorvastatin daily during the entire study period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of peripheral blood VSELs

    All subject will receive the follow-up for 1 year, and peripheral blood VSELs are counted.

    Measured: during 1 year after enrollment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. MACE

    All subject will receive the follow-up for 1 year, and the MACE (major adverse cardiovascular events) are recorded including angina, repeat myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, major organ dysfunction, and death.

    Measured: During 1 year in the study period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Intensive statin and Routine statin in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Ji Huang at 1 site in China.

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 1 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 6 Jul 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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 Ji Huang, MD (86-10-64456535, salyherry@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of peripheral blood VSELs (time frame: during 1 year after enrollment). 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 NCT01633359, 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 6 Jul 2012.
