Trial summary

The investigator's hypothesis is that local activation of the endogenous Lp-PLA2 plays an integral role in early atherosclerosis, and contributes to the mechanism of coronary endothelial dysfunction and to the structural and mechanical properties that characterize plaque vulnerability.

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Coronary Plaque Composition Using Optical Coherence Tomography During Chronic Inhibition of Lipoprotein-associated Phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) Activity

The investigator's hypothesis is that local activation of the endogenous Lp-PLA2 plays an integral role in early atherosclerosis, and contributes to the mechanism of coronary endothelial dysfunction and to the structural and mechanical properties that characterize plaque vulnerability. Thus, the investigators study will characterize prospectively the correlation between the functional and structural vascular wall properties, and the activity of the Lp-PLA2 pathway.

Read the detailed description

The present study was a substudy of our National Institute of Health (NIH) funded and Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved (08-008161) protocol "Lp-PLA2 and Coronary Atherosclerosis in Humans" and (10-000044) "Lp-PLA2 and Coronary Atherosclerosis in Humans Aim III" in which the investigators are examining the impact of long-term inhibition of Lp-PLA2, with a specific novel inhibitor, on Lp-PLA2 activity and improvement in coronary endothelial function.

This substudy will use Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to quantify alternate features of plaque vulnerability including superficial microcalcification, fibrous cap thickness, and plaque macrophage content at baseline and again at 6 months following Lp-PLA2 inhibition.

The study will provide insight into the role of the endogenous Lp-PLA2 in early coronary atherosclerosis, a potential therapeutic target for early coronary atherosclerosis in humans.

What participants receive

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

  • Optical Coherence Tomography (C7 XR Dragonfly )Device

    Also called C7 XR Dragonfly Optical Coherence Tomography system

    Evaluation of the coronary artery using Optical Coherence Tomography utilizing the Dragonfly OCT catheter following a clinically indicated angiogram and endothelial function testing with a positive diagnosis of endothelial dysfunction. The procedure is repeated following 6 months of Lp-PLa2 inhibition or placebo.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantification of plaque vulnerability.

    Following recruitment of the total study population and 6-months therapy with the Lp-PLA2 inhibitor or placebo, using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) we will quantify alternate features of plaque vulnerability including superficial microcalcification, fibrous cap thickness, and plaque macrophage content comparing baseline and 6 months studies.

    Measured: change from baseline to six months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Optical Coherence Tomography (C7 XR Dragonfly ) in people with Coronary Atherosclerosis and Endothelial Dysfunction, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 12 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 3 Oct 2016. 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 United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Quantification of plaque vulnerability. (time frame: change from baseline to six 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 3 Oct 2016.
