About this study

Official title: The Prediction of Extent and Risk Profile of Coronary Atherosclerosis (Examined by Intravascular Ultrasound, Virtual Histology and Optical Coherence Tomography) and Their Changes During Lipid-lowering Therapy Based on Non-invasive Techniques.

  • The prediction of extent and risk profile of coronary atherosclerosis based on clinical evaluation and non-invasive techniques.
  • Detailed analysis of plaque volume, plaque composition, risk plaque features and shear stress (WSS) changes during lipid lowering therapy (rosuvastatin 40mg) from 3D vessel reconstruction.
  • Prediction of changes in coronary arteries based on changes in non-invasive examinations.
  • Examination of WSS influence on atherosclerosis development and changes of WSS during lipid lowering therapy.
Read the detailed description

The fundamental aim of this project is development of reliable algorithm for detection of extent and risk profile of coronary atherosclerosis based on non-invasive examinations (carotid ultrasound, examination of retinal vessel, diagnosis of endothelial dysfunction, pro-inflammatory markers including new markers of atherosclerosis and gene polymorphisms) with maximal effort on diagnosis of vulnerable plaques. The second part of the study is prediction of coronary atherosclerosis changes during high-dose lipid-lowering therapy (rosuvastatin 40 mg daily). Coronary artery impairment will be examined by up-to date technology using the fusion of angiography, intravascular ultrasound and virtual histology for 3D coronary artery reconstruction together with information about mechanical properties of arteries like a vessel shear stress. This algorithm for non-invasive assessment of coronary impairment and its changes during will be used for detection of high risk patients (in terms of acute coronary syndrome development) and of patients with low response to statin therapy. Further target is detailed assessment of atherosclerosis development and its changes during lipid-lowering therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The prediction of plaque volume and plaque composition.

    The study is looking for non-invasive predictors of plaque volume and plaque composition. The non-invasive predictors include carotid ultrasound, polymorphism in gene for heme-oxygenase 1 and retinal imaging.

    Measured: The patients will be followed in the study for one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Prediction of changes in plaque volume and plaque composition

    Prediction of changes in plaque composition and plaque volume during lipid lowering therapy based on changes of non-invasive examination.

    Measured: The patients will be followed in the study for one year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rosuvastatin in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by General University Hospital, Prague 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 1 inclusion and 9 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 23 Jan 2013. 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, Czechia. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The prediction of plaque volume and plaque composition. (time frame: The patients will be followed in the study for one year). 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 NCT01773512, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 23 Jan 2013.
