Trial summary

Cigarette smoking is the most important modifiable cardiovascular risk factor leading to endothelial dysfunction and was suggested to impair arterial regeneration.The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of smoking on vascular response to transradial coronary angiography (TCA).

What is being measured

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

  1. IMT hyperplasia

    IMT is measured by high resolution ultrasound in the radial arteries.

    Measured: change in radials IMT after 6-14 month after a TCA

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Endothelial function

    Flow mediated dilatation (FMD)

    Measured: change in flow mediated dilatation after 10-14 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of FMD and IMT, run by Klinik für Kardiologie, Pneumologie und Angiologie at 1 site in Germany.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2014. 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 Germany. 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?

IMT hyperplasia (time frame: change in radials IMT after 6-14 month after a TCA). 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 4 Jun 2014.
