Trial summary

Visceral obesity is the one of the major causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. Adipose tissue secretes various kinds of bioactive molecules termed adipokines which contribute to the development of obesity-related disorders including cardiovascular disease (CVD).

About this study

Official title: Implications of C1q/TNF-related Protein-3(CTRP-3) and Progranulin in Patients With Acutecoronary Syndrome and Stable Angina Pectoris

Visceral obesity is the one of the major causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. Adipose tissue secretes various kinds of bioactive molecules termed adipokines which contribute to the development of obesity-related disorders including cardiovascular disease (CVD). Progranulin and CTRP3 are recently discovered novel adipokines. Therefore, the investigators tried to compare circulating CTRP-3 and progranulin levels in patients with CAD and investigated whether CTRP-3 or progranulin is significantly associated with CAD prevalence after adjustment for well-known CAD risk factors.

Read the detailed description

CTRP-3 (synonyms CORS-26, cartducin and cartonectin) is a potent anti-inflammatory adipokine that inhibits proinflammatory pathways in monocytes and adipocytes. Using a recently developed enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we reported that circulating CTRP-3 levels were elevated in patients with glucose metabolism dysregulation.

Progranulin was identified as a key adipokine mediating high fat diet-induced insulin resistance and obesity through interleukin-6 (IL-6) in adipose tissue. We previously reported that progranulin levels were significantly higher in individuals with type 2 diabetes and were associated with macrophage infiltration in omental adipose tissue. Moreover, the expression of progranulin reduces inflammation and its degradation into granulins peptides enhances inflammation in atherosclerotic plaque, which may contribute to the progression of atherosclerosis There has been no previous report on the implication of CTRP-3 or progranulin in humans with cardiovascular disease (CAD). In the present study, we compared circulating CTRP-3 and progranulin levels in patients with CAD and investigated whether CTRP-3 or progranulin is significantly associated with CAD prevalence after adjustment for well known CAD risk factors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Korea University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 2 Sep 2020. 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 South Korea. 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?

CTRP3 (time frame: 16 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 2 Sep 2020.
