The Effect of Contrast Agent on Endothelial Function in Healthy Men
A Phase 4 study testing Contrast agent in people with Contrast Agent and Endothelial Function, run by Xiang Guang-da at 1 site in China.
Trial summary
Contrast medium is essential for diagnosis of many diseases. However, recent studies showed that contrast agents can induce renal injury and is associated with poor long-term clinical outcome, especially in diabetes. To date, no data are available on the relationship between contrast medium and endothelial function. Read more about this study

About this study
Contrast medium is essential for diagnosis of many diseases. However, recent studies showed that contrast agents can induce renal injury and is associated with poor long-term clinical outcome, especially in diabetes. To date, no data are available on the relationship between contrast medium and endothelial function. Endothelial dysfunction is known to precede atherosclerosis and is considered a risk marker for future development of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, we hypothesized that contrast agents may induce endothelial dysfunction in healthy men. In addition, we hypothesized that contrast induced endothelial dysfunction via free radicals. Thus, we also test alpha-lipoic acid whether or not protect endothelial dysfunction induced by contrast agents.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Contrast agent in people with Contrast Agent and Endothelial Function, run by Xiang Guang-da 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 13 Aug 2015. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
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?
The endothelial dysfunction and the protective role of alpha-lipoic acid (time frame: 6 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 13 Aug 2015.
