Trial summary

Now, adipose tissue is established as an active endocrine organ that controls systemic energy homeostasis by secretion of adipokines. Recently, members of the C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein (CTRP) family have been reported to share structural homology with adiponectin. Read more about this study

About this study

Now, adipose tissue is established as an active endocrine organ that controls systemic energy homeostasis by secretion of adipokines. Recently, members of the C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein (CTRP) family have been reported to share structural homology with adiponectin. To date, 15 CTRP family members have been found that might play major roles in metabolism and inflammation. The investigators tried to clarify the relationship between CTRP family and coronary artery disease (CAD) in Korean men and women.

Read the detailed description

Adipose tissue secretes various kinds of bioactive molecules termed adipokines which contribute to the development of obesity-related disorders including cardiovascular disease (CVD). Adiponectin is the insulin-sensitizing adipokine with anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties. Hypoadiponectinemia has been associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in several though not all studies. Recently, a new family of secreted proteins, C1q/TNF-related protein (CTRP), was cloned on the basis of sequence homology with adiponectin. This family of adiponectin paralogs might have pivotal implications in energy homeostasis and obesity-related inflammation. Each CTRP family member has its own unique tissue expression profile and function in regulating glucose and/or fat metabolism. In the present study, we evaluated the role of CTRP in patients with CAD and investigated whether CTRP family is significantly associated with CAD prevalence after adjustment for well-known CAD risk factors.

Patients with CADAcute coronary syndromoe (ACS) patients who were admitted to the coronary care unit.

What is being measured

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

  1. serum concentration of CTRP-1,3, or 9 in the subjects with/without CAD

    compare serum concentration of CTRP-1,3 or 9 between CAD patients and normal group

    Measured: at enrollment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The relationships of serum CTRPs/adiponectin levels with cardiometabolic risk profiles

    find the correlation of CTRPs and adiponection with cardiometabolic risk

    Measured: at enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), 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 2 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2018. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Study subjects were not enrolled.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

serum concentration of CTRP-1,3, or 9 in the subjects with/without CAD (time frame: at enrollment). 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 20 Mar 2018.
