Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients between 18 years to 90 years at entry (coronary angiography) of both genders. Patients with a previous history of coronary revascularization procedure or moderate to severe stenosis will be excluded. Diabetics and non-diabetics, with or without known CV disease, who are admitted in the Department of Cardiology in the University General Hospital of Ioannina and the Catheterization Laboratory of 1st IKA Hospital in Athens and undergo coronary angiography for clinical purposes will be studied. The study includes subjects who; 1) have suspected CAD and undergo a scheduled diagnostic angiogram for clinical reasons, and 2) are hospitalized because of an acute coronary syndrome and thus undergo diagnostic angiography (with or without previous history of CAD).

About this study

Official title: Genetic Polymorphisms Associating With CAD, Inflammatory Biomarkers, and Oxidized Phospholipids in a Greek Population

The design and purpose of the current study is to expand and validate previous findings that the IL-1 gene cluster composite genotype patterns potentiate the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiovascular events mediated by OxPL and Lp(a). A secondary objective is to validate other, non IL-1 genetic variants associated with CAD.

Read the detailed description

The conclusions from an earlier study indicate that the contribution of OxPL/apoB and Lp(a) on angiographically documented CAD and CAD events is conditional on proinflammatory IL-1 genotypes. This novel paradigm links the etiology of atherogenesis attributed to OxPL and Lp(a) from genetics to clinical expression of CAD. ILI has also identified the functional IL-1 gene variations that regulate the IL1B gene in a haplotype context and appear to explain over-expression of IL-1β, as well as the expression of other inflammatory biomolecules that are downstream of IL-1β. The functional IL-1 variants have been combined into patterns that have been associated with risk for more severe periodontal disease across multiple ethnic/racial populations. It is also important to test this functional genetic pattern for similar interactions with OxPL and Lp(a) biomarker levels in association with angiographically documented CAD and CAD events. DNA has been extracted from previously obtained subject blood samples (1173 subjects; 18 years to 90 years at entry (coronary angiography)) at the University General Hospital of Ioannina, Greece study site. DNAs will be labeled by anonymized subject ID # (de-identified), and shipped to ILI for genotyping and genetic analysis. Phase II will determine whether other gene variations (SNPs) previously shown in the literature to be associated with CAD and/or CAD-related secondary events can be validated in this study population.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • IL-1 Genotypes, other SNPs associated with CADGenetic

    Genotyping will be carried out by a CLIA-certified genotyping facility at ILI, Waltham MA. DNA concentrations will be adjusted to a range compatible with multiple PCR conditions. Genotyping will be accomplished by performing multiplex polymerase chain reactions (PCR) specifically targeting the surrounding sequences for the SNPs being studied. A single base extension assay will be hybridized to a 48-plex microarray plate and read on a SNPstream Genotyping System (Beckman-Coulter).

CaseDiabetic patients undergoing coronary angiography (both sexes), who are age 18-90, and admitted in the Department of Cardiology in the University General Hospital of Ioannina and Catheterization Laboratory of 1st IKA Hospital in Athens and undergo coronary angiography for clinical purposes will be studied. Presence epicardial vessel stenosis (>50%), and multi-vessel disease will be recorded. Excluded: previous history of revascularization procedure or moderate to severe stenosis. Patient samples will be evaluated for quantitative levels of the biomarkers Lp(a) and OXPL/apoB. IL-1 Genotypes, and other SNPs associated with CAD will be assessed in this group and related to levels of Lp(a) and oxidized phospolipids. No interventions other than the post-hoc DNA testing will be performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evidence of IL-1 risk genotypes of the Heart Health Test in relation to levels of Lp(a)(mg/dL) and oxPL/apoB (RLU) in CAD patients.

    Compare the frequencies of positive and negative genetic test results (Heart Health Test, composite genotype of rs17561, rs1143634, rs16944) among CAD patients based on previously collected levels (eg. quartiles) of LP(a) and specific oxidized phospholipids among diabetic and non-diabetic subjects.

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evidence of IL-1 risk genotypes of the PerioPredict Test in relation to levels of Lp(a)(mg/dL) and oxPL/apoB (RLU) in CAD patients.

    Compare the frequencies of positive and negative genetic test results (PerioPredict Test, composite genotype of rs16944, rs1143623, rs4848306, rs1143633)among CAD patients based on previously collected levels (eg. quartiles) of LP(a) and specific oxidized phospholipids among diabetic and non-diabetic subjects.

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

  2. Evidence for other non IL-1 gene SNPs, previously shown to be associated with CAD, in relation to levels of Lp(a)(mg/dL) and oxPL/apoB (RLU) among diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

    Compare the frequencies of SNP alleles, haplotypes, and composite genotypes among CAD patients based on levels (eg. quartiles) of LP(a) in mg/dL and oxidized phospholipids/apoB (RLU) among diabetic to non-diabetic subjects.

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 13 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Evidence of IL-1 risk genotypes of the Heart Health Test in relation to levels of Lp(a)(mg/dL) and oxPL/apoB (RLU) in CAD patients. (time frame: Approximately 1 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 NCT02307422, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Sep 2017.
