About this study

This study aims to evaluate the role of leukocyte activation in coronary artery disease

Read the detailed description
  1. The primary aim of REAL CAD is to determine regional differences of leukocyte activation in different vascular beds in vivo.
  2. The secondary aim is to investigate differences in leukocyte activation between diabetic and CAD subjects and patients suffering from both.
  3. The third aim is to investigate the relationship between complement components, triglycerides and leukocyte activation markers in order to gain more insight into the causative processes leading to activation of leukocytes.
  4. The fourth aim is to get more insight in the MBL genotypes and serum levels of CAD and/or diabetic patients and the 'healthy' groups included in our study.
Medical subject headings
Inflammation, Coronary Artery Disease

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess the level of leukocyte activation in different vascular beds, by measuring monocyte CD11b and neutrophil CD11b and CD66b in blood obtained from the left and right coronary artery, the abdominal aorta, the femoral artery and a peripheral vein

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Investigate differences in leukocyte activation between patients with and without diabetes mellitus or coronary artery disease by comparing the level of monocyte CD11b and neutrophil CD11b and CD66b

    Measured: Baseline

  2. To investigate the predictive value of leukocyte activation markers CD11b and CD66b in different vascular regions in the prediction of future coronary events, by measuring these markers at baseline

    Measured: 6 years follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammation and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Sint Franciscus Gasthuis at 2 sites in Netherlands.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 3 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Netherlands. 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?

Assess the level of leukocyte activation in different vascular beds, by measuring monocyte CD11b and neutrophil CD11b and CD66b in blood obtained from the left and right coronary artery, the abdominal aorta, the femoral artery and a peripheral vein (time frame: Baseline). 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 3 Mar 2015.
