About this study

The purpose of this study is to develop new approaches for screening astronauts for cardiovascular risk during deep space missions.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to develop new approaches for screening astronauts for cardiovascular risk during deep space missions. In this protocol, two different forms of imaging will be used to evaluate coronary plaque development (CT coronary angiography) and microvascular function (myocardial contrast echocardiography) to stratify CV risk. Based on this stratification, "omic" patterns (targeted metabolomics, lipidomic, and whole genome sequencing) will be assessed to determine whether there are any patterns that can add to existing predictive models. Outcomes measures will involve correlation of "omic" patterns to incremental risk scaling from lowest (no plaque and normal endothelial function) to highest (+ plaque and endothelial dysfunction).

What participants receive

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

  • Myocardial contrast echocardiographyProcedure or surgery

    Myocardial contrast echocardiography will be performed to further stratify risk as described in the cohort section.

Study groups in NCT02465554
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
No atherosclerosis cohortThis group will have patients who have undergone clinically-indicated CT coronary angiography (CT-A) and who have no plaque and an Agatston score of "0". They will then undergo a myocardial contrast echocardiography study during vasodilator stress to subdivide risk further into "No atherosclerosis/endothelial function normal" and "No atherosclerosis/endothelial function abnormal". Blood will then be collected for metabolomics, lipidomic and whole genome sequencing.
Receives: Procedure: Myocardial contrast echocardiography
Atherosclerosis cohortThis group will have patients who have undergone clinically-indicated CT coronary angiography (CT-A) and who have non-critical plaque (<50% diameter) and at least 1 high risk feature according to the ROMICAT indices. They will then undergo a myocardial contrast echocardiography study during vasodilator stress to subdivide risk further into "atherosclerosis/endothelial function normal" and "atherosclerosis/endothelial function abnormal". Blood will then be collected for metabolomics, lipidomic and whole genome sequencing.
Receives: Procedure: Myocardial contrast echocardiography

What is being measured

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

  1. Omic patterns of atherosclerosis

    In this study, "outcomes" are essentially pre-determined by the patient population according to imaging stratification. Omic patterns of will be assessed by advanced informatics modeling (Random Forest analysis) to determine metabolomic, genomic, and lipidomic patterns that vary according to incremental risk scaling from lowest (no plaque and normal endothelial function) to highest (+ plaque and endothelial dysfunction).

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Oregon Health and Science University at 1 site in United States.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 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 United States. 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?

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?

Omic patterns of atherosclerosis (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 12 Jan 2018.
