Trial summary

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate if systematic, high intensity, interval-based aerobic exercise training results in regression of lipid content of atherosclerotic coronary artery plaques, and in reduction of plaque burden in patients with stable coronary heart disease.

About this study

Official title: Physical Activity and Lipid Content of Coronary Artery Atheromatous Plaques: a Randomised Trial Using Novel Intracoronary Imaging Techniques

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate if systematic, high intensity, interval-based aerobic exercise training results in regression of lipid content of atherosclerotic coronary artery plaques, and in reduction of plaque burden in patients with stable coronary heart disease. Composition and morphologic characteristics of plaques will be studied by intra-coronary near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing high intensity interval-based aerobic exercise in people with Coronary Disease, run by Norwegian University of Science and Technology at 1 site in Norway.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2019. 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 Norway. 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?

lipid content of atherosclerotic coronary artery plaques (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT02494947, 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 26 Aug 2019.
