About this study

Official title: Association Between Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number in Peripheral Blood Cells and Risk of Developing Coronary Heart Disease

Compelling epidemiological evidence indicates that alterations of mitochondrial DNA, including mutations and abnormal content of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), are associated with the initiation and development of cardiovascular disease. This study was undertaken to investigate whether mtDNA copy number in peripheral blood cells could be used as a risk predictor for coronary heart disease.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02500823
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CHD group200 consecutive patients were recruited, who have diagnosed with coronary heart disease(CHD) by coronary angiography.
Control groupThe 200 healthy controls without previous CHD history were recruited from individuals who visited investigator's hospital for physical examination during the same time period as the case enrollment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relative copy number of mitochondrial DNA

    The ratio of mitochondrial DNA copy number to hemoglobin copy number was calculated for each sample from standard curves. After that, the ratio for each sample was normalized to a calibrator DNA in order to standardize between different runs, and then defined as the measurement of relative mtDNA copy number.Relative copy number of Mitochondrial DNA were measured in CHD patients in comparison to control group.

    Measured: From date of percutaneous coronary intervention until the date of discharging from hospital, assessed up to 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Heart Disease, run by Air Force Military Medical University, China at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 17 May 2016. 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 China. 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?

Relative copy number of mitochondrial DNA (time frame: From date of percutaneous coronary intervention until the date of discharging from hospital, assessed up to 5 days). 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 NCT02500823, 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 17 May 2016.
