About this study

Official title: Effects of a Personalized Training Program on Trans-thoracic Adenosine-assisted Coronary Flow Reserve in Healthy Volunteers

This study investigates whether an individualized exercise program, including a personal trainer, can improve cardiovascular status quantified with ultrasound to assess coronary flow reserve and other non-invasive techniques. The subjects in the study will be divided into two groups; one group will have a personalized exercise- and nutrition program and the other group will have acess to a gym membership, but no personal trainer.

Read the detailed description

Coronary heart disease is one of our most common diseases that causes significant morbidity and mortality. Because the risk of serious cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction and death, is evident in this patient population, it is of utmost importance to develop diagnostic methods to identify patients at risk. The most appropriate diagnostic methods are those that are safe to implement for both patient and physician, but also accessible and cost-efficient.

By using non-invasive techniques such as ultrasound, coronary artery function can be examined as coronary flow reserve (CFR). In the platform of non-invasive techniques used by the investigators for examinations of cardiovascular status, other methods are included, such as measurement of intima-media thickness in the carotid and radial arteries. The investigators goal is to compare the group with the personalized program with its placebo, and to compare the two study-groups with each other, to investigate whether the personalized program provides greater health benefits.

What participants receive

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

  • physical exerciseBehavioural

    Also called DAPS

    DAPS-group will follow a personal adjusted training program including instructions from a personal trainer Standard-group will receive a membership at a gym but limited instructions

  • limited physical exerciseBehavioural

    Also called Standard

    The standard group will receive a membership at a gym but limited instructions and no access to a personal trainer

What is being measured

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

  1. Coronary flow reserve (CFR)

    Ultrasound-assessed coronary flow reserve. Data will be presented as a ratio (no unit) between maximal mean hyperemia flow velocity and baseline velocity

    Measured: 3-6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. endothelial function

    measured by EndoPath-device as RHI (reactive hyperemic index). Data will be presented as number of patients with abnormal RHI-values

    Measured: 3-6 months

  2. cIMT (carotid artery intima-media thickness)

    carotid artery intima-media thickness, data will be presented in mm

    Measured: 3-6 months

  3. metabolic biomarkers

    relevant metabolic blood biomarkers, data will be presented as numbers of participants with values of laboratory analyses below or above reference values

    Measured: 3-6 months

  4. cardiovascular biomarkers

    relevant cardiovascular blood biomarkers, data will be presented as numbers of participants with values of laboratory analyses below or above reference values

    Measured: 3-6 months

  5. QoL (quality of life)

    quality of life as measured by the validated scale PGWB (personal general well-being scale). Data will be presented as scores from the scale.

    Measured: 3-6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing physical exercise and limited physical exercise in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Heart Infarction, run by Göteborg University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 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 13 Sep 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 Sweden. 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?

Coronary flow reserve (CFR) (time frame: 3-6 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 NCT02713724, 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 2016.
