About this study

Official title: The Effect of Tongguan Capsule for MicroRNA Profiles Between Qi-Stagnation and Qi-Deficiency in Coronary Heart Disease Patients With Blood Stasis Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

The purpose of this study is to test the expression of microRNAs related to the syndromes after the intervention of Tongguan capsule,preliminarily to investigate the mechanism of the effects of Tongguan capsule, and provide the biological foundation of curative effect of Tongguan capsule.

Read the detailed description

The primary end points is the core of the whole experiment scheme. miRNAs regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally by degrading messenger RNA (mRNA) targets and by blocking their translation Secondary endpoints will include The adverse cardiac clinical events (MACE) in terms of cardiac death,periprocedural myocardial infarction (MI),spontaneous MI and target vessel revascularization(TVR). Related parameters of qi and blood are the material basis of blood conversion and objective performance is used to evaluate the effect on Tongguan capsule on patients with blood stagnation, which can be either interpretation theory of qi deficiency and blood stagnation and mutual transformation between qi and blood can find targets through Tongguan capsule on blood . Routine laboratory tests are used for screening patients basic situation and ensure the safety of the experiment The traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scale Including the the score of deficiency of qi and score of blood stasis syndrome mainly used to identify patients with the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome type Approximately 100 patients in Coronary Heart Disease Patients with Blood Stasis Syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention will be enrolled and randomized to divided into Qi -stagnation and blood stasis, Qi- deficiency and blood stasis, after the PCI surgery, Qi deficiency and blood stasis group were randomly divided into Tongguan capsule group and the control group, and qi stagnation and blood stasis group, too ,giving patients through Tongguan capsule 3 pills three times a day(1.5g/day), once every three months follow-up, after have been followed up to six months

What is being measured

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

  1. miRNAs spectrum

    Test the expression of microRNAs related to the syndromes after the intervention of Tongguan capsule,preliminarily to investigate the mechanism of the effects of Tongguan capsule, and provide the biological foundation of curative effect of Tongguan capsule.

    Measured: six months

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. major adverse cardiac event

    frequency of the reported cardiovascular events (defined as cardiogenic death, stroke, recurrent myocardial infarction, readmission on account of deterioration of congestive heart failure or unstable angina, target vessel revascularization)

    Measured: six months

  2. Renin predicts cardiovascular homeostasis and ventricular remodeling

    renin(ng/ml) predicts cardiovascular homeostasis and blood pressure maintenance and plays an important role in ventricular remodeling

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Ang II predicts cardiovascular homeostasis and ventricular remodeling

    Ang II(pg/ml) predicts cardiovascular homeostasis and blood pressure maintenance and plays an important role in ventricular remodeling

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Serum E

    Acute coronary syndrome is caused by atherosclerotic plaque instability and rupture. The stability of plaque is closely related to inflammation.Serum E (pmol / L) is an important pathway of various immune and inflammatory regulation, which promotes the development of atherosclerosis and is a risk factor for atherosclerosis.

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Inflammatory mediators

    Tumor Necrosis factor alpha (ng/L)and Interleukin-6,IL-6 (ng/L) measure of the general situation of patients

    Measured: 6 months

  6. Brain Natriuretic Peptide

    B-type natriuretic peptide(pg/ml) is a neurohormone synthesized in the cardiac ventricles upon ventricular pressure overload and ventricular dilatation

    Measured: 6 months

  7. Echocardiography measure of left ventricular systolic function

    Evaluation of left ventricular systolic function by left ventricular ejection fraction( LVEF) (%)

    Measured: 6 months

  8. Echocardiography measure of left ventricular diastolic function

    Left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (mm )measure of left ventricular diastolic function in patients

    Measured: 6 months

  9. New York Heart Association functional classification

    I Cardiac disease, but no symptoms and no limitation in ordinary physical activity, e.g. no shortness of breath when walking, climbing stairs etc. II Mild symptoms (mild shortness of breath and/or angina) and slight limitation during ordinary activity. III Marked limitation in activity due to symptoms, even during less-than-ordinary activity, e.g. walking short distances (20-100 m).Comfortable only at rest. IV Severe limitations. Experiences symptoms even while at rest. Mostly bedbound patients.

    Measured: 6 months

  10. Coronary angiography

    Quantitative coronary angiography in the stenosis degree, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 99%, 100%, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8,, 16, 32, and, respectively.

    Scoring multiplication will segment coefficients corresponding to the degree of stenosis and the stenosis of total score that is the sum of Gensini score of coronary artery stenosis in the patients.

    Measured: 6 months

  11. Seattle Angina Questionnaire score

    The Seattle Angina Questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument that measures five clinically important dimensions of health in patients with coronary artery disease (physical limitation, anginal stability, anginal frequency, treatment satisfaction, and disease perception). (in Units on a Scale).

    Measured: 6 months

  12. The traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scale

    The traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scale Including the the score of deficiency of qi and score of blood stasis syndrome mainly used to identify patients with traditional Chinese medicine syndrome type

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tongguan capsule in people with Coronary Heart Disease and Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine 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 5 inclusion and 12 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 2 Aug 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Contact Huizheng Zhu, PHD (86-20-81887233 ext. 32808, 754357604@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

miRNAs spectrum (time frame: six months). 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 2 Aug 2016.
