About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Asymptomatic Coronary Atherosclerotic Disease Among People of Kalamazoo County and Neighboring Areas in Michigan, Who Have Risk Factors of Coronary Artery Disease

The primary goal of this study is to determine the prevalence of undiagnosed asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) in Kalamazoo and its neighboring areas using Coronary Computed Tomography (CCTA) and Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CACS) to assess if asymptomatic CAD is widespread enough to warrant implementation of CCTA as a routine screening tool. Additionally, this study will use the CCTA results to evaluate several methods of assessing CAD risk in the asymptomatic population including Framingham Risk Score (FRS) and Reynold's Risk Score, Biomarkers (High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, Fibrinogen, Vertical Auto Profile, oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), Apolipoprotein B1 (ApoB1), Vitamin D, Homocysteine) as well as a large panel of genetic markers of atherosclerosis and dyslipidemia.

What participants receive

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

  • Computed Tomography (CT) ScanProcedure or surgery

    CT Scans will be used as a diagnostic tool for asymptomatic CAD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Estimation of the proportion of people in the Kalamazoo, MI, area who have asymptomatic CAD.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Compare evidence of atherosclerosis or calcification, as evidenced by CT scan, to associated biomarker values.

    Measured: 3 years

A study testing Computed Tomography (CT) Scan in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Atherosclerosis, run by Borgess Research Institute 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 11 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2020. 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?

Contact Kathleen Gross, MD ((269) 337-4327, kathleen.gross@med.wmich.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Estimation of the proportion of people in the Kalamazoo, MI, area who have asymptomatic CAD. (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Sep 2020.
