About this study

The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of myocardial ischaemia in asymptomatic high risk type 2 diabetic patients using stress cardiac MR and how many stress cardiac MR examinations are false positive.

Read the detailed description

Asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) is highly prevalent (ie. 17-59%) in type 2 diabetic patients. In addition, cardiovascular disease remains the most common cause of death in type 2 diabetics. Previous trials using coronary computed tomography angiograms (CCTA) or nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) to screen for asymptomatic coronary artery disease requiring intervention have been unsuccessful at reducing cardiovascular and all cause mortality when compared to optimised medical therapy where cardiovascular risk factors are treated in order to reduce cardiovascular complications. Possible reasons for this include, the choice of imaging modality, the intervention chosen (eg. bare metal stents vs drug eluting stents), patient cohort (eg. all diabetics vs high risk diabetics). Stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is ideally suited to assess this group of high risk patients as there is no radiation exposure and it allows a more complete analysis of the heart including the assessment of myocardial viability, cardiac systolic and diastolic function. The significance of this envisioned randomised controlled trial is firstly to investigate if stress CMR screening will reduce major adverse cardiovascular events including death. Secondly, a study using stress CMR has never been performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Coronary Artery Disease, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 13 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 20 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 Hong Kong. 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?

Prevalence of myocardial ischaemia (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03263728, 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 20 Aug 2019.
