About this study

Official title: Impact of ALLopurInol on Endothelial fuNCtion in diabEtic Patients Affected With Coronary Artery Disease

This is a randomized trial assessing the impact of allopurinol on endothelial function in optimally treated diabetic patients with coronary artery disease. After initial screening, subjects were randomized to receive either optimal medical therapy (OMT) + allopurinol or OMT alone for 8 weeks. The dose of allopurinol was 300 mg for 4 weeks and 600 mg for 4 weeks with a 4-weekly check on hematology and biochemistry

What is being measured

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

  1. Endothelium-dependent vasodilation

    Brachial Artery Flow-Mediated dilation (FMD)

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Endothelium-independent vasodilation

    Changes in brachial artery diameter in response to nitrates

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Quality of Life (QoL)

    Seattle Angina Questionnaire: a scale that quantifies patients' physical limitations caused by angina, the frequency of and recent changes in their symptoms, their satisfaction with treatment, and the degree to which they perceive their disease to affect their quality of life. Each scale is transformed to a score of 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better function (eg, less physical limitation, less angina, and better quality of life).

    Measured: 2 months

  3. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE)

    composite of cardiac death, non fatal myocardial infarction and unplanned coronary revascularization

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Allopurinol in people with Diabetes Mellitus and Coronary Artery Disease, run by University Tunis El Manar at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 28 Dec 2017. 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 Tunisia. 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 Sami Kasbaoui, MD (+21622560059, kas.sami77@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Endothelium-dependent vasodilation (time frame: 2 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 28 Dec 2017.
