Trial summary

Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is produced from the metabolism of gut microbiota and is reportedly pro-atherogenic and associated with cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study is to investigate the sequential change in TMAO levels by current optimal secondary prevention therapies in patients with ST-elevation… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Microbiota-derived Trimethylamine N-oxide as Residual Risk After ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction

Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is produced from the metabolism of gut microbiota and is reportedly pro-atherogenic and associated with cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study is to investigate the sequential change in TMAO levels by current optimal secondary prevention therapies in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) and the clinical impact of TMAO levels on the progression of atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiovascular events.

Read the detailed description

This study includes patients with their first STEMI. The investigators measure plasma TMAO levels using the frozen plasma at the onset of STEMI and 10 months later (the chronic phase). To assess plaque progression, residual SYNTAX (Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) score and chronic-phase SYNTAX score are measured. After the chronic-phase assessment of TMAO and SYNTAX score, patients are followed for cardiovascular events including death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and unstable angina pectoris with coronary revascularization.

What is being measured

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

  1. MACE

    death, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and unstable angina pectoris with coronary revascularization

    Measured: 6 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Coronary plaque progression

    the highest tertile of change in SYNTAX (Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Taxus and Cardiac Surgery) score.

    Higher SYNTAX score indicates more complicated coronary plaque. minimum 0, maximum 80.

    Measured: 10 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocardial Infarction, run by Yokohama City University Medical Center.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 5 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

MACE (time frame: 6 years). 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 5 Feb 2018.
