  • Ages 20 to 85 years

  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This study population consist of the consecutive patients who have undergone coronary-artery OCT. the investigators performed OCT for these reasons: (1) planned follow-up coronary angiography and OCT as routine stent follow-up or due to other study protocols, regardless of symptoms; (2) evidence of myocardial ischemia, such as silent myocardial ischemia, stable angina, or acute coronary syndrome; or (3) planned follow-up angiography for other stent segments. Exclusion criteria for OCT were (1) anatomically unsuitable target artery for OCT, according to previously described criteria; (2) apparent congestive heart failure; (3) renal insufficiency with baseline creatinine level of ≥2.0 mg/dL except for under hemodialysis; or (4) no written informed consent from the patient.

Who may be able to join

  • Clinical diagnosis of coronary artery disease
  • Patients who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention
  • Patients who had been treated with bare-metal stents, drug-eluting stents
  • Patients who had successfully undergone follow-up OCT for the target stents >6 months after stenting.

Who cannot join

  • The stent was implanted in the left main trunk
  • OCT images were of insufficient quality

About this study

Official title: Relation Among Cholesterol Uptake Capacity Which Measure HDL Functionality, Neoatherosclerosis and Target Lesion Revascularization After Stent Implantation

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relation among cholesterol uptake capacity which measure HDL functionality, neoathrosclerosis and target-lesion revascularization.

Read the detailed description

Intracoronary stent implantation has markedly reduced the incidence of restenosis in patients with coronary artery disease. However, in-stent restenosis requiring target-lesion revascularization (TLR) occurs even with the use of drug-eluting stents. Emerging evidence suggests that among various potential risk factors, atherogenic progression within the neointima, "neoatherosclerosis" is one of the major contributors to TLR, and that patients' lipid profile is one of the key risk factors for the development of neoatherosclerosis.

Conversely, recent animal and human studies have demonstrated the importance of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality, rather than of HDL-cholesterol levels, in the development of de novo coronary artery disease. Cholesterol efflux capacity, a measure of the ability of HDL to promote cholesterol removal from lipid-laden macrophages, was found to be inversely correlated with the incidence of cardiovascular events and was shown to improve cardiovascular risk prediction beyond that with the use of traditional coronary risk factors. Therefore, the investigators hypothesized that the HDL function of promoting cholesterol removal from lipid-laden macrophages could be associated with TLR through its effect on the process of neoatherosclerosis progression within stents.

Recently, the investigators developed a rapid cell-free assay system to directly evaluate the capacity of HDL to accept additional cholesterol; the measurement of this cholesterol uptake capacity (CUC) enables HDL functionality to be readily evaluated in our daily practice. Thus, the investigators performed this study in order to clarify the potential relationship among CUC, neoatherosclerosis, and TLR by using the novel cell-free assay system, CUC measurement, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) analysis.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Identified neoatherosclerosis groupFrom the patients treated with coronary stents, the investigators functionally evaluated their HDL by measuring the CUC. the investigators also performed follow-up OCT to evaluate the presence of neoatherosclerosis. Consecutive patients were divided into two groups. The patients with neoatherosclerosis were identified neoatherosclerosis group and the remaining were not-identified neoatherosclerosis group. After that, clinical follow-up was performed to assess TLR and the investigators examined the relation between CUC, neoatherosclerosis and TLR.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cholesterol Uptake Capacity (CUC)

    CUC is a new rapid cell-free assay system to evaluate the functional capacity of HDL to accept additional cholesterol

    Measured: an average of a year and a half

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease Progression, run by Kobe University at 1 site in Japan.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 30 May 2018. 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 Japan. 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?

Cholesterol Uptake Capacity (CUC) (time frame: an average of a year and a half). 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 30 May 2018.
