About this study

Official title: Relationship Between Heme Oxygenase 1 Enzyme Level and SYNTAX Score in Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease

Aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between heme oxygenase-1 enzyme level and angiographically determined SYNTAX score in patients with suspected stable coronary artery disease. Consecutive patients who are deemed to undergo coronary angiography due to high pre test probability or evidence of cardiac ischemia in imaging studies will be included in the study. Patients with coronary artery bypass surgery history and severe comorbid illnesses such as active malignancy, chronic obstructive lung disease, stage 3-5 chronic renal failure will be excluded. Serum heme oxygenase levels will be measured by ELISA method and SYNTAX score will be calculated from coronary angiography.

Read the detailed description

Heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) is an enzyme found throughout the body with highest concentrations in tissues of reticuloendothelial system. It degrades heme to biliverdin and produces ferrous iron and carbon monoxide. It is an inducible anti oxidant enzyme production of which increases during high levels of oxidative stress. Synthesis of HO-1 is regulated mainly on transcriptional level.

Coronary artery disease is characterized by high oxidative stress levels. Initiation of atherosclerosis as well as progression and vulnerable plaque formation are shown to be linked to oxidation-anti oxidation imbalance.

Several studies showed a correlation between heme oxygenase-1 level, activity and coronary artery disease. Measuring heme oxygenase-1 activity from peripheral blood samples is technically challenging. Bilirubin levels are used as a marker of heme oxygenase activity and are showed to be related to coronary artery disease. As previously mentioned HO-1 is an inducible enzyme so the increased levels reveal a high oxidative stress situation. High levels of serum HO-1 are found also in other clinical settings such as interstitial pneumonia, malignancies, acute kidney injury.

Burden of coronary artery disease is highly correlated with adverse prognosis in patients with stable coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndrome. SYNTAX score is a well established tool to determine the extent of coronary artery disease. Severity and location of coronary stenoses as well as calcification and morphology are considered in SYNTAX score. Clinical SYNTAX score also incorporates clinical characteristics of patients including age, creatinine clearance, diabetes etc. High SYNTAX score is associated with increased total and cardiovascular mortality.

The aim of this study is to investigate serum heme oxygenase-1 level and SYNTAX score in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. Patients will be recruited from a single center consecutively. Blood samples will be drawn before coronary angiography. SYNTAX score will be calculated for each patient. Demographical and clinical characteristics of patients will also be recorded. Patients without coronary artery disease will be used as control group. Primary outcome measure will be to determine the relationship between HO-1 levels and SYNTAX score.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relationship between serum heme oxygenase-1 enzyme level and SYNTAX score

    Correlation between serum heme oxygenase levels (in pg/ml) and angiographically determined SYNTAX scores (no unit) will be determined statistically.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Oxidative Stress, run by Yeditepe University Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 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 22 Jun 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Relationship between serum heme oxygenase-1 enzyme level and SYNTAX score (time frame: 3 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 22 Jun 2020.
