Trial summary

Beta-blockers represent a cornerstone for the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). Their protective effect is based on the negative inotropic and chronotropic features, which have been tested in a large number of randomized controlled trials, both in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and in those with… Read more about this study

About this study

Beta-blockers represent a cornerstone for the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). Their protective effect is based on the negative inotropic and chronotropic features, which have been tested in a large number of randomized controlled trials, both in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and in those with stable angina, demonstrating a reduction of adverse cardiovascular events, a relief of symptoms and a reduction of myocardial ischemia

However, considerable interpatient variability in response to β-blockers has been reported which indicates that a considerable proportion of β-blocker-treated patients do not achieve the warranted cardio protection with β- blockers. This highlights the importance of identifying biomarkers associated with variability in response to β-blockers to improve the current approach for β- blocker selection, which seems to be suboptimal.

This study aims to study the effect of polymorphism in adrenergic beta receptors on beta-blocker response in Egyptian patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adrenergic receptors genes and blood pressure response to beta-blocker

    Investigate the association of the adrenergic receptor polymorphisms with reduction in blood pressure (expressed in units of millimeters of mercury "mmHg" ) in the Egyptian patients with acute coronary syndrome on beta blocker therapy.

    Measured: Three months

  2. Adrenergic receptors genes and heart rate response to beta-blocker

    Investigate the association of the adrenergic receptor polymorphisms with reduction in heart rate (expressed as beats per minute "BPM" ) in the Egyptian patients with acute coronary syndrome on beta blocker therapy.

    Measured: Three months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Hypertension, run by Mohamed Saleh Fayed at 1 site in Egypt.

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 7 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 1 Dec 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

Adrenergic receptors genes and blood pressure response to beta-blocker (time frame: Three months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Dec 2022.
