About this study

Official title: Prediction of Atherosclerotic Plaque Progression in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

To predict coronary atherosclerosis progression in patients with acute coronary syndrome by the use of intracoronary imaging methods.

To investigate the ability of NIRS to detect vulnerable plaque characterized by the presence of OCT-defined TCFA To study the influence of gene polymorphisms (in genes playing role in vessel dilatation) on the progression of coronary atherosclerosis and clinical outcomes

Read the detailed description

The fundamental aim of this study is to investigate the ability of intracoronary imaging to predict progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome. In patients who are indicated for acute coronary angiography and have at least one non-culprit lesion (not indicated for revascularization) identical segment of non-culprit vessel will be analysed and several parameters will be detected by OCT (optical coherence tomography) and NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy) including the presence of TCFA (thin-cap fibroatheroma) and plaque lipid content quantified by LCBI (lipid core burden index). During follow up visits (1Y, 2Y, 5Y and 10Y) major cardiovascular events will be monitored and the progression of coronary involvement will be estimated at 1Y and 2Y by CCTA (coronary computed angiography).

The second part of the trial is to investigate the ability of NIRS to detect vulnerable plaque characterized by the presence of OCT-defined TCFA.

A further target is to study the influence of gene polymorphisms (in genes playing a role in vessel dilatation) on the progression of coronary atherosclerosis and clinical outcomes. Patient DNA will be isolated from peripheral blood leucocytes, and polymorphisms in genes for Hemoxygenase-1 and endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase will be analysed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prediction of coronary atherosclerosis progression

    Prediction of coronary atherosclerosis progression (assesed by computed tomography, CT) in patients with acute coronary syndrome by the use of intracoronary imaging methods (OCT and NIRS)

    Measured: Two years from the date of cardiac catheterization

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Detection of vulnerable coronary atherosclerotic plaques by NIRS and OCT

    Subjects are presenting for their clinically-indicated cardiac catheterization and NIRS and OCT imaging are performed at the time of this catheterization).

    NIRS is used for the quantification of plaque lipid content using the 4mm region of the vessel with the highest lipid core burden index (LCBI) and thus, the highest lipid content (maxLCBI4mm). OCT is used for the measuring of the thickness of plaque fibrous cap and thus, the presence of thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA).

    Measured: Measured once at the time of cardiac catheterization.

  2. Presence of gene polymorphisms

    Presence of gene polymorphisms in genes for Hemoxygenase-1 ane Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase by genetic analysis of patient DNA isolated from periferal blood leukocytes.

    Measured: Analyzed once at the time of cardiac catheterization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Na Homolce Hospital at 1 site in Czechia.

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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 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 Czechia. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Prediction of coronary atherosclerosis progression (time frame: Two years from the date of cardiac catheterization). 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 21 Jun 2022.
