About this study

Official title: Impact of Glycemic Control on Coronary Inflammation Evaluated by Computed Tomography Pericoronary Fat Attenuation Index in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

This study aimed to clarify the relationship between blood glucose control and the FAI based pericoronary inflammation in low-risk ACS patients with or without diabetes. The results of this study are expected to provide evidence that quantitative assessment of pericoronary FAI helps monitor the local inflammatory activation in diabetic patients with poor glycemic control, therefore, pericoronary FAI evaluation, as a noninvasive imaging biomarker, plays an important role in early detecting coronary atherosclerosis risk in diabetes and allow timely providing appropriate risk reduction strategies in patients at high risk for future cardiovascular events.

Read the detailed description

Coronary inflammation has been shown to be a cause of the significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetic patients. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between coronary local inflammation detected by pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) and different blood glucose control levels in low-risk acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with or without diabetes.A total of 309 patients with low-risk ACS were included in the analysis. Patients were classified into three groups: non-diabetes, well-regulated diabetes and poorly regulated diabetes, depend on the presence or absence of diabetes and the glycemic control evaluated based on a target HbA1c value of 7%. Pericoronary FAI around the proximal of left anterior descending artery (LAD), left circumflex artery (LCX), and right coronary artery (RCA) were evaluated by CCTA, while systemic inflammatory variables and other biochemical indicators were detected by flow cytometry. The results of this study are expected to provide evidence that quantitative assessment of pericoronary FAI helps monitor the local inflammatory activation in diabetic patients with poor glycemic control, therefore, pericoronary FAI evaluation, as a noninvasive imaging biomarker, plays an important role in early detecting coronary atherosclerosis risk in diabetes and allow timely providing appropriate risk reduction strategies in patients at high risk for future cardiovascular events.

What is being measured

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

  1. pericoronary Fat attenuation index (FAI)

    The pericoronary FAI was defined as the mean CT attenuation of the pericoronary adipose tissue (-190 to -30 HU).

    Peri-stent FAI was measured around the stent segment of all 3 major epicardial coronary vessels.

    Measured: 2021.1.1-2022.10.31

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Level of hsCRP

    Measured: 2021.1.1-2022.10.31

  2. level of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-2 and IL-6.

    Measured: 2021.1.1-2022.10.31

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammation Vascular, run by RenJi Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 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 21 Oct 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 China. 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?

pericoronary Fat attenuation index (FAI) (time frame: 2021.1.1-2022.10.31). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05590858, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Oct 2022.
