About this study

Official title: Vascular Lab Resource (VLR) Biorepository Study

This is a study of biomarkers obtained from prospectively collected subject samples and their correlation with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. The purpose of this initiative is to develop an enduring tool to allow for collaborative research between clinicians at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus and basic scientists at the Lerner Research Institute. This collaboration will allow resources to be available to clinical and basic researchers alike. This tool will enable research of vascular disease in the Vascular Lab and will leverage this valuable asset to the fullest extent to allow for interdepartmental collaboration.

Read the detailed description

We are proposing a study of biomarkers obtained from prospectively collected subject samples and their correlation with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. The purpose of this initiative is to develop an enduring tool to allow for collaborative research between clinicians at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus and basic scientists at the Lerner Research Institute. This collaboration will allow resources to be available to clinical and basic researchers alike. This tool will enable research of vascular disease in the Vascular Lab and will leverage this valuable asset to the fullest extent to allow for interdepartmental collaboration.

The care of subjects with vascular and metabolic diseases is very fragmentary, and they remain underserved clinically and under-studied. We will capitalize on the highly collaborative clinical environment in HVI and other clinical institutes to develop and constantly utilize a vascular biobank.

This protocol will study blood, urine, and/or stool samples and clinical data from subjects with cardiovascular and/or metabolic diseases including: peripheral artery disease, carotid disease, aneurysmal disease, chronic venous disease, thrombosis, lymphedema and lipedema, non-atherosclerotic arterial stenosis (vasculitis, fibromuscular dysplasia, arterial dissection and aneurysmal disease, May-Thurner Syndrome etc.), compressive and spastic disorders (thoracic outlet syndrome, vasospasm). This initiative will allow for the opportunity to explore pathways of thrombosis, inflammation, gut microbiome, alterations in cell signaling, lipid metabolism and other metabolic pathways in vascular diseases. Further, this study will enhance and expand ongoing efforts in the Vascular Lab to collect data for the purpose of quality control and safety. The specimen sample collection will enable biochemical and genetic testing on participants once sufficient numbers are attained.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Metabolic Disease, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2025. 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 United States. 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?

Contact Scott Cameron, MD, PhD (216-444-1680, cameros3@ccf.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To collect blood, urine, and/or stool samples for biorepository (time frame: 10 years). 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 19 Dec 2025.
