About this study

Official title: Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk in Digital Osteoarthritis: A Case-control Study.

The goal of this cross-sectional case control study is to investigate the cardiovascular risk in digital osteoarthritis. This study aims to compare the cardiovascular risk between group of patients with digital osteoarthritis and control group of patients with non-osteoarthritis disease paired by measurement of carotid intima-media thickness. All participants will undergo an ultrasound scan to measure carotid intima media thickness, a clinical assessment with the rheumatologist and a cardiovascular risk assessment.

Being tested
Intima media thickness ultrasound, hand ultrasound, EndoPAT™ 2000 system, X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)
Medical subject headings
Low Back Pain, Osteoporosis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intima media thickness ultrasoundOther

    EIM is a non-invasive ultrasound technique in which an ultrasound-generating probe is conventionally placed opposite the right primary carotid artery. By distinguishing between an inner layer, consisting of the intima and media, and the outer layer, the adventitia, the intima-media thickness can be assessed.

  • hand ultrasoundOther

    Performed by the rheumatologist, to quantify the number of synovial thickenings in B mode and the number of synovitis in Doppler mode. The presence or absence of joint erosions on the metacarpophalangeal (MCP), proximal interphalangeal (PPI) or distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints.

  • EndoPAT™ 2000 systemOther

    It's a measurement that detects endothelial dysfunction in coronary arteries using reactive hyperemia.This examination will be carried out in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions by the Rheumatology Department nurse. The patient lies down for the duration of the examination (20 minutes). A probe is placed on the index finger of each hand and a cuff on the left arm. Recording begins with a 5-minute baseline period (at rest), followed by a 5-minute period of arm occlusion, and ends with a 5-minute period of return to normal.

  • X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)Other

    This X-ray examination will be carried out on the Hologic device and the analyses by APEX 4.0 software. Two-photon X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a method commonly used to measure bone mineral density. It is based on a scan of the body by an X-ray beam at 2 different energy levels, which enables 3 compartments to be individualized: mineral mass, lean mass and fat mass. This low-radiation method (less than a conventional chest X-ray) is regarded as a benchmark for accurate measurement of both bone mineral density and the various body compartments. The examination lasts 10 minutes and is carried out by the department's electroradiology manipulators

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurement of carotid intima-media thickness

    EIM is a non-invasive ultrasound technique in which an ultrasound-generating probe is conventionally placed opposite the right primitive carotid artery. By distinguishing between an inner layer, consisting of the intima and media, and the outer layer, the adventitia, the intima-media thickness can be assessed.

    Measured: 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Cardiovascular risk assessment by SCORE scale

    The SCORE scale measures the percent risk of a fatal cardiovascular event at 10 years due to arteriosclerosis.

    Measured: 10 minutes

  2. Identify endothelial dysfunction in coronary arteries by reactive hyperemia index score

    The EndoPAT™ 2000 device (Itamar medical) is an examination to detect endothelial dysfunction in coronary arteries using reactive hyperemia: Normal EndoScore™: RHI > 1.67; Abnormal EndoScore™: RHI ≤ 1.67 .

    Measured: 15 minutes

  3. Measurement of bone mineral density and body mass composition by DXA

    Two-photon X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a method commonly used to measure bone density. The examination distinguishes between 3 measurements: mineral mass, lean mass and fat mass.

    Measured: 15 minutes

  4. Physical performance assessment by measuring the distance covered in metres in 6 minutes over a 30-metre course

    Patients walk in a rhythmic sequence for 6 minutes on a 30-metre distance,this assesses the muscular strength of the lower limbs and enables you to judge your physical level

    Measured: 6 minutes

It's a cross-sectional case-control study. The study will include patients with digital osteoarthritis as case group and patients with lumbago and osteoporosis without a inflammatory arthritis as control group.Imaging exams will be added for research purposes, and are not part of routine care or diagnosis of these conditions: intima-media thickness, arterial compliance and arterial composition; these tests involve minimal risk.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intima media thickness ultrasound, hand ultrasound and EndoPAT™ 2000 system in people with Osteoarthritis Hand and Lumbago, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 1 site in France.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2024. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lise Laclautre (334.73.754.963, promo_interne_drci@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measurement of carotid intima-media thickness (time frame: 20 minutes). 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 3 Apr 2024.
