About this study

Identify circulating protein-coding (mRNAs) or non-coding (ncRNAs) transcripts (ACS_signature) predictive of ventricular dysfunction in ACS patients undergoing PCI.

Read the detailed description

Perform an observational, prospective study involving the evaluation of circulating biomarkers predictive of ventricular dysfunction (FE <45%) in patients with ACS.

In particular, will be to verify whether there are circulating transcripts in peripheral blood, coding or not for proteins (mRNAs or ncRNAs), modulated differently in patients with ACS (ACS_signature) undergoing PCI, distinguished on the basis of evolution towards ventricular dysfunction. The study will be based on whole genome transcriptomic analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. identify circulating transcripts codifying and not for mRNA proteins, predictive of ventricular dysfunction in patients with acute coronary artery syndrome treated with coronary angioplasty.

    For discovery activities using RNA-sequencing, based on literature data, we assume a sample size of 40 patients (20 per group) that will allow to evaluate the 40 transcripts that differentiate patients with ventricular dysfunction and not ventricular dysfunction, out of a total of 17,500 tests, with a power of 94.0 %, an FDR value of 0.02. For qPCR validation activities, a power of 95% is obtained by analyzing 50 samples per group by evaluating differences between the averages of 2,2 times, with α= 0,01 and σ= 1,4.

    Measured: 1 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate the association of the ACS_signature with possible adverse events at 12 months and its prognostic ability in the prediction of adverse events additional to the use of standard clinical parameters.

    Adverse events are defined: death from cardiovascular causes, re infarction, non-fatal stroke, new coronary revascularization, arrhythmias, development of heart failure and new hospitalizations for cardiovascular causes

    Measured: 1 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Syndrome, run by IRCCS Policlinico S. Donato at 1 site in Italy.

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 4 inclusion and 20 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 6 Oct 2023. 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 Italy. 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 Luca Testa (0252774987, luca.testa@grupposandonato.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

identify circulating transcripts codifying and not for mRNA proteins, predictive of ventricular dysfunction in patients with acute coronary artery syndrome treated with coronary angioplasty. (time frame: 1 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 6 Oct 2023.
