About this study

Official title: The Gut Microbiome and Metabolomics Among Chronic Lower Extremities Threatening Ischemia Patients in China - a Prospective Observational Study

Intestinal floras and their metabolites are involved in progressing metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. However, currently, articles related to the relationship between intestinal floras and atherosclerosis mainly focus on coronary atherosclerotic disease (CAD) population, or atherosclerosis model animals such as ApoE-/-, LDLR-/- high-fat diet mice, and there are few studies on Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). CLTI and CAD have a similar pathological basis of atherosclerosis. It is unclear whether intestinal flora plays an essential role in the occurrence and development of CLTI. This project aims to explore the relation between microorganisms, metabolites, and CLTI.

Read the detailed description

This project aims to study the intestinal flora and its metabolites in patients with CLTI, explore whether CLTI patients and CAD patients have their own characteristic flora, analyze the microorganisms and metabolites markers of poor prognosis in patients with CLTI, and screen out the key differential bacteria and metabolites that inhibit the progress of CLTI, in order to provide new insights and research basis for the treatment of CLTI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Bacteria or metabolites associated with prolonged survival time without above-knee amputation

    The relationship between the prognosis and gut microbiota or plasma metabolomics was analyzed. Spearman correlations between CAGs, serum metabolite modules and clinical parameters were calculated using R, and both differential abundances of CAGs and CLTI-associated metabotypes were tested by the Wilcoxon rank sum test.

    Measured: 3years.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Key bacteria in CLTI

    Differential bacteria enriched in healthy group but absent in CLTI patients were explored by metagenomic analysis of the gut microbiota. It includes species composition and abundance analysis, beta diversity, differences between groups, and RDA/CCA.

    Measured: up to 1 week

  2. Key plasma metabolites in CLTI

    Differential metabolites enriched in healthy group but absent in CLTI patients were explored by non-targeted metabolomics analysis of the gut contents. It includes sample grouping data analysis, metabolites annotation, and screening of differential metabolites.

    Measured: up to 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Limb-threatening Ischemia and Microtia, run by Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 24 Jan 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Bacteria or metabolites associated with prolonged survival time without above-knee amputation (time frame: 3years.). 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 24 Jan 2024.
