About this study

Official title: Evaluating the Role of IGF-1 and S-Klotho in Plaque Phenotype and Vulnerability: The VISION Study

Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is the primary peripheral mediator of growth hormone (GH) and has pleiotropic effects on development, differentiation, metabolism, and cell survival. Several in vivo and in vitro studies suggest that IGF-1 may have a protective effect on atherosclerosis as it suppresses macrophage recruitment and activation, cytokine production, and extracellular matrix degradation while promoting smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition. The protein sKlotho appears to be closely related to the GH-IGF-1 axis, and some animal and in vitro studies hypothesize its protective role in the cardiovascular system. The GH-IGF-1 axis and sKlotho influence mechanisms determining coronary atherosclerosis. Circulating levels of IGF-1 and sKlotho may correlate with the morphology of atherosclerotic plaques and particularly with the vulnerability of coronary lesions.

Objectives: To evaluate the correlation between atherosclerotic plaque phenotype and the GH-IGF-1 axis and sKlotho in patients with chronic coronary syndrome using intravascular imaging with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).

Methods:All patients with chronic coronary syndrome who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and undergo coronary angiography and intravascular imaging with optical coherence tomography will be included. At the end of the procedure, a blood sample will be taken to measure IGF-1, sKlotho, and GH receptor (GHR) polymorphism.

What participants receive

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

  • Coronary angiography with OCTDiagnostic test

    Intravascular imaging with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in patients with chronic coronary syndrome who have been indicated for coronary angiographic will be used at the operator's discretion, for diagnostic purposes and/or to guide possible coronary artery disease treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between atherosclerotic plaque phenotype and plasma levels of IGF-1 and sKlotho protein and GH receptor (GHR) polymorphism

    To assess the correlation between atherosclerotic plaque phenotype and plasma levels of IGF-1, sKlotho protein, and GH receptor (GHR) gene expression through intravascular imaging with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. correlation between atherosclerotic plaque phenotype and plasma levels of other hormones and inflammation markers

    To assess the correlation between atherosclerotic plaque phenotype and plasma levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (FT3), thyroxine (FT4), cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, testosterone, inflammation markers (interleukin 6, C-reactive protein), vitamin D, and FGF-23 (fibroblast growth factor).

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischemic Heart Disease and Chronic Coronary Syndrome, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS 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 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 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 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?

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?

Correlation between atherosclerotic plaque phenotype and plasma levels of IGF-1 and sKlotho protein and GH receptor (GHR) polymorphism (time frame: 2 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 9 Dec 2024.
