About this study

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by computed tomography (CT) scan and coronary artery disease (CAD) measured by the calcium (CAC) score among HIV-infected persons.

Medical subject headings
HIV Infections, Coronary Artery Disease, Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

What is being measured

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

  1. Coronary artery disease (CAD) measured by the CAC score

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. To determine the prevalence of coronary artery disease as determined by computed tomography (CT) of the coronary arteries among HIV patients, and to compare it to data from the general population using normative data from recent publications

    Measured: 1 year

  2. To evaluate predictors for coronary artery disease including demographics, concurrent conditions (e.g., diabetes, hyperlipidemia, tobacco use), and HIV factors such as ARV duration, HIV duration, and lipodystrophy

    Measured: 1 year

  3. To investigate the relationship between inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR), d-dimer, adiponectin levels, future inflammatory markers, and genetic polymorphisms with the presence of coronary disease and NAFLD

    Measured: 1 year

  4. To assess the relationship between increased pericardial fat on CT scan with visceral fat and cardiovascular disease

    Measured: 1 year

  5. To determine if Hounsfield units taken in the heart and aorta estimates hemoglobin levels

    Measured: 1 year

  6. To measure the pulmonary artery size to evaluate for prevalence of asymptomatic pulmonary hypertension among HIV-infected persons

    Measured: 1 year

  7. To describe the outcome of a positive CAC score in terms of follow-up test/procedure results to help describe the clinical significance of elevated scores.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infections and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Mar 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 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Coronary artery disease (CAD) measured by the CAC score (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00889577, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 21 Mar 2023.
