About this study

Official title: Intensive Blood Pressure and LDL Lowering for Better Survival and Cardiovascular Outcome in Diabetic Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine whether intensive blood pressure and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol lowering could improve survival and cardiovascular outcome in Japanese diabetic patients with coronary artery disease and history of acute coronary syndrome.

Read the detailed description

Prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Asia seems to be almost epidemic and establishment of preventive strategy against macrovascular as well as microvascular diseases are warranted because of higher cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients even without history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Benefit of lowering low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol down to 70 mg/ml in Caucasian patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) has been well established but not in Asian patients with lower risk of myocardial infarction and higher stroke risk. Intensive lowering blood pressure for cardiovascular outcome in diabetic patients and patients with CAD has been recommended in several guidelines without firm evidence. Risk and benefit of intensive blood pressure and LDL control should be evaluated in Japanese diabetic CAD patients by pragmatic randomized controlled trial.

What participants receive

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

  • intensive controlOther

    use any medication to achieve systolic blood pressure less than 120mmHg and LDL cholesterol within 70-85mg/dl

  • standard controlOther

    use any medication to achieve systolic blood pressure less than 130mmHg and LDL cholesterol less than 100mg/dl

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study of Type 2 Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Takeshi Morimoto at 2 sites in Japan.

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 6 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 14 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Japan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

composite endpoint (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Jun 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
