The Influence of Antiphospholipid Antibodies on the Relationship Between Hyperurecemia, Gout and Metabolic Syndrome
An observational study of Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Endothelial Dysfunction, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.
Trial summary
Patients with hyperuricemia were confirmed to have higher risks of cardiovascular disease, but the exact mechanism remained to be elucidated. Many connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis are often associated with antiphospholipid antibodies-associated endothelial impairment. Read more about this study

About this study
Patients with hyperuricemia were confirmed to have higher risks of cardiovascular disease, but the exact mechanism remained to be elucidated. Many connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis are often associated with antiphospholipid antibodies-associated endothelial impairment. In the present study, the investigators will analyze the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in the serum of the patients with gout/asymptomatic hyperuricemia, with a comparison to the patients of osteoarthritis but without hyperuricemia and gout. The investigators expect to find a correlation between these pathogenic antibody and those cardiovascular co-morbidities.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Patients with hyperuricemia were confirmed to have higher risks of cardiovascular disease, but the exact mechanism remained to be elucidated. Many connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis are often associated with antiphospholipid antibodies-associated endothelial impairment. In the present study, the investigators will analyze the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in the serum of the patients with gout/asymptomatic hyperuricemia, with a comparison to the patients of osteoarthritis but without hyperuricemia and gout. The investigators expect to find a correlation between these pathogenic antibody and those cardiovascular co-morbidities.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Endothelial Dysfunction, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.
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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2014. 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 Taiwan. 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?
Contact Yu-Min Kuo, M.D. (886972655701, 543goole@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
development of metabolic syndrome or cardiovascular events (time frame: 36 months). 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 Apr 2014.
