About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of febuxostat on coronary plaque volume in patients with chronic stable angina and hyperuricemia.

Read the detailed description

Patients with stable angina and hyperuricemia who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) are enrolled. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups.

Febuxostat group and A lifestyle modification group. At 8-12 months, routine follow up angiography and IVUS interrogation as well as endothelial function and several bio markers will be assessed.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • FebuxostatDrug

    The starting dose of the febuxostat will be 10mg /day. The dose will be increased to 20 mg/day at week 4 and finally titrated to 40 mg/day at week 8.

What is being measured

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

  1. The percent changes in coronary plaque volume obtained by IVUS from baseline to follow up

    Measured: 8-12 months

  2. The percent changes in integrated backscatter signal obtained by integrated backscatter IVUS from baseline to follow up

    Measured: 8-12

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. absolute changes of coronary plaque volume by IVUS from baseline to follow up

    Measured: 8-12 months

  2. absolute and percent changes in minimal lumen diameter and percent stenosis by QCA from baseline to follow up

    Measured: 8-12 months

  3. changes in plaque characteristics assessed by IVUS from baseline to follow up

    Measured: 8-12 months

  4. changes in serum uremic values and inflammatory markers from baseline to follow up

    Measured: 8-12 months

  5. prognosis(death, ACS, restenosis)

    Measured: 8-12 months

  6. nominal changes in plaque burden assessed by IVUS from baseline to follow up

    Measured: 8-12 months

  7. nominal changes in plaque burden adjusting for analyzed length assessed by IVUS from baseline to follow up

    Measured: 8-12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Febuxostat in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Yokohama City University Medical Center at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2017. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Entry were insufficient as expected.). 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?

The percent changes in coronary plaque volume obtained by IVUS from baseline to follow up (time frame: 8-12 months). 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 3 Aug 2017.
