About this study

Official title: Inflammatory Activity in Various Compartments of Adipose Tissue in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease

The aims of the present project are to study possible differences in inflammatory gene expression and protein secretion in various compartments of adipose tissue being exposed during open cardiac surgery in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.

Read the detailed description

The present study is observational with biochemical end-points to disclose inflammatory mechanisms in various compartments of adipose tissue in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) compared to patients without significant CHD. Fifty patients with CHD undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery with open chest procedure will be included and 20 patients with valve disease without overt CHD undergoing open valve surgery will serve as a control group. No specific restrictions to inclusion other than lack of consent to participate after written and oral information are listed. In patients undergoing open heart surgery for CHD, representative peri-operative biopsies from epicardial, pericardial and subcutaneous fat will be gathered, carefully processed and deep-frozen to 80 degrees of frost for later analyses on histological/cellular components and on messenger ribonucleic acid for selected inflammatory variables. Simultaneously, blood samples (arterial blood at start of operation) will be collected, processed and deep-frozen at 80 degrees of frost for later analyses of relevant circulating inflammatory variables to correlation analyses with tissue samples, possibly also PaxGene tubes for messenger ribonucleic acid in circulating leukocytes.

The study will be conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki, and in accordance with approval from the Regional Ethics Committee.

What is being measured

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

  1. Inflammasome-related proteins

    Inflammasome-related proteins (IL-18, IL-1b, NLRP3, Caspase, TLR4, IL-6, IL-6R, gp130), markers of remodeling (i.e. MMP-9, TIMP-1, PAI-1, Galectin, EMMPRIN), adipokines (i.e adiponectin, visfatin), other relevant pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines (like TNF-alpha, IL-8, IL-12, IFN-gamma, MCP-1, IL-4, IL-10, TGF beta.) Relevant laboratory methods; qPCR (mRNA - all compartments + PAXGenetubes (leukocytes); Immunohistochemically; Circulating (where possible) (ELISAs and/or Multiplex). Results will be recorded in a database for further statistical analyses.

    Measured: At inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Heart Disease, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2021. 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 Norway. 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?

Inflammasome-related proteins (time frame: At inclusion). 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 NCT02760914, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Feb 2021.
