Trial summary

Cardiac ischemia is a common pathological condition, known to elicit multiple pathological processes at the cellular level. One of the most affected is thought to be cellular metabolism, key for the adequate cardiac function. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pathophysiological Mechanisms Elicited by Ischemia and Metabolic Co-morbidities in Myocardium of Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Cardiac ischemia is a common pathological condition, known to elicit multiple pathological processes at the cellular level. One of the most affected is thought to be cellular metabolism, key for the adequate cardiac function. The aim is to study mitochondrial bioenergetic function, interaction with other cellular systems and influence of several co-morbidities in myocardium of the affected patients.

Read the detailed description

Coronary artery disease, one of the most common pathologies in the developed world, causes hypoperfusion of myocardial tissue, usually evident by the presence of anginal pain. This myocardial ischemia elicits alterations in normal cardiomyocyte physiology, which gradually deteriorate cellular function, affecting the performance of the entire organ. The condition is frequently further complicated (and aggravated) by the presence of various co-morbidities, such as diabetes mellitus. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the cardiomyocyte bioenergetics and the consequences of potentially reduced mitochondrial metabolic function in ischemic heart, and evaluate the potential contribution of other conditions, primarily ones affecting metabolic homeostasis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mitochondrial oxygen consumption (rate of oxygen consumption per milligram of left ventricular tissue)

    Mitochondrial respiration in nmol O2/minute/mg of tissue weight will be measured as an indicator of mitochondrial ATP production capacity, using different metabolic substrates

    Measured: 2016-2020

  2. Myocardial production of reactive oxygen species

    Myocardial production of reactive oxygen species will be measured using electron paramagnetic resonance and fluorometry

    Measured: 2016-2020

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Anti-cardiolipin antibodies in the blood of patients with symptoms of cardiac ischemia

    Anticardiolipin antibodies assessed in venous blood of patients with angina pectoris undergoing coronary angiography

    Measured: 2016-2020

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Split, School of Medicine at 1 site in Croatia.

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 3 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 19 Jun 2020. 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 Croatia. 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?

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?

Mitochondrial oxygen consumption (rate of oxygen consumption per milligram of left ventricular tissue) (time frame: 2016-2020). 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 19 Jun 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
