Trial summary

The aim was the comparison of the perioperative time courses of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and its inhibitor (TIMP-1) during elective carotid artery stenting (CAS). The investigators used a matched, historical carotid endarteriectomy group as controls. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Perioperative Time Course of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and Its Inhibitor (TIMP-1) During Carotid Artery Stenting (CAS) and Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA)

The aim was the comparison of the perioperative time courses of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and its inhibitor (TIMP-1) during elective carotid artery stenting (CAS). The investigators used a matched, historical carotid endarteriectomy group as controls. Blood samples at four time points: T1: preoperative; T2: 60 minutes after stent insertion; T3: first postoperative morning; and T4: third postoperative morning. Plasma was isolated from heparin anticoagulated blood samples by low speed centrifugation at 4 °C, and stored at -80 °C until analyzed in a single batch at the end of the study. Plasma concentrations of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were expressed as ng/ml.

What participants receive

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

  • Carotid artery stentingProcedure or surgery

    Patient undergo elective carotid artery stenting. In this patient group blood sampling was performed at three time points: T1, at the time of the insertion of the arterial line; T2, 60 min after stent insertion; and T3: the first postoperative morning.

  • Carotid endarterectomyProcedure or surgery

    Patient undergo elective carotid endarterectomy. Group samples were collected at the following four time points: T1, at the time of the insertion of the arterial line; T2, 60 min after cross-clamp release; T3, the first postoperative morning; and T4, the third postoperative morning. A matched subgroup of patients from the previously obtained data served as a historical control.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma MMP-9 concentrations

    Plasma is isolated from heparin-anticoagulated blood samples by low speed centrifugation at 4 °C. MMP-9 levels were measured with quantitative sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

    Measured: 4 days

  2. Plasma TIMP-1 concentrations

    Plasma is isolated from heparin-anticoagulated blood samples by low speed centrifugation at 4 °C. TIMP-1 levels were measured with quantitative sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

    Measured: 4 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio

    MMP-9/TIMP-1 is calculated from the measured plasma MMP-9 and TIMP-1 concentrations

    Measured: 4 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carotid Stenosis and Ischemia Reperfusion Injury, run by University of Pecs at 1 site in Hungary.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2018. 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 Hungary. 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?

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?

Plasma MMP-9 concentrations (time frame: 4 days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03410576, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 25 Jan 2018.
