Trial summary

The expression and quantification of Micro-RNA 146-a, was analyzed in the subgingival plaque samples of generalized chronic periodontitis patients with and without coronary heart disease. The demographic variables and periodontal parameters were assessed and correlated with expression of micro-RNA 146-a. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 35 to 65 years

  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All male patients within the age group of 35-65 years. The subjects were from South Indian population.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients willing to participate in the study.
  • Patients within the age group of 35-65 years.
  • Should have ≥ 10 natural teeth.
  • For group I Generalized chronic periodontitis patients with coronary heart disease: Generalised chronic periodontitis is defined as those having 30% or more sites with clinical attachment loss (CAL) ≥ 3mm.
  • For group II Generalized chronic periodontitis patients without coronary heart disease.

  • Smokers and other behavioural factors which may influence the study.
  • Patients who had undergone periodontal therapy within the previous 6 months.
  • Female patients (due to hormonal changes and pregnancy which may alter the oral flora).

About this study

Official title: Quantification of Micro-RNA (miRNA)146-a in Subgingival Plaque Samples of Generalized Chronic Periodontitis Patients With and Without Coronary Heart Disease.

The expression and quantification of Micro-RNA 146-a, was analyzed in the subgingival plaque samples of generalized chronic periodontitis patients with and without coronary heart disease. The demographic variables and periodontal parameters were assessed and correlated with expression of micro-RNA 146-a. The quantification of levels of micro-RNA 146-a was done using Real time Polymerase chain reaction. ( RT-PCR)

Read the detailed description

The quantification of the levels of MicroRNA 146-a was analyzed in subgingival plaque samples of generalized chronic periodontitis subjects with and without coronary heart disease and compared them with the healthy subject.A total of 90 subjects were selected for the study and assigned to 3 groups based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Group I comprised of 30 subjects with Generalized chronic periodontitis diagnosed with coronary heart disease.Group II comprised of 30 subjects with Generalized chronic periodontitis without coronary heart disease and Group III comprised of 30 systemically healthy volunteers with no chronic periodontitis or coronary heart disease. Demographic variables such as age, weight,height,BMI and income and clinical parameters such as plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth and clinical attachement levels were recorded. Subgingival plaque samples were collected from all the 3 groups. The collected samples were subject to further molecular analysis for micro-RNA expression and quantification using RT-PCR.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontal Diseases and Coronary Disease, run by Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital at 1 site in India.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 26 Oct 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 India. 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?

Micro-RNA 146-a expression in Chronic periodontitis patients with and without coronary heart disease (time frame: 9 months). 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 NCT03721159, 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 Oct 2018.
