About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Demographic Variables, Clinical Parameters, Inflammatory Markers and Viruses in Periodontitis Patients With Coronary Artery Diseases

To assess and compare the demographic variables, periodontal parameters, cardiac parameters and the expression of periodontal viruses (CMV, HSV and EBV) and inflammatory biomarkers(PTX-3, TLR-2 \& TLR-4) in periodontally healthy and generalized periodontitis patients with and without coronary artery disease(CAD).

Read the detailed description

A total of 240 subjects will be recruited based on the power of the study. The selected subjects will be divided into four groups based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

  1. GROUP I: 60 healthy subjects ( No generalised periodontitis and no CAD)
  2. GROUP II: 60 generalised periodontitis subjects without CAD
  3. GROUP III: 60 CAD subjects without generalised periodontitis
  4. GROUP IV: 60 subjects with Generalised periodontitis and CAD

Sub-gingival plaque samples will be collected from the subjects of all the four groups. Coronary artery plaque samples will be collected from the patients who were indicated for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) among group III and group IV.

The demographic variables , periodontal parameters , cardiac parameters , expression of periodontal viruses and inflammatory biomarkers will be measured in all four groups ,

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontitis and Coronary Artery 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 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 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?

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?

Periodontal Virus and Inflammatory Markers expression in periodontitis patients with coronary artery disease (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT04172870, which also lists 4 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 20 Feb 2020.
