Trial summary

The role of micro-RNAs in chronic periodontitis associated with CAD is still in an incipient stage needs to be explored further. The investigators attempt to quantify and compare the levels of micro-RNA 146a and micro-RNA 126 in subgingival as well as coronary plaque samples obtained from patients diagnosed with… Read more about this study

About this study

The role of micro-RNAs in chronic periodontitis associated with CAD is still in an incipient stage needs to be explored further. The investigators attempt to quantify and compare the levels of micro-RNA 146a and micro-RNA 126 in subgingival as well as coronary plaque samples obtained from patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis with and without coronary artery disease.

The role of micro-RNAs in chronic periodontitis associated with CAD is still in an incipient stage needs to be explored further. The investigators attempt to quantify and compare the levels of micro-RNA 146a and micro-RNA 126 in subgingival as well as coronary plaque samples obtained from patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis with and without coronary artery disease.

Seventy-five participants were selected and grouped into 3 categories; 25 patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis and coronary artery disease: CP + CAD group; 25 patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis alone: CP group; and 25 systemically and periodontally healthy controls (HP). Demographic variables, periodontal parameters, cardiac parameters, blood pressure were obtained. miRNA-146a and miRNA126 levels were assessed in subgingival plaque (SP) samples from all the three groups. Within CP+CAD group, SP samples of CP+CADa were compared with coronary plaques samples (CP) of CP+CADb while the patient underwent CABG.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT04583085
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CP + CHD groupThis was further divided into CP + CHDa (Subgingival plaque) and CP + CHDb (Coronary plaque) based on the nature of plaque collected.
CP group25 patients with chronic periodontitis who were systemically healthy were selected
HP group25 patients who were systemically and periodontally healthy, were considered as HP group.

What is being measured

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

  1. micro-RNA 146-a expression in Chronic periodontitis patients with and without coronary heart disease.

    microRNA 146-a expression was present in the chronic periodontitis subjects with coronary heart disease

    Measured: 10 months

  2. Levels of micro-RNA 126 in chronic periodontitis patients with and without coronary heart disease

    microRNA 126 expression was present in chronic periodontitis subjects with coronary heart disease

    Measured: 10 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic 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 3 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 14 Oct 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?

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: 10 months). 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 14 Oct 2020.
