About this study

Official title: Early Detection of Coronary Artery Disease by Polygenic and Metabolic Risk Scoring in at Risk Patients: Comparison With Coronary Computed Tomography

The overall goal of this study is to develop a combined polygenic risk score (PRS) and metabolic risk score (MRS) and determine its impact on selecting community members for CCS. The trial component of this study will compare the use of these scores to motivate people to adhere to therapy, an ongoing challenge for clinicians, by providing feedback in a meaningful form to both the clinicians and the patients.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing a polygenic risk score (PRS), metabolic risk score (MRS) and coronary calcium score (CCS) will be randomized to receive PRS and CCS information and followed for the reduction of risk over 12 months. This information will provide information about how to motivate people to adhere to therapy, by providing feedback in a meaningful form to both the clinicians and the patients.

  1. Change in cardiovascular risk in each group

    Change in cardiovascular risk (expressed as pooled cohort equation 10-year risk percentage) from baseline to follow-up

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Medication adherence in each group

    Proportion of lipid-lowering tablets taken

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Polygenic Risk Score and Coronary Calcium Score in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute at 1 site in Australia.

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 4 inclusion and 13 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 22 Aug 2024. 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 Australia. 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?

Change in cardiovascular risk in each group (time frame: 12 months). 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 22 Aug 2024.
