Impact of Time Restricted Eating on Patients With Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Undergoing Cardiac Rehabilitation
A study testing ICR (Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation) and ICR x TRE (Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation x Time-Restricted Eating) in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of California, San Diego at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to see if reducing the number of hours during which one eats each day will help reduce levels of LDL cholesterol and improve other markers of metabolic and cardiovascular health (i.e. blood sugar levels and blood pressure). Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Impact of Time Restricted Eating on Exercise Capacity, Cardiometabolic Parameters, and Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) Levels in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Undergoing Cardiac Rehabilitation
The purpose of this study is to see if reducing the number of hours during which one eats each day will help reduce levels of LDL cholesterol and improve other markers of metabolic and cardiovascular health (i.e. blood sugar levels and blood pressure). The study also aims to assess changes in exercise capacity and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) levels in response to Time Restricted Eating (TRE) and Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation (ICR) versus ICR alone. TMAO is a metabolite, or a substance, produced during digestion and metabolism. Preliminary data illustrates a correlation between high levels of TMAO and higher risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. We will also be looking at participants' long-term cardiovascular health status after they complete the ICR program.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ICR (Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation)Behavioural
Participants in this arm will not have to adopt a 10-hour eating window while taking part in UCSD's 9-week ICR program.
ICR x TRE (Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation x Time-Restricted Eating)Behavioural
Participants in this arm will adhere to a daily, consistent 10-hour eating window while undergoing UCSD's 9-week ICR program to see if there is an improvement on cardiometabolic parameters.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| ICR (Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation) | Placebo comparator | 20 patients will be randomly assigned to the standard of care group, which will receive the standard health and nutritional wellness guidelines that are required of UCSD's 9-week ICR program, referred to as the "ICR" group. Receives: Behavioral: ICR (Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation) |
| ICR x TRE (Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation x Time-Restricted Eating) | Experimental | 20 patients will be randomly assigned to the Time-Restricted Eating (TRE) group which will be asked to limit the number of hours they eat in a day to 10 hours in addition to receiving the standard of care health and nutritional wellness guidelines that are required of UCSD's 9-week ICR program, referred to as the "ICR x TRE" group. Receives: Behavioral: ICR x TRE (Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation x Time-Restricted Eating) |

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 26 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 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
Change in Exercise Capacity (MetS) (time frame: Baseline and Week 1-9). 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 20 Aug 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
