Clinical Trial Summary

The hypothesis is that western lifestyle, with sedentary behaviors and caloric excess promote a chronic, subacute inflammatory state that participates in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. We will evaluate the effects of targeting inflammation using the anti-inflammatory drug salsalate, compared to placebo, on coronary artery plaque volume assessed by multi-detector computed tomographic angiography (MDCTA). The TINSAL-CVD study is a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, 2 arm, clinical trial.

The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of salsalate or placebo on sub-acute inflammation and coronary plaque, in people with cardiovascular disease. Participants are randomized to active intervention (salsalate) or placebo interventions for a period of 30 months. The primary endpoint is change in plaque volume in the coronary arteries assessed by MDCTA from baseline to 30 months.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVE:

To determine whether targeting inflammation using salsalate compared with placebo reduces progression of noncalcified coronary artery plaque.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS:

In the Targeting Inflammation Using Salsalate in Cardiovascular Disease (TINSAL-CVD) trial participants were randomly assigned to 30 months of salsalate or placebo in addition to standard, guideline-based therapies. Randomization was computerized and centrally allocated, with patients, health care professionals, and researchers masked to treatment assignment. Participants were overweight and obese statin-using patients with established, stable coronary heart disease.

INTERVENTIONS:

Salsalate (3.5 g/d) or placebo orally over 30 months.

MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES:

The primary outcome was progression of noncalcified coronary artery plaque assessed by multidetector computed tomographic angiography. Secondary outcomes were other measures of safety and efficacy. ;
