A Study of Immunological Biomarkers as Predictors of Cardiovascular Events

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Cardiovascular disease linked to atherosclerosis (e.g. infarcts, cerebro-vascular accidents) are one of the main causes of mortality in the general population. The recruitment of macrophages from the walls of the arterial lumen followed by unregulated capture of oxidated LDL (LDLox) leads to the accumulation of cholesterol esters and the formation of foamy cells characteristic of fatty streaks, the first phase of atherogenesis. These fatty streaks are rarely followed by clinical events, but can progress to complicated atheromatoses (calcification, rupture) resulting in the occurrence of various clinical events such as myocardial infarction and cerebro-vascular accidents (CVA). Once oxidated, LDL becomes immunogenic and induces anti-LDLox antibody production that could be markers of progression of atherosclerosis. During LDL oxidation, a multitude of specific oxidative epitopes (SOE) such as oxidated phospholipids (PLox) and malondialdehyde-lysine epitopes (MDA) are generated. In order to measure the level of markers in the blood, researchers developed a series of immunologic levels in vitro, using specific antibodies directed against well-defined epitopes. Recently, it was shown that Lp(a ) would be the preferred transporter of these PLox. In fact, several clinical studies show a strong correlation between PLox/apoB concentrations and Lp(a). This marker (PLox/apoB) predicts future morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular diseases, including CVA, up to 15 years in advance, independent of all other known risk factors. CD36 is a scavenger receptor that recognizes LDLox, but more specifically PLox present in these lipoproteins .One soluble form of inflammatory CD36 (sCD36) was recently identified. In this study, only healthy volunteers were recruited in order to be able to establish normal serum ranges of different immunologic biomarkers.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
