Low Cardiovascular Risk Patients clinical trials

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.

Retinal Microvascularization and Cardiovascular Disease

NESTOR

Start date: March 14, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The main objective of this study is to investigate whether there are links between the blood vessels of the retina as a whole and heart and/or vascular diseases (cardiovascular diseases). The arteries and veins of the retina are, like the large vessels of the human body (aorta, coronary, cerebral arteries), exposed to the complications of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia (abnormal blood lipid profile) or tobacco. Several studies have shown that changes in retinal vessels (microvascularization) generally occur several years before damage to large peripheral vessels (macrovascularization). The study of the vessels of the retina is now possible thanks to simple and non-invasive examinations of photographs (not creating any lesion). They allow a painless evaluation of the vessels in the retina. Ultimately, if this study is conclusive, the patient's cardiovascular risk could be evaluated simply by analysis of the vessels of the retina. The study is being conducted in the ophthalmology and cardiology departments of Dijon University Hospital. In total, the investigators wish to include approximately 510 patients who present cardiovascular risk factors (255 low risk patients recruited in the ophthalmology department and 255 high risk patients hospitalized in the cardiology department). All patients participating in the study will be asked to visit the ophthalmology department for a complete examination of the retina.
