Overview

Atherosclerosis (deposition of a plaque essentially composed of lipids on the artery walls) is a frequent condition and is a leading cause of death worldwide. In addition to the long-established risk factors such as age, hypertension, diabetes or sedentary lifestyle, it has been demonstrated that immune cells can participate in the genesis of atherosclerotic plaques through metabolic and mitochondrial reprogramming.

A non-invasive marker of this immune reprogramming has yet to be identified. Through the comparison of a group of atheromatous patients and a group of non-atheromatous patients, this study aims to evaluate this reprogramming phenomenon using a novel non-invasive method.

This monocentric interventional study will take place at the Dijon Bourgogne University Hospital and will include 50 patients divided into 2 groups: "atheromatous coronary patients" and "non-atheromatous patients". The duration of participation in this study is 1 month. This study is based on usually performed procedures. Only blood samples will be taken on a catheter usually used during any cardiac surgery in addition to the medical care that is provided during hospitalization.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
