The Precision CAD Trial (NCT04755413)

Use of Biomarker Risk Score to Optimize Therapy in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: The Precision CAD Trial

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Emory University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

People with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) have narrow or blocked arteries that supply blood to the heart. Reduced blood flow to the heart muscle from CAD can cause chest pain or aching, especially with exercise or activity. CAD can lead to weakening of the heart muscle or heart failure, and a higher risk of heart attack or death. Certain proteins in the blood, known as biomarkers, can be found in people with CAD. Higher levels of these biomarkers are associated with a greater risk of complications from CAD. The purpose of this study is to see if a customized treatment based on biomarkers will reduce the biomarker levels and lead to lower risk of complications from CAD.
