Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a single-center, prospective cohort study. The study is designed to identify novel circulating biomarkers for early prediction of high-risk coronary plaques. Patients diagnosed with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) or non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), with marginal lesions or obstructive lesions in major coronary arteries detected by noninvasive coronary CT angiography (CCTA) or invasive coronary angiography (ICA), will be consecutively enrolled. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), with or without other intracoronary imaging modalities such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), will be performed. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), bioinformatic analysis, and machine learning methods will be performed to characterize plasma proteomic profiles. The cohort will be followed-up every 3 months for 2 years. The association of novel biomarkers with the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) will be examined.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a single-center, prospective cohort study. The study is designed to identify novel circulating biomarkers for early prediction of high-risk plaques. Patients diagnosed with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) or non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), with marginal lesions (diameter stenosis \[DS\] between 40%-69%) or obstructive lesions (DS ≥70% or CT-FFR/FFR \<0.8) in major coronary arteries detected by noninvasive coronary CT angiography (CCTA) or invasive coronary angiography (ICA), will be consecutively enrolled. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), with or without other intracoronary imaging modalities including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), will be performed to precisely measure plaque burden and other geometric parameters.

Under the guidance of OCT, these plaques will be classified into different types (intimal xanthoma, early and late fibroatheroma, thin-cap fibroatheroma \[TCFA\], plaque rupture \[PR\], plaque erosion \[PE\], calcified nodules, healed lesions). If IVUS is additionally performed, total atheroma volume (TAV), percent atheroma volume (PAV), and remodeling index will be calculated. If NIRS is additionally performed, lipid core burden index (LCBI) will be calculated. Integrated analysis will also be performed to investigate the relationship between plaque characteristics obtained from different imaging modalities.

Afterwards, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), bioinformatic analysis, and machine learning methods will be performed to characterize plasma proteomic profiles in patients with different types of coronary atherosclerotic plaques. Differentially expressed proteins will be analyzed to identify novel biomarkers for high-risk plaques.

The cohort will be followed-up every 3 months for 2 years. The association of novel biomarkers with the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) will be examined.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cornary plaque analysis group

Patients with CCS or NSTE-ACS, who have marginal or obstructive lesions (DS 40% - 90%) detected by CCTA or ICA, will be consecutively enrolled. OCT, with or without other intracoronary imaging modalities including IVUS and NIRS, will be performed to classify plaque types and precisely measure plaque burden and other geometric parameters. Plasma samples will be collected on the day of angiography in all patients after overnight fasting.
