The Long Term Effect of Low Dose Aspirin on Uric Acid in Chinese Patients With Coronary Artery Disease（AURORA） (AURORA)

November 27, 2018 updated by: Junbo Ge, Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital

The Long Term Effect of Low Dose Aspirin on Uric Acid in Chinese Patients With Coronary Artery Disease（AURORA): A Prospective Cohort Study

The deleterious effects of hyperuricemia (HUA) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) were well established. Aspirin is the most commonly prescribed antiplatelet agent for primary or secondary prophylaxis of CVD. Only a few short-term studies in the elderly suggested low-dose aspirin, e.g., 75-100 mg/day, increases serum urate by reducing urinary uric acid excretion. However, monitoring of renal function is currently not recommended. Little is known about the long-term effect of low dose aspirin on uric acid. The principal aim of this prospective cohort study therefore is to evaluate the renal effects of long-term aspirin (100 mg/d) administration in Chinese patients with coronary artery disease or other CVDs.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Unknown

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Study Population

Study population consists of angiographically diagnosised CAD patients with or without PCI, and patients without CAD who needs antiplatlet therapy for prophylaxis of ASCVD.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent (Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Intervention) PCI therapy, documenting angiographically at least one vessel stenosis ≥50% among major coronary arteries (left main, left anterior descending, left circumflex or right coronary artery) , manifesting clinically as latent CAD, stable CAD, unstable CAD, and acute myocardial infarction.
  2. Patients with CAD without PCI therapy. They document angiographically at least one vessel stenosis ≥50% among major coronary arteries (left main, left anterior descending, left circumflex or right coronary artery) , and classified clinically as latent CAD, stable CAD, unstable CAD.
  3. Patients without CAD who needs antiplatelet therapy for prophylaxis of ASCVD, documenting angiographically no vessel stenosis ≥50% among any of major coronary arteries (left main, left anterior descending, left circumflex or right coronary artery).

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with severe conditions with life expectancy less than 12 months.
  2. Patients with malignant tumor.
  3. Severe Kidney disease: patients with acute kidney injury, nephritic syndrome, renal replacement therapy, kidney transplant or eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2.
  4. Contraindicated to antiplatelet therapy because of acute bleeding.
  5. Patients who formerly administrated aspirin for at least one week or withdrawal of aspirin less than one month before enrollment.
  6. Patients who formerly administrated UA lowering agents at least one month before enrollment.
  7. Patients who formerly administrated, stopped or titrated doses of any of the following drugs at least one month before enrollment: losartan, irbesartan, fenofibrate, thiazide and loop diuretics.

  8. Patients who administrated ticagrelor as antiplatelet agent one month before enrollment or since then.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
HUA ( serum uric acid level, μmol/L)
Time Frame: 24 months after enrollment
Two different days of fasting uric acid >420 μmol/L and women >360 μmol/L under normal purine diet.
24 months after enrollment
Gout attacks (ACR/EULAR classification criteria 2015)
Time Frame: 24 months after enrollment
Gout attacks are confirmed according to ACR/EULAR classification criteria 2015
24 months after enrollment
Initiation of UA-lowering agents
Time Frame: 24 months after enrollment
Starting febuxostat, allopurinol,or benzbromarone therapy at physicians' descretion
24 months after enrollment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
