From the registry’s dates

  • Primary completion was expected by Oct 2025, 1 year 1 month ago, but the record still lists the study as recruiting.
  • Started Oct 2023; still recruiting 3 years later.

Study summary

The project aims to shed light on the role of Sirtuins, enzymes belonging to the third class of histone deacetylases (class III) involved in epigenetic modifications (deacetylation), focusing mainly on Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), as a regulator of atherosclerosis and severe aortic valve stenosis through molecular-based and epigenetic studies in human VSMC cells.

Study population

The study plans to recruit 100 patients admitted to AOU Federico II Cardiac Surgery in Naples subject to surgical procedure with atherosclerosis and calcific aortic stenosis with and without diabetes over a 36-month period. Patients without atherosclerosis or aortic valve stenosis will be considered as a control population and where possible included in a statistical design paired for age and sex with the study population

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with atherosclerosis or calcific aortic stenosis with and without diabetes older than 18 years of either sex;
  • Patients without atherosclerosis undergoing surgical procedure for endocarditis;
  • Patients who will have signed

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients for whom biological material cannot be recovered for study purposes;
  • Patients who refuse to participate in the study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To evaluate by analysis of data obtained from NGS techniques whether and which proteins belonging to the Sirtuin family may be deregulated in patients with atherosclerosis or calcific aortic stenosis

    Time frame: 36 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. To evaluate the experimental results achieved in the clinical-diagnostic context

    Time frame: 36 months

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Oct 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2025, 24 months after the start.

Of 144 non-industry observational studies under Atherosclerosis, half reached primary completion within 84 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 34 and three quarters within 158. This study's planned 24 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 169 studies reached it within 62 months; a quarter within 31 and three quarters within 153.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 11, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
