Relevance of Plasma PCSK9 Concentration as a Biomarker in Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Conditions
Acute Coronary Syndrome

Registration Number
NCT01109706
Lead Sponsor
Nantes University Hospital
Brief Summary

PCSK9 (Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9) plays a key role in LDL-cholesterol (LDLC) metabolism by inhibiting LDL receptor (LDLR) at post-transcriptional level. PCSK9 loss of function mutations are associated to decreased LDLC levels and a cardiovascular protection. In this context, the development of pharmacological inhibitors of PCSK9, in association with statins treatment, represents a major therapeutic issue for LDLC modulation. It was previously shown that PCSK9 plasmatic concentration correlated with plasmatic LDLC, TG and glucose concentrations. However, no data are available on predictive value of PCSK9 plasmatic level concerning coronary disease severity.

The main objective of this study is to determine whether plasmatic PCSK9 concentration is linked to coronary damage severity in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Syntax score (for evaluate coronary damages) and plasmatic concentration of PCSK9Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4

Assessing the correlation between plasma concentration of PCSK9 and coronary damage severity in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Coronary lesions will be measured using the SYNTAX score (J0: admission day), and PCSK9 concentration will be evaluated using blood analysis (J0 (admission), J1, J2, J3 \& J4).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
kinetic of PCSK9 after intensive careDay 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4

Determination of PCSK9 kinetic variation at 1 and 6 months after intensive care, during their normal follow-up

association between PCSK9 and metabolic/inflammatory factorsDay 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4

Identification of metabolic and inflammatory factors (glycemia, insulinemia, HbA1C, CRPus...) associated to plasma PCSK9 concentration

kinetic of PCSK9 for statin-treated patientsDay 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4

Measurement of PCSK9 kinetic variation during ACS acute phase in patients treated with artovastatin 80 mg/day (J1, J2, J3, and J4)

Correlation between PCSK9 and morbidity/mortalityDay 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4

Assessing the correlation between plasma PCSK9 (J1, J2, J3, J4) concentration and one-year morbidity/mortality of patients with acute coronary syndrome
