Efficacy Study of Hydroxychloroquine to Treat High-risk Coronary Artery Disease.

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02874287
Lead Sponsor
First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether treated with hydroxychloroquine could improve therapeutic effect for patients with high-risk coronary artery disease.

Detailed Description

This double blind, placebo, randomized controlled trial is going to assess if hydroxychloroquine could improve the high sensitivity C-reaction protein, blood lipid, blood glucose and blood pressure, also whether hydroxychloroquine could affect the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and the M1/M2 phenotype polarization of macrophages in patients with high-risk coronary artery disease.
