Study of vulnerable plaque in heart arteries of people with diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special camera (OCT and NIRS) inside heart arteries to look for dangerous plaque in people with diabetes. It may help doctors decide the best treatment to prevent heart attacks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have diabetes (treated with insulin or pills, or have high blood sugar levels).
- You have a heart artery blockage of 50% or more that has not been treated with a stent or surgery.
- The blocked artery is at least 2.5 mm wide.
- You do not have severe kidney disease, severe heart failure, or a life expectancy less than 2 years.

This study looks at people with coronary artery disease (narrowed or blocked heart arteries) to see how different imaging and function tests can help predict outcomes. If you've had a heart procedure or test showing blockages, you might be eligible.
This study uses a special CT scan to look at your heart more closely. It may help people with known or suspected heart problems or type 2 diabetes.
This study uses CT scans and special camera images inside your arteries to watch how plaque buildup in heart arteries changes over time. It may help you understand your risk and guide future treatment.
This study uses a follow-up CT scan of your heart arteries to see how diabetes-related plaque buildup changes over time. It may help researchers understand how well current diabetes treatments are protecting your heart.
This trial looks at coronary (heart) artery plaque using CT scans (CCTA) in people with type 2 diabetes who do not have symptoms. It may help doctors understand who is at risk of heart problems and how plaque changes over time.
This trial uses advanced imaging (OCT) and single-cell analysis to study different types of plaque in people with coronary artery disease. It aims to understand how these plaque types differ at a cellular level, which could lead to better treatments.
