About
TRANSFORM is a prospective, randomized, open blinded endpoint (PROBE), event-driven, pragmatic trial in patients who are at increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease but with no known symptomatic CV disease. The trial tests the hypothesis that a Cleerly Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Staging System-based care strategy reduces CV events compared with risk factor-based care.
Full description
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) persists as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide at high societal cost. The current primary CVD prevention strategy relies upon risk stratification using population health markers such as age, sex, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and tobacco use, with preventive therapy intensified in higher risk strata. Since these risk factors are indirect surrogate markers of the underlying disease, atherosclerosis, this strategy leads to treatment of individuals with risk factors who do not have atherosclerosis and failure to treat those with significant atherosclerosis who lack risk factors. The current strategy also cannot determine which individuals are inadequately treated despite effective risk factor management (residual risk). With the current approach, the CV death rate is trending upward in the US despite evidence that screening asymptomatic patients reduces CV events and the widespread availability of effective preventive therapies.
This randomized, controlled, pragmatic trial is designed to address the unmet need for better strategies to identify asymptomatic individuals at increased risk for CV events due to atherosclerosis and to personalize their treatment based on CV risk estimates using coronary artery disease (CAD) visualization and quantification.
This study enrolls patients without known symptoms of ASCVD but who are at increased risk for ASCVD due to their age and having diabetes, prediabetes or metabolic syndrome and tests the hypothesis that a CAD Staging System-based care strategy reduces CV events compared with risk factor-based care. The Cleerly CAD Staging System incorporates imaging-based evaluation for coronary atherosclerosis, algorithm-supported pharmacotherapy and personalized education about their CAD.

Inclusion criteria
Provided electronic or written informed consent
Men > 55, women > 65 years of age
Type 2 diabetes mellitus requiring pharmacologic therapy, prediabetes (most recent HbA1c 5.7 to 6.4% and/or fasting glucose 100-125 mg/dL [5.6-6.9 mmol/L]) and/or metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is defined as > 3 of the following criteria (International Diabetes Federation 2006):
Have a device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, computer) for communication with the central cardiologist-led team managing drug treatment for the personalized care group
Exclusion criteria
History of symptomatic CVD defined as prior MI, exertional or unstable angina, ischemic stroke, claudication, arterial revascularization for atherosclerosis or other CVD being actively managed by a cardiologist, e.g. atrial fibrillation, heart failure
Planned arterial revascularization
Inability to complete screening CCTA or any condition that would increase the risk associated with CCTA or increase likelihood of uninterpretable scan including:
Unsuitable as a trial participant in the opinion of the investigator for reasons including significant left main stenosis (e.g. ≥ 70%; site will be notified by Cleerly), other health condition with life expectancy < 3 years or being at risk of poor compliance with study procedures (e.g., active substance abuse or untreated mental illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, is likely to adversely affect adherence or retention)
