In the MEDIMACS project, the investigators will use a randomized clinical-trial design to address the effects of mediterranean diet on atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability and coronary endothelial function in order to decipher complex interplays between diet, microbiome, immunological and metabolic responses and coronary atherosclerosis. The investigators will focus on patients after an episode of acute coronary syndrome and use state-of-the-art techniques to address atherosclerotic plaque composition and coronary endothelial function. A number of different -omic approaches will be used to address effector pathways. The insights provided by this study will allow identifying potential new dietary, microbiota and/or metabolic targets for the treatment of atherosclerosis
Coronary atherosclerosis is a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Continuous efforts are needed to improve secondary prevention and understand the mechanism underlying disease progression. Based on primary prevention trials, a potential benefit of the Mediterranean diet after an acute coronary syndrome can be anticipated. The integrated microbiome-mediated/ immunologic and metabolic pathways by which the Mediterranean diet modifies cardiovascular risk remain mostly unknown. Intestinal and oral dysbiosis is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and microbiome dynamics may account for some of the observed benefits of Mediterranean diet. The first objective of the trial is to evaluate the effects of a well-controlled Mediterranean diet intervention on atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability and coronary endothelial dysfunction after an episode of acute coronary syndrome. The second objective is to decipher the interplays among diet, microbiota, immunity and metabolism responsible for the observed effects. The investigators propose a randomized mechanistic clinical trial, using state-of-the-art efficacy read-outs. The multidisciplinary consortium includes highly experienced cardiologists, nutritionists and experts in translational research in immunology, microbiomics, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and metagenomics. This study will provide valuable insights to identify potential microbiome therapeutic targets for coronary artery disease.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | Experimental | In patients allocated to the control group, the currently used Spanish Mediterranean diet will be recommended as part of a standard high-quality secondary prevention program, where the patient is invited to participate in a single 45 minute nutritional educational group session. Interventions: Microbiota analysis, Immunological analysis, Proteome analysis, Metabolome analysis, Clinical evaluation |
|
| High-intensity MedDiet | Experimental | Patients allocated to the interventional group will be individually evaluated by a dietitian and will participate in dedicated individual and group sessions at baseline, and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. In the interventional group, a personalized MedDiet will assess chemical and nutritional composition and total energy intake will be adapted to participant's weight, age, and requirements, and the dietitian's tailored advice to his/her individual needs. A 14-item dietary screen for adherence to the Mediterranean diet will be used to personalize the intervention and negotiate dietary changes. Furthermore, free virgin olive oil, recipes, shopping list and designed weekly menus will be provided to maximize the differences between groups. Interventions: MedDiet, Microbiota analysis, Immunological analysis, Proteome analysis, Metabolome analysis, Clinical evaluation, Diet evaluation |

The Consortium Partners involved in data creation and analysis agrees to follow the FAIR data management principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability. The Project Management Committee will decide what type and format of data to be stored in the collective database and what type and format of data will be available publicly (as an open-access to research data), as well as how data will be curated and preserved after the end of the project. Sequences, genotypes and protein and immune profiles would be organized and indexed in metadata files following a unique code of assignment that will be submitted for releasing to public database repositories such as GenBank, Gene Expression Omnibus and ClinicalTrials. The International Standards for Genomes and Metagenomes will be followed

Non-intervention or MedDiet intensive intervention group assignment will be made through an automated system. Each patient will be assigned a patient identification number that should appear on all eCRF pages (electronic "case report"), source documents and laboratory data. All researchers involved in the measurement of data, analysis and allocation of results will be blind. The MedDiet intensive intervention will be blind to the evaluation of the endpoints (the research team in charge of the measurement, analysis and awarding of the results will be blind). The samples will be coded and anonymously analyzed by each research team
