About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study of PICP Serum Marker of Myocardial Fibrosis and Diastolic Function in Patients With Systolic Dysfunction

The purpose of this study is to determine if the carboxy-terminal of procollagen type I (PICP) can be a useful marker of different degrees of myocardial fibrosis.

Read the detailed description

Abnormality of diastolic function, particularly a more advanced form known as restrictive tilling pattern, has been correlated with worse outcome in patients with systolic dysfunction associated with chronic heart failure or following an acute myocardial infarction. Recently, the severity of diastolic dysfunction has also been shown to predict the response to cardiac synchronization therapy for refractory heart failure due to systolic dysfunction.

Varying degree of diastolic dysfunction has been reported among patients with comparable severity of systolic dysfunction. The underlying mechanisms responsible for the observed discordance between systolic and diastolic dysfunction in these patients remains incompletely understood.

The carboxy-terminal of procollagen type I (PICP), a peptide that is cleaved from procollagen type I during the synthesis of fibril-forming collagen type I, has been associated with myocardial fibrosis. Myocardial fibrosis is a major determinant of both systolic and diastolic function of the heart. We hypothesize that differential degrees of myocardial fibrosis may be responsible for these discrepancies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systolic Dysfunction, run by Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: PI left institution; Data collected from 45 participants, but no results are available.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

There will be a significant relationship between the severity of diastolic dysfunction and PICP. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Oct 2015.
