About this study

Official title: Cardiac Repercussion of Systemic Sclerodermias : Detection of Infra-clinical Abnormalities by Analysis of the Myocardic Regional Function Using Myocardial Tissular Doppler Mode.

Systemic sclerodermia is a connectivity characterized by multiple visceral impairments, in particular pulmonary, which can lead to the development of a Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAHT).

In one hand, this PAHT is an evolutionary turn in symptomatology and prognosis, and on the other hand, the tracking and the analysis of its effects on the right ventricular function are difficult with the conventional techniques.

Read more

So, the analysis of the right ventricular function appears capital, because:

  • it is recognized like an essential determinant of the symptoms and effort capacity,
  • its prevalence, physiopathology and prognostic values remain unknown in this pathology,
  • its interest in the starting of the treatment remains to be specified.

The aim of this trial is to identify in a population of 150 patients presenting a systemic scleroderma without PAHT:

  • the incidence of a right ventricular dysfonction, evaluated by the analysis of the myocardic regional function with myocardial tissular Doppler mode,
  • the physiopathology of this damage by correlation with the tests of respiratory function and the not invasive hemodynamic datas at rest and exercise.
  • the prognosis value of the abnormalities of the right ventricular function by a follow-up of these patients over a 5 years period.

This trial should allowed to define the place of the new right ventricular function markers in the evaluation of the functional consequences, the forecast and perhaps the care of systemic sclerodermic patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Echocardiography with myocardial tissular Doppler modeProcedure or surgery

    Echocardiography with myocardial tissular Doppler mode during rest and exercise on a table equipped with a cyclo-ergometer

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To measure the incidence of right ventricular dysfonction evaluated by analysis of the regional myocardic function with myocardial tissular Doppler mode

    Measured: each year for 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To define the potential place of new regional myocardic function markers in the evaluation of the cardiac repercussion of systemic scleroderma and to correlate these markers with clinical, functional and hemodynamic parameters.

    Measured: each year for five years

  2. To detect an eventual prognostic role of regional myocardic function parameters which could allow to an earlier screening of the patients being able to receive a pulmonary vasodilator treatment before the rest PAHT occurrence .

    Measured: each year for five years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Echocardiography with myocardial tissular Doppler mode in people with Systemic Scleroderma, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 13 inclusion and 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2019. 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 France. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To measure the incidence of right ventricular dysfonction evaluated by analysis of the regional myocardic function with myocardial tissular Doppler mode (time frame: each year for 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00697736, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 May 2019.
