About this study

Official title: Troponin T as Risk Stratification Tool in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease

Study hypothesis: elevated Troponin T is a marker of increased mortality in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD).

Read the detailed description

Troponin T and I are established risk markers in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Only recently, troponin I was found to be elevated in patients with acute critical limb ischaemia. In another study, troponin I was associated with a higher mortality in patients with chronic critical limb ischaemia followed over two years. In a longitudinal study design we intend to follow all patients that were treated for symptomatic PAOD (Fontaine stages II-IV) from 01/2007 to 12/2007 in our department of angiology. Main outcome parameters are death and the occurrence of major vascular events and revascularization procedures during follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease, run by University Heart Center Freiburg - Bad Krozingen at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 15 Apr 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 Germany. 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?

Death (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT01087385, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 15 Apr 2015.
