  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of HCM as defined as: Interventricular septal thickness greater than 12 mm on a 2D echocardiogram, or septal: posterior wall thickness as measured on parasternal long axis view of >1.3 in the absence of secondary causes of cardiac hypertrophy such as aortic stenosis and systemic hypertension.
  • Diagnosis of ACS, either NSTEMI as determined by positive myocardial markers or STEMI patients who have an onset of symptoms 12 hours or less before presentation and an ST-segment elevation of at least 1 mm in two or more contiguous limb leads or of at least 2 mm in two or more contiguous precordial leads during prehospital 12-lead ECGs. Patients will undergo 99mTc-NC100692 imaging within 1 week of acute myocardial infarction.
  • No clinically significant chronic or acute illness as determined by history, echocardiogram and/or available reports.
  • The subject is greater than or equal to 18 years of age at study entry.
  • Before any study procedure is carried out, the subject is able and willing to comply with study procedures and has provided signed and dated informed consent, including permission to access medical records.
  • The subject is male, or a female who is either surgically sterile (has had a documented bilateral oophorectomy and/or documented hysterectomy), postmenopausal (cessation of menses for more than 1 year), non-lactating, or of childbearing potential for whom the result of a urine pregnancy test performed before administration of IMP is negative.

Who cannot join

  • Concomitant diseases that can lead to myocardial hypertrophy including valvular heart disease and uncontrolled hypertension. If HCM is proven by either the presence of a family history of HCM or through genotyping, patients with controlled hypertension will not be excluded.

About this study

Official title: Technetium-NC100692 SCintigraphy to Detect avB3 Integrin Expression as a mARker of Fibrosis in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Acute Coronary Syndrome: the SCAR Study

The objective is to determine whether 99Technetium-NC100692 uptake in patients with ACS (MI) can serve as a marker for scar formation as detected by contrast-enhanced MRI during the process of myocardial remodelling after the ischemic insult.

Comparison of ACS and HCM Populations:

The primary objective is to determine whether TcNC100692 imaging is able to quantify the extent to which myocardial fibrogenesis occurring early post myocardial infarction differs from that in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

The primary hypothesis is that since fibrogenesis is known to occur most intensely in the first days to weeks post myocardial infarction, while it is a more protracted, less predictable process in HCM, there will be significantly more TcNC100692 uptake in the early post-ACS population than in the HCM population.

Control Population:

Normal control images will allow for differentiation of uptake in the myocardium.

Read the detailed description

HCM Population:

The primary objective is to determine whether fibrosis detected by MRI and 99mTc-NC100692 uptake in patients with HCM are associated. The secondary objective is to determine whether 99mTc-NC100692 uptake correlates on a segmental basis with fibrosis visualised by late Gd-enhancement MRI. The tertiary objective is to evaluate the relationship between the extent of fibrosis assessed by 99mTc-NC100692 uptake and mean longitudinal strain as determined by speckle tracking echocardiography.

The primary hypothesis is that there is an increased uptake of 99mTc-NC100692 in patients with HCM fibrosis detected by MRI. The secondary hypothesis is that the location and extent of increased 99mTc-NC100692 uptake will correlate with localization and extent measurements of fibrosis by Gd-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. The tertiary hypothesis is that the extent of fibrosis assessed by the number of segments with and the magnitude of 99mTc NC100692 uptake will correlate with mean longitudinal strain as determined by speckle tracking echocardiography.

ACS Population:

The objective is to determine whether 99Technetium-NC100692 uptake in patients with ACS (MI) can serve as a marker for scar formation as detected by contrast-enhanced MRI during the process of myocardial remodelling after the ischemic insult.

The primary hypothesis is that there is an increased uptake of 99Technetium-NC100692 in patients following an ACS event (MI) and that the location and extent of increased 99Technetium-NC100692 uptake will correlate with the presence and extent of scar as detected by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.

Normal Control Population:

Preliminary analysis of images from HCM population showed a diffuse, low grade uptake of 99Technetium-NC100692 in non-hypertrophied myocardial segments. Although not entirely unexpected, comparison with control images will allow for quantification of low grade fibrosis and low grade uptake.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 99mTc-NC100692 in people with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation at 1 site in Canada.

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 6 inclusion and 15 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 24 Apr 2017. 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 Canada. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Costs of study procedures has changed and escalated and became prohibitive.). 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?

TcNC100692 uptake (time frame: 3 hours). 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 24 Apr 2017.
