Trial summary

Background: Aortic valve stenosis is a disease that makes a major heart valve get smaller. This reduces heart function and causes death. Severe aortic stenosis (AS) can be treated in a couple of ways, including replacing a heart valve. Objectives: Researchers want to study fibrosis in the heart. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Utilization of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Predict Clinical Outcomes of Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis

Background:

  • Aortic valve stenosis is a disease that makes a major heart valve get smaller. This reduces heart function and causes death. Severe aortic stenosis (AS) can be treated in a couple of ways, including replacing a heart valve.
Read more

Objectives:

Researchers want to study fibrosis in the heart. A sub-study will test whether heart function and blood supply improve after a valve replacement.

Eligibility:

  • Adults at least 18 years old with aortic stenosis.

Design:

  • Participants will visit a clinic for 1 day for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of their heart. This uses magnets, radio waves, and computers to produce detailed pictures of the heart.
  • After this visit, participants will have their aortic valve procedure at the the Washington Hospital Center. A hospital team will contact participants for 1 year by phone or email. This follow-up will consist of 15 minutes of questions about the participant s health status.
  • Some participants will join a sub-study.
  • They will be given an additional medication to evaluate the blood supply of the heart.
  • They will visit a clinic for 1 day for an MRI of their heart, as part of the main study, prior to the aortic valve replacement.
  • After they have their valve replaced at the hospital, they will return to the clinic for another MRI.
  • They will have the same follow-up as in the main study.
Read the detailed description

Aortic valve stenosis is a disease that causes narrowing of a major heart valve, and that reduces heart function and causes death. The purpose of this protocol is to use magnetic resonance imaging of the heart to identify which patients would benefit from replacement of the diseased valve.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the ability of cardiac MRI measurement of extracellular volume fraction (related to myocardial fibrosis) to predict short and long term LV function of subjects with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter AVR.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).

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 7 inclusion and 25 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 assess the ability of cardiac MRI measurement of extracellular volume fraction (related to myocardial fibrosis) to predict short and long term LV function of subjects with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter AVR. (time frame: 3 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 NCT01905852, which also lists 3 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 13 Sep 2019.
