About this study

Official title: The Impact of Genetic Variability on Perioperative Morbidity and Mortality. Substudy: Inflammatory Response in Patients Undergoing Aortic Valve Replacement.

The study investigates inflammatory and antiinflammatory response in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis needing either surgical treatment (surgical aortic valve replacement) or interventional cardiology treatment (transcatheter aortic valve implantation using the transfemoral access route or the transapical access route).

Read the detailed description

Background

Surgical and interventional therapy for aortic valve stenosis exposes the patients to a immune reaction, which is different depending on the type of the treatment. In this study, the investigators would like to better understand the inflammatory and antiinflammatory response in this patient population by monitoring the perioperative cytokine response (interleukins), the human leukocyte antigen expression (HLA-DR) and assessing soluble plasma factors (CD62L) involved in inflammatory processes.

Objective

Characterisation of inflammatory and antiinflammatory response in patients receiving aortic valve prosthesis selected for different treatment options.

Methods

Whole blood analysis at different time points (preoperatively, 4 / 24 /48 hours postoperatively) for different inflammatory and antiinflammatory markers: IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, CRP, TNF, soluble CD62L.

What participants receive

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

  • Whole blood analysisOther

    In all fours groups of patients we investigate inflammatory and antiinflammatory response to the surgical and interventional treatment by analyzing changes in the concentration of interleukins, C-reactive protein, soluble CD62L and HLA-DR.

What is being measured

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

  1. Inflammatory response, as determined by whole blood analysis of inflammatory biomarkers (IL-6, CRP, TNF alpha, CD62L)

    Measured: Perioperative period ending after 48 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Anti-inflammatory response, as determined by whole blood analysis of inflammatory biomarkers (IL-8, IL-10)

    Measured: Perioperative period ending after 48 hours postoperatively

  2. In-hospital mortality

    Measured: In-hospital treatment until discharge (7-10 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammation and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, run by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 5 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 14 Jul 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 Switzerland. 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?

Inflammatory response, as determined by whole blood analysis of inflammatory biomarkers (IL-6, CRP, TNF alpha, CD62L) (time frame: Perioperative period ending after 48 hours postoperatively). 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 14 Jul 2015.
