Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: patients with unexplained Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy will be prospectively included. HCM diagnosis will be based on conventional echocardiographic criteria and will be considered definite in the presence of LV hypertrophy without cavity dilatation and without other cardiac or systemic disease able to produce the magnitude of hypertrophy.

Who may be able to join

  • patient with newly diagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), based on conventional echocardiographic criteria.The diagnosis of HCM will be considered definite in the presence of left ventricle hypertrophy without cavity dilatation and without other cardiac or systemic disease able to produce the magnitude of hypertrophy.

Who cannot join

  • Associated cardiac or non cardiac disease known to cause left ventricle hypertrophy (uncontrolled systemic Hypertension, severe aortic stenosis)

About this study

Official title: New Diagnostic Strategy in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Including a New Genetic Approach: A Multicentric Prospective Study

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by unexplained hypertrophy of the left ventricle, often with predominant involvement of the interventricular septum, and characterized by myocyte disarray and fibrosis.

HCM is the most common familial heart disease with strong genetic heterogeneity, demonstrated over the past 20 years. Mutations in 11 or more genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere are responsible for (or associated with) HCM.

Read more

However, 30-40% of sporadic and familial cases of HCM are still genetically unlabelled. In addition, secondary HCM caused by Fabry's disease or amyloidosis, may mimic primary HCM and may be under diagnosed. This may result in a delay in accurate diagnosis and instauration of specific treatment, with possible clinical consequences for the patients.

For these reasons, we decided to apply a new diagnostic strategy for patients with newly diagnosed HCM, including the whole exome sequencing (WES) technology.

If correctly applied, this new technology has the potential to strongly reduce the diagnostic wavering leading to earlier diagnosis and genetic counseling in sarcomeric HCM and rarer forms of secondary HCM including Fabry's disease and amyloidosis, and also specific therapy set-up in secondary forms of HCM. It should also allow identifying new genes responsible for HCM.

Read the detailed description

Background : Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by unexplained hypertrophy of the left ventricle, often with predominant involvement of the interventricular septum, and characterized by myocyte disarray and fibrosis.

HCM is the most common familial heart disease with strong genetic heterogeneity, demonstrated over the past 20 years. Mutations in 11 or more genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere are responsible for (or associated with) HCM.

However, 30-40% of sporadic and familial cases of HCM are still genetically unlabelled. In addition, secondary HCM caused by Fabry's disease or amyloidosis, may mimic primary HCM and may be under diagnosed. This may result in a delay in accurate diagnosis and instauration of specific treatment, with possible clinical consequences for the patients.

Objectives : For these reasons, we decided to apply a new diagnostic strategy for patients with newly diagnosed HCM, including the whole exome sequencing (WES) technology.

  1. Main objective: to evaluate the additional diagnostic value of the new proposed strategy for the identification of a specific cause of HCM as compared with conventional diagnostic strategy
  2. Secondary objectives:

To evaluate the frequency of secondary HCM (Fabry's disease, amyloidosis, mitochondrial cardiomyopathies, and others) observed by this systematic screening in a population of newly diagnosed HCM

Perspectives: If correctly applied, this new technology has the potential to strongly reduce the diagnostic wavering leading to earlier diagnosis and genetic counseling in sarcomeric HCM and rarer forms of secondary HCM including Fabry's disease and amyloidosis, and also specific therapy set-up in secondary forms of HCM. It should also allow identifying new genes responsible for HCM.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Aug 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Gilbert HABIB, Professor (gilbert.habib@ap-hm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

whole exome sequencing (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Aug 2015.
