About this study

Official title: New Biomarkers in Heart- and Renal Failure: Cohort Study for Assessing Prognosis in Acute Coronary Syndrome and Acute/Chronic Cardiovascular and Renal Failure by Means of Fibroblast Growth Factor 23

In this study, prognostically relevant biomarkers for cardiovascular / renal insufficiencies will be clinically evaluated, to improve the course of assessment of such disease and to gain new insights into the typical course of congestive heart failure. This is a prerequisite to allow patients to appropriate treatment as soon as possible.

Read the detailed description

In recent years advances in diagnosis/ therapy in patients with acute coronary syndromes heart failure / and renal insufficiency patients could be made. However, these diseases still associated with an increased mortality rate. The diseases affecting at the same time as the heart and the kidney contribute to the deterioration in the course of the disease. An acute or chronic functional impairment of an organ, e.g. the heart, is connected to another functional impairment, such as the kidneys. In the past, different scores to the risk and prognosis assessment have been introduced measuring many different diagnostic parameters such as E.g. age, pre-existing conditions, kidney function, heart function, and laboratory values. The scores can be used for risk assessment and treatment.

For determining the prognosis of heart and kidney-failure patients, biomarkers are analyzed. Biomarkers in the blood or urine which can provide early information on a specific course of disease are called prognostic biomarkers. In this study, prognostically relevant biomarkers for cardiovascular / renal insufficiencies will be clinically evaluated, to improve the course of assessment of such disease and to gain new insights into the typical course of congestive heart failure. This is a prerequisite to allow patients to appropriate treatment as soon as possible. An important role in heart and vascular disease can be awarded the Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF) 23. The height of FGF23 in the blood plasma is linked with the risk of cardiovascular events occur and the beginning of dialysis patients. FGF23 goes hand in hand with the development of heart failure or with a hospitalization as a result of heart failure.

The clinical utility of biomarkers will be examined in relation to established risk scores calculated from clinical parameters, to determine whether this biomarker of bone-heart-kidney axis can extend the forecast evaluation of patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure and Kidney Failure, run by RWTH Aachen University 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 8 inclusion and 8 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 27 Oct 2022. 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?

Survival after recording on the intermediate care station (time frame: 35 days). 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 NCT02830464, which also lists 22 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 27 Oct 2022.
