About this study

EMBOL-EI (Research Interest antiphospholipid antibody for embolic risk prediction in infective endocarditis) is a prospective cohort study with a biological collection.

The main objective is: to re-evaluate the potential value of antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies as predictors of embolic events in infective endocarditis (IE) in the light of the improved current knowledge on these aPL.

The seconds objectives are: Other plasma biomarkers of hemostasis (coagulation activation markers: D-dimer fragment 1 + 2 of prothrombin; endothelial biomarkers: plasma levels of von Willebrand factor) will be taken into account in the analysis, and interest in predicting embolic risk, alone or in combination with aPL will be investigated.

Criteria of inclusion

  • Patient hospitalized in the University Hospital of Nancy with an Endocarditis some as modified Duke criteria by Li.

The patient is eligible if it is considered and treated as a case of infective endocarditis by physicians ensuring its management. The application of the diagnostic classification Duke criteria modified by Li is made after the collection of all the data at the output of the patient. Will be retained for the analysis of patients meeting certain infective endocarditis.

Clinical, microbiological data, derived from complementary therapies and scalable examinations (including the endpoint) were collected during the hospital stay by doctors that support helped a patient technician clinical studies. Each application is reviewed by a multidisciplinary panel of two experts for validation.

Once validated record, the data collection schedule is sent to the Centre d'Investigation Clinique 1433 Epidémiologie Clinique (CIC-EC) to be entered on a database.

A blood sample is taken from each patient at admission. These samples are packaged and stored in a collection. The serum used in search - called anticardiolipin (AC) Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and Immunoglobulin M (IgM) isotype by ELISA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infective Endocarditis, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 2 sites 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 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

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?

Symptomatic or asymptomatic events occurring before and after IE diagnosis (time frame: at discharge, an average of 8 weeks after inclusion). 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 NCT02887079, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Jan 2022.
