Heart Transplant and Primary Transplant Dysfunction: a Retrospective Analysis of the Strasbourg Experience

An observational study of Primary Graft Dysfunction, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site in France.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Among the complications of heart transplant, primary dysfunction of the graft (PDG) is the most feared with a net impact on early morbidity and mortality. The all-cause mortality rate at the international level is 10% at 30 days and 34% at one year. Read more about this study

About this study

Among the complications of heart transplant, primary dysfunction of the graft (PDG) is the most feared with a net impact on early morbidity and mortality. The all-cause mortality rate at the international level is 10% at 30 days and 34% at one year. Mortality at 30 days is secondary in 66% of cases with DPG or multi-organ failure.

The treatment of choice for the more severe PDG remains ECMO-type circulatory mechanical assistance or ventricular assistance. According to several studies, this could reduce early mortality. Early placement and short-term (<30 days) of support appear to improve survival in the first year after transplantation.

The haemodynamic parameters revealing this DPG are not clearly described in the literature.

hypothesis of this research is that:

  • DPG risk factors in strasbourg's hospital center are comparable to other European and international centers.
  • Simple hemodynamic parameters can be used to detect PDG earlier in order to set up assistance more quickly.

What is being measured

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

  1. Retrospective comparison of risk factors (incidence for ordinal and average variables for numerical variables) between patients suffering from severe primary dysfunction of the graft and those not suffering from severe primary dysfunction of the graft

    Measured: 1 month after leaving the operating room

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Graft Dysfunction, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France 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 9 Jan 2018. 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 Gharib AJOB, MD (33 3 69 54 97 58, gharib.ajob@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Retrospective comparison of risk factors (incidence for ordinal and average variables for numerical variables) between patients suffering from severe primary dysfunction of the graft and those not suffering from severe primary dysfunction of the graft (time frame: 1 month after leaving the operating room). 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 9 Jan 2018.
