Trial summary

It has been known for many years that the heart and the liver are intimately related. There is a mutual interaction between the function of the heart and the liver and a broad spectrum of acute and chronic entities that affect both the heart and the liver. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Investigative Study on the Possible Effect of the Antiviral Inhibitors (Sofosbuvir and Daclatasvir) for Treatment of Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Cardiac Function

It has been known for many years that the heart and the liver are intimately related. There is a mutual interaction between the function of the heart and the liver and a broad spectrum of acute and chronic entities that affect both the heart and the liver. Chronic hepatitis C virus infection affects more than 3% (170 million) of the world's population.

Read the detailed description

Assessment of systolic function by echocardiography will be done to 100 hepatitis C virus infected patients who receive antiviral treatment (sofosbuvir and daclatasvir) by biplane simpson's method and by speckle tracking.

Assessment of diastolic function by echocardiography to 30 hepatitis C virus infected patients who will not receive antiviral treatment, by left atrium volume , mitral inflow pattern , tissue doppler annular early and late diastolic velocities .

Conditions
Hepatitis
Being tested
Systolic function by echocardiography, Diastolic function by echocardiography

What participants receive

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

  • Systolic function by echocardiographyProcedure or surgery

    Echocardiography for evaluation of systolic function:

    • by biplane Simpson's method.
    • by speckle tracking:
  • Diastolic function by echocardiographyProcedure or surgery

    Echocardiography for evaluation of diastolic function:

    • Left atrial Volume
    • Mitral Inflow Patterns
    • Pulsed wave Doppler
    • Mitral inflow patterns include normal, impaired left ventricular relaxation, pseudonormal, and restrictive left ventricular filling patterns.
    • Tissue Doppler Annular Early and Late Diastolic Velocities
    • Pulsed wave tissue doppler imaging
    • Primary measurements include the systolic , early diastolic, and late diastolic velocities.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients with ventricular dysfunction

    The percentage of ventricular dysfunction in hepatitis C virus patients who received antiviral treatment in comparison with patients with hepatitis C virus who didn't receive antiviral treatment

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Systolic function by echocardiography and Diastolic function by echocardiography in people with Hepatitis, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 22 Jan 2020. 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 Egypt. 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 Yehia Kishk, MD (00201011030011, ytkishk2002@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients with ventricular dysfunction (time frame: 3 months). 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 22 Jan 2020.
