Trial summary

In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cardiac manifestations, e.g. coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocarditis are leading causes of morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of subclinical heart disease in SLE is unknown. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Heart in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus - a Comprehensive Approach by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Tomography

In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), cardiac manifestations, e.g. coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocarditis are leading causes of morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of subclinical heart disease in SLE is unknown. We studied whether a comprehensive cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) protocol may be useful for early diagnosis of heart disease in SLE patients without known CAD

Being tested
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Medical subject headings
Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic, Coronary Artery Disease, Cardiomyopathies

What participants receive

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

  • Cardiovascular magnetic resonanceDiagnostic test

    CMR including cine, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and stress perfusion sequences

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of cardiovascular pathologies identified by CMR in patients with SLE

    Measured: at baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic and Coronary Artery Disease, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Apr 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 Switzerland. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Recruitement problems as single centre study). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Prevalence of cardiovascular pathologies identified by CMR in patients with SLE (time frame: at baseline). 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 5 Apr 2018.
