About this study

RIKADA is a prospective study performing systematic family screening including clinical and genetic testing in pediatric patients with primary cardiomyopathy and their first-degree relatives with the aim to facilitate risk stratification.

Read the detailed description

RIKADA is a long-term prospective study performing in-depth phenotype and genotype characterization in children and adolescents with primary cardiomyopathy and their first-degree family members. Family screening contains complete cardiac work-up with medical history, physical examination, 12-lead-/Holter-electrocardiogram, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, echocardiography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and laboratory including genetic testing. The aim is to facilitate early identification of at-risk individuals and contribute to patient-specific follow-up and therapy regimes preventing progressive heart failure and arrhythmia in pediatric CMP.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Cardiomyopathy and Dilated Cardiomyopathy, run by German Heart Institute at 2 sites 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 12 inclusion and 4 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 28 Jun 2018. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sabine Klaassen, MD (+49 30 450 ext. 540656, klaassen@mdc-berlin.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

major cardiovascular events (time frame: from date of enrollment until the date of death, mechanical circulatory support or heart transplantation, assessed up to 8 years). 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 NCT03572569, which also lists 2 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 28 Jun 2018.
