Trial summary

The working hypothesis is that cardiac macrophages specific for the compensated cardiac hypertrophic phase limit the progression toward the decompensated state of heart failure by promoting an inflammatory environment favouring cardiomyocyte survival and preservation of the pump function.

About this study

Official title: Protective Gr1low Monocytes and Macrophages in Compensated Cardiac Hypertrophy to Limit Decompensation and Heart Damaging

The working hypothesis is that cardiac macrophages specific for the compensated cardiac hypertrophic phase limit the progression toward the decompensated state of heart failure by promoting an inflammatory environment favouring cardiomyocyte survival and preservation of the pump function. The investigators will perform studies in human plasma and monos, cardiac tissues and macrophages to validate this hypothesis.

Read the detailed description

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) occurs following acute and chronic phases of ischemic heart disease as well as during pressure and/or volume overload (arterial hypertension, valvular heart disease). Persistence of the pathological stimuli, i.e. pressure and/or volume overload, will ultimately lead to the decompensation of cardiac function described as heart failure (HF). HF is worldwide one of the major healthcare concerns both in terms of the loss of human life and economic burden due to the expanding costs of care for patients with this condition (Ambrosy 2014). HF is associated with cardiomyocyte death, exacerbated inflammatory reaction with ensuing fibrosis and alteration of local angiogenesis. A better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the maintenance of the compensated state and in the transition to heart failure will promote the conception of new pharmacological interventions to prevent or even to reverse the transition to heart failure. Based on preclinical studies, the aim of this study is to advance our knowledge of relevant mechanisms involved in this process.

In an experimental setting in mice, the protective role of macrophages presenting an anti-inflammatory polarization in the progression of isuprel-induced left ventricular hypertrophy to irreversible heart failure has been recently demonstrated (Keck et al., submitted). These findings in the experimental model encourage their confirmation in the clinical setting. In the latter case, new therapeutic strategies can be projected to prevent or even to reverse the transition of compensated cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure.

To this purpose, the investigators will study cardiac tissue and blood sample of patients presenting compensated cardiac hypertrophy compared to those with end-stage heart failure.

Patients undergoing aortic valve replacement associated with septal myomectomy for aortic valve stenosis and asymmetric septal hypertrophy as well as patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) undergoing septal myomectomy are included in the group of compensated cardiac hypertrophy. Patients undergoing heart transplantation or implantation of mechanical life supporting system are included in the group of end-stage heart failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification of the complete spectrum of expressed mRNA of cardiac tissue macrophages.

    This complete mRNA profile obtained in patients will be compared to the one found in preclinical studies in mice. The genes that are expressed during compensated cardiac hypertrophy in both human and mouse will be sorted out. The expression of the latter genes will be correlated to the cardiac pump function in order to select in the macrophage transcriptome potential markers of compensated cardiac hypertrophy. The presence of these specific macrophage markers will be investigated on frozen cardiac tissue sections by immune-histochemistry and by real time polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR).

    Measured: 18 months from start date

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Identification of the complete transcriptome (including surface markers) of circulating monocytes from the blood collected for this project

    The transcriptome of circulating monocytes will be identified by mRNA sequencing. This complete mRNA profile obtained in patients will be compared to the one found in preclinical studies in mice and the genes that are expressed during compensated cardiac hypertrophy in both human and mouse will be sorted out. The expression of the latter genes will be correlated to the cardiac pump function in order to select in the circulating monocyte transcriptome potential markers of compensated cardiac hypertrophy. The presence of these specific circulating monocyte markers will be investigated by rtPCR.

    Measured: 24 months from start date

  2. Determination of the plasmatic factors in correlation with cardiac macrophage that may be specific for the compensated or decompensated state of left ventricular hypertrophy

    Assessment of the presence of plasmatic factors: Based on preclinical studies showing circulating plasmatic markers of the compensated cardiac hypertrophic state, the same biomarkers will be assessed in plasma of the patients by ELISA. The concentration of these plasmatic factors will be correlated to the cardiac pump function in order to select potential markers of compensated cardiac hypertrophy.

    Measured: 24 months from start date

  3. mRNA of the circulating monocytes

    Characterization of mRNA of the circulating monocytes that in correlation with those of cardiac tissue macrophages may be specific for the compensated or decompensated state of left ventricular hypertrophy and thus protective against transition to heart failure.

    Measured: 24 months from start date

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sampling in people with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 8 inclusion and 6 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 25 Jul 2019. 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 Reza TAVAKOLI, Dr (07 69 89 40 52, r.tavakoli@ican-institute.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identification of the complete spectrum of expressed mRNA of cardiac tissue macrophages. (time frame: 18 months from start date). 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 25 Jul 2019.
