About this study

Official title: Reverse Remodeling After PTSMA in Severe But ASympTomAtic LVOT Obstruction (RASTA Study)

Patients with HOCM and severe LVOT obstruction can remain asymptomatic while significant cellular and structural changes of the heart (adverse remodeling) may occur preceding heart failure and rhythm disorders. Hence, preventing adverse remodeling through LVOT desobstruction may have significant impact on cardiac function and geometry in this particular population, as it is in symptomatic patients.

The investigators will assess functional and structural characteristics of the myocardium in asymptomatic vs. symptomatic patients with severe LVOT obstruction before and after PTSMA, using advanced imaging studies with LGE-CMR and echocardiography.

Read the detailed description

The trial consists of three cohorts

  1. Symptomatic HOCM patients with severe LVOT obstruction undergoing PTSMA (reference group)
  2. Asymptomatic HOCM patients with severe LVOT obstruction undergoing PTSMA (study group)
  3. Asymptomatic HOCM patients with severe LVOT obstruction with no intervention (observation group)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PTSMA in people with HOCM, Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy and LVOTO - Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction, run by St. Antonius Hospital at 2 sites in Netherlands.

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 5 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 16 Sep 2021. 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 Netherlands. 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 Jurrien M ten Berg, MD PhD (+31 88 320 1121, j.ten.berg@antoniusziekenhuis.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fibrosis (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04230551, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Sep 2021.
