About this study

A multi-site, multi-modality prospective observational clinical outcomes study focussed on the development of phenotype-dirven risk prediction modelling in patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease.

Read the detailed description

The Cardiovascular Imaging Registry of Canada (CIROC) was conceived to provide a common standardized architecture for the collection of clinically reported imaging biomarkers, demographic information, resource utilization and clinical outcomes among patients referred to non-invasive cardiac imaging. The Registry was designed to assess the feasibility of implementing personalized care strategies through automated high quality data collection and patient engagement.

The CIROC Registry was launched with inaugural focus on Cardiac MRI base phenotyping, however has evolved to encompass cardiac CTA and echocardiography. Clinically referred patients are engaged by automated, tablet-based tools to collect informed consent and deploy standardized patient health assessments. Standardized reporting of disease features are captured using bespoke reporting tools. All patients are prospectively followed for a period of 10-years using linkage to administrative health data, inclusive of ICD-coded events, laboratory test results, ECG and vital statistics.

What is being measured

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

  1. Major adverse cardiovascular outcomes (MACE)

    Composite of all-cause death, heart failure admission, myocardial infarction, heart transplantation or LVAD, Stroke or TIA

    Measured: 2024

  2. Malignant arrhythmic events

    Composite of sudden cardiac death or appropriate ICD shock

    Measured: 2024

  3. Heart failure events

    Composite of heart failure admission, death or need for transplantation / LVAD

    Measured: 2024

  4. Atrial arrhythmic events

    Occurrence of atrial fibrillation / atrial flutter (documented by 12-lead ECG or Holter monitor)

    Measured: 2024

  5. All-cause mortality

    Death based on Vital Statistics Alberta and In-hospital coded death

    Measured: 2024

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases, run by University of Calgary at 4 sites in Canada.

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 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Canada. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact James White (403-944-2805, jawhit@ucalgary.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Major adverse cardiovascular outcomes (MACE) (time frame: 2024). The study lists 5 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 NCT04367220, 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 12 Mar 2024.
