About this study

Official title: The Prognostic Value of proBNP in Patients Supported With Durable Mechanical Circulatory Assist Devices - a 25 Year Follow up Study.

A biobank has been created to investigate the prognostic value of biomarkers (mainly BNP) in patients implanted with durable mechanical assist devices comparing patients with advanced HF supported by MCS with those who are transplanted and those who remain on optimal medical therapy.

Patients will be followed up for 25 years after inclusion.

Read the detailed description

All patients referred for advanced HF treatment at the Dept of Cardiology at Rigshospitalet.

What participants receive

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

  • Observation. No intervention per se.Other

    Also called 1) Observation - No intervention

    Observation. No intervention (no collection of blood).

  • 2) Observation and collection and of blood sampleOther

    Also called Blood sample

    All patients evaluated for adv HF (HTX/LVAD) will be offered to contribute to this database; Blood samples will be collected from all at baseline. Patients receiving LVAD will contribute on a yearly basis (or until withdrawal of consent). For other patients no further blood will be collected unless they receive an LVAD at a later point.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure and Left Ventricular Assist Device, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 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 5 May 2021. 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 Denmark. 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 Kiran Mirza, MD (+4535451442, KiranMirza@dadlnet.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Alive (time frame: 25 years from inclusion). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 May 2021.
