About this study

Official title: Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: Stabilization Assessed by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

The study will investigate the stabilization effects of Tafamidis utilizing cardiac imaging cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). The investigators propose to pursue the following specific aims:

  1. Utilize cardiac magnetic resonance to assess stabilization of ATTR after Tafamidis therapy based on extracellular volume mapping.
  2. Investigate left ventricular myocardial mass, native T1, T2, and extracellular volume mapping after 12 month follow-up.
  3. Utilize cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking at baseline and at 12 month follow-up.
Read the detailed description

The investigators hypothesize that participants with earlier stages (NYHA Class I and Class II) of ATTR wild type and ATTR mutant will demonstrate stabilization of ATTR following 1 year of Tafamidis.

The investigators propose to pursue the following specific aims:

  1. Utilize cardiac magnetic resonance to assess stabilization of ATTR after Tafamidis therapy based on extracellular volume mapping.
  2. Investigate left ventricular myocardial mass, native T1, T2, and extracellular volume mapping after 12 month follow-up.
  3. Utilize cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking at baseline and at 12 month follow-up.

The investigators will enroll 131 participants with confirmed ATTR. Participants will be screened to exclude light chain amyloidosis by either measuring the proportion of kappa: lambda light chains with the serum free light chain assay, and tested for immunofixation electrophoresis of serum and urine. Once participants has confirmed diagnosis of ATTR (pyrophosphate scan positive scoring >1.5 ratio) and undergone baseline testing participants will be ask to enroll in the study. Genetic testing will performed to further distinguish between mutation and wild type. All participants will be required to sign informed consent agreeing to follow up testing at 1 year.

Participants will undergo a baseline cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for the purpose of evaluating native T1, T2, first pass perfusion, and extracellular volumes for patients with glomerular filtration rate >30. Patients with glomerular filtration rate <30 will only have native T1 and T2 values evaluated. If participants undergo implanted cardiac device during Tafamidis therapy, follow up cardiac magnetic resonance imaging will only evaluate featuring tracking and left ventricular mass. Left ventricular mass and cardiac magnetic feature tracking values will be extracted from all cardiac magnetic resonance imaging studies. After one year of Tafamidis therapy, participants will return to initial facility where testing was preformed to undergo a follow up cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study.

There is emerging evidence that there may be biomarkers yet identified for earlier detection of this disease. Henceforth, investigators propose to collect and store blood samples for all participants for future analyses.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Transthyretin Amyloidosis, run by The Christ Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 27 Jan 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 United States. 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 Wojciech Mazur, MD (513-206-1120, wojciech.mazur@thechristhospital.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Stabilization of Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (time frame: 1 year). 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 27 Jan 2021.
