Trial summary

Identification of biological markers able to better stratify cardiovascular risks in systemic lupus erythematosus patients is needed. We aimed to determine whether serum cardiac troponin T levels measured with a highly sensitive assay (HS-cTnT) may predict cardiovascular events in systemic lupus erythematosus.

About this study

Identification of biological markers able to better stratify cardiovascular risks in systemic lupus erythematosus patients is needed. We aimed to determine whether serum cardiac troponin T levels measured with a highly sensitive assay (HS-cTnT) may predict cardiovascular events in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Read the detailed description

Cardiac Troponin (cTnT) is a marker of myocyte necrosis and injury in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction. Measured with high-sensitivity (HS) assays, HS-cTnT has proven predictive value for coronary heart disease, heart failure, and mortality in the general population at apparent low-risk for cardiovascular events. In a previous study, our group showed that HS-cTnT concentration was associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in systemic lupus erythematosus patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether HS-cTnT was associated with incident cardiovascular events in systemic lupus erythematosus

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary outcome was the occurrence of cardiovascular events over follow-up.

    Incidents cardiovascular events (CVE) were ascertained by physician interview using a standardized questionnaire and through examination of medical records. cardiovascular events included coronary heart disease, stroke, revascularization procedure for other atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and sudden cardiac death. Coronary heart disease was defined as a history of angina, coronary revascularization, or myocardial infarction. All CVE that occurred through March 2019 were considered for analysis

    Measured: Up to 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2020. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary outcome was the occurrence of cardiovascular events over follow-up. (time frame: Up to 10 years). 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 8 Oct 2020.
