Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The aortic wall and aortic valve discarded specimens will come from the Cardiac Surgery department of Amiens Picardie CHU. The bone and peri-bone discarded specimens will come from the orthopedic surgery services of the CHU Amiens-Picardie. The collection of samples and their use is part of various projects carried out by research project leaders supported by the laboratory MP3CV (CURS, site CHU sud, Amiens). No genomic analysis is planned for these samples. None clinical data is associated with the interpretation of data collected through the work that will be carried out from these human tissue samples. There are no collections per se, the samples collected are pseudonymized.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients undergoing surgery in the Cardiac Surgery and Orthopedic Surgery departments of the CHU Amiens-Picardie
  • patients who will be beforehand informed
  • patients who will not be opposed to this study.

Who cannot join

  • HIV and hepatitis positive patients

About this study

Although it is now established that calcification process result from the joint and coordinated action of different cell types, many areas of shadow remain regarding the spatio-temporal implementation of these events. Highlighting these processes requires additional research to consider new approaches to clinical management of patients with such conditions. It is in this context that the investigators need to use residual human tissue fragments resulting from surgery which are not intended to be used for clinical-biological management of patients. The use of these pseudonymised human tissues will allow the investigators to conduct in vitro cell culture experiences.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoblast and Vascular Calcification, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens 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 3 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 15 Jun 2026. 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?

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 Romuald Mentaverri, Pr (03 22 887104, romuald.mentaverri@u-picardie.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Success in establishment of Cell Culture Systems from discarded surgery specimens (time frame: 5 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 15 Jun 2026.
