About this study

The hypothesis underlying this work is the identification of different sub phenotypes of patients with infective endocarditis through the study of the host's response to infection.

Furthemore, metagenomic sequencing may be a helpful supplement to IE diagnostic, especially when conventional tests fail to yield a diagnosis.

Read the detailed description

Infective endocarditis is a life-threatening infection of heart valves and adjacent structures characterized by vegetations on valves and other endocardial surfaces, with tissue destruction and risk of embolization.

The clinical variability, including the heterogeneous response to infection and the different antibiotic treatments make the identification of the underlying pathogens of infective endocarditis (IE) is critical for precision therapy. Virulence factors mediate tissue adherence, host infiltration, immune resistance/evasion, and dynamic stress responses and confer enhanced pathogen survival, proliferation, and host invasion in animal models of infective endocarditis.

To identify the microorganism and simultaneously considered the response of the host to the infection could improve the management of the infective endocarditis.

What is being measured

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

  1. To characterize a cohort of patients diagnosed with infective endocarditis

    Clinical, microbiological and echocardiographic description of patients with infective endocarditis.

    Measured: 2 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Identification of the underlying pathogens of infective endocarditis (IE)

    We will employ next-generation sequencing for pathogens and antimicrobial resistance detection in IE patients.

    Measured: 2 year

  2. Host response classification for infective endocarditis (IE)

    Differential baseline expression of some genes may indicate resilience to infection.

    Measured: 2 year

  3. Host response predictors of sepsis outcomes

    We will develop and use advanced bioinformatic, metabolomic, proteomic and mRNA sequencing technologies to identify specific changes, or biomarkers, in patient blood samples that predict outcome in sepsis.

    Measured: 2 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infective Endocarditis and Response, Acute Phase, run by Fundación para la Investigación Biosanitaria del Principado de Asturias at 1 site in Spain.

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 5 Oct 2023. 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 Spain. 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?

To characterize a cohort of patients diagnosed with infective endocarditis (time frame: 2 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 5 Oct 2023.
