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
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Master athletes without evidence of transthyretin amyloidosis. Genotype positive phenotype negative transthyretin amyloidosis, and phenotype positive transthyretin amyloidosis.

Who may be able to join

  • General inclusion criteria: patients should be able to exercise on a treadmill or a bike, willing to consent to the study procedures and willing to return to site during the follow up period of 72 hours for repeated blood and urine collection
  • Specific inclusion criteria:
  • Group 1: Subjects must be at least 60 years of age and meet the master athlete definition of: athletes engaged in cycling ≥8 hours per week or running ≥6 hours per week or triathlon training (combination of swimming, cycling, running) ≥8 hours per week, or equivalent sports activities, for at least 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • Group 2: Genotype positive (G+) cardiac phenotype negative (P-) patients with variant ATTR (i.e. carriers without evidence of disease)
  • Group 3: Patients with ATTR CA who have not been on a stabilizer (tafamidis) within the last 14 days prior to enrollment.

Who cannot join

  • Taking diflunisal or daily non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use within 2 weeks.

About this study

Official title: Exercise Effect on Transthyretin Stability in Master Athletes and Patients With Transthyretin Amyloidosis

The goal of this study to investigate if exercise predisposes to transthyretin instability. The investigators will evaluate the effect of exercise on transthyretin biochemistry.

Read the detailed description

This is an investigator initiated observational study, designed to study the effect of exercise on transthyretin stability in three main populations: Group 1: healthy master athletes who are 60 years or older. Group 2: Genotype positive (G+) cardiac phenotype negative (P-) patients with variant ATTR (i.e. carriers without evidence of disease). Group 3: Patients with ATTR CA who have not been on a stabilizer (tafamidis) within the last 14 days prior to enrollment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in percent transthyretin stability assay

    Transthyretin stability will be measured and expressed as a percentage

    Measured: Change from baseline to 72 hours post-exercise

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Plasma transthyretin level

    Plasma transthyretin level will be measured

    Measured: Change from baseline to 72 hours post-exercise

  2. Plasma transthyretin fragments

    Plasma transthyretin fragments will be measured

    Measured: Change from baseline to 72 hours post-exercise

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Amyloidosis Transthyretin and Athlete Heart, run by Oregon Health and Science University 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in percent transthyretin stability assay (time frame: Change from baseline to 72 hours post-exercise). 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 3 Aug 2021.
