Trial summary

Purpose Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) has been shown to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality in several clinical conditions, including heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction as well as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

About this study

Official title: Echocardiographic Assessment and CLInical imPlication of Functional tricuSpid rEgurgitation in Heart Failure With Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction (ECLIPSE-HF)

Purpose Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) has been shown to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality in several clinical conditions, including heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction as well as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We have designed a study aiming at: characterizing the echocardiographic morphology of the tricuspid valve apparatus and the pathophysiology of FTR in heart failure with reduced, mid-range or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF, HFmrEF, HFpEF) and in PAH patients; correlating the morphologic characteristics of tricuspid valve apparatus with hemodynamic severity of FTR; correlating the severity of FTR with the clinical condition and outcome. Methods The study will be a non-interventional, prospective, international, multicenter, longitudinal study. The minimum number of patients which are expected to be enrolled is 300 HF patients, including HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF patients, whereas 100 PAH patients will serve as control. The patients will be enrolled in 20 centers in Europe, North America and Saudi Arabia. The echocardiographic parameters will be analyzed by the local investigators; a quality control committee will evaluate all data entered in the database to identify potential outliers and a random sample of 10% of cases will be blindly re-analysed in a central core-lab. Conclusions This study has been designed to improve our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical relevance of FTR across all HF phenotypes. The results could potentially allow a more appropriate selection of heart failure patients with FTR for tricuspid valve intervention by percutaneous or surgical repair or replacement.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation, run by Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 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 2022. 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 Italy. 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?

Time to all-cause death or to first HF hospitalization (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05209919, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2022.
