About this study

Official title: Comparative Evaluation of the Evolution of Emerging Biological Markers (sST2, Copeptin, Chromogranin, NGAL, suPAR and Cystatin) in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Heart Failure (AHF) Depending on Their Management: Conventional or Therapeutic Adjustment According to Daily Ultrasound. Ancillary Study to the JECICA Study (AOI GCS MERRI 2015).

This is a bi-centric, prospective randomized study to evaluate the contribution of rapid echocardioscopy at the patient's bedside to improving the prognosis of patients hospitalized for acute heart failure. The following markers will be evaluated: sST2, Copeptin, chromogranin, NGAL, suPAR and cystatin.

Read the detailed description

The JECICA study is the first prospective randomized study to evaluate the contribution of rapid echocardioscopy at the patient's bedside to improving the prognosis of patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (paper submitted to the American Heart Journal, Impact Factor 4.15). The serum library set up to consider this ancillary study can now be used.

With it, a comparative analysis of the expression profiles of emerging biological markers will be made according to whether patients received standard management or the "Jet Echo" strategy. The following markers will be evaluated: sST2, Copeptin, chromogranin, NGAL, suPAR and cystatin. This study should help to explain any differences in results observed, consider the development of multiparametric prognostic scores and explore the correlation between biological markers and the evaluation of echocardiographic congestion from a pathophysiological viewpoint.

The results obtained should lead us to improve our usual practices for the management of heart failure patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes at 2 sites 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 7 inclusion and 18 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 27 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?
