About this study

Official title: Age and Sex-Specific PREValence of AcqUirEd VALVular Heart DiseasE (PREVUE-VALVE)

The PREVUE-VALVE study will establish reliable, population-based estimates of Valvular Heart Disease (VHD) prevalence among older Americans and allow for the development and validation of several innovative tools to aid in the detection and diagnosis of Valvular Heart Disease (VHD).

Read the detailed description

With the aging population, the incidence and prevalence of VHD are increasing in the U.S. and other parts of the developed world. Despite the availability of effective therapies and procedures to treat VHD, many patients remain (1) untreated due to undiagnosed VHD, or inadequate access to appropriate VHD care or (2) treated later than recommended due to diagnosis late in the disease course or barriers to prompt care for VHD. To optimize care for patients with VHD, it is therefore essential to (1) know the true prevalence of these conditions in order to align screening efforts with access to treatment; and (2) develop validated tools to more effectively screen and diagnose patients with VHD.

In response to these unmet needs, the PREVUE-VALVE study will establish reliable, population-based estimates of VHD prevalence in the United States and allow for the development and validation of several innovative tools to aid in the detection and diagnosis of VHD. The results of this study will enable the investigators to make tangible progress toward the goal of treating all patients with VHD at the optimal time.

The study will be conducted in a sample of older individuals (i.e., age 65-85 years) that is representative of the U.S. population. The sample will be carefully curated to ensure traditionally underrepresented individuals are included and overrepresented, if possible. After obtaining informed consent, each participant will undergo a standard echocardiogram in order to identify VHD (specifically aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valve disease) and to quantify its severity using state-of-the-art methods in a core echocardiography laboratory. Echocardiograms will be performed in participants' homes in an effort to reduce any barriers towards participation. A variety of complementary data (i.e. blood sample, electrocardiograms, and clinical inventory including a standardized health status assessment) will be collected while study personnel are with participants. Formal statistical weighting methods will be applied to estimate the population prevalence of various subtypes of VHD (e.g., aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation) from the raw data. In addition, the investigators will report the prevalence of VHD, including VHD subtypes, and describe the association between different blood analytes and ECG characteristics with VHD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of Valvular Heart Disease

    The primary endpoint of the study is the presence of any significant (i.e. moderate or greater) valvular heart disease at the baseline assessment including aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, or tricuspid regurgitation.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Moderate or greater aortic stenosis (at baseline)

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Moderate or greater aortic regurgitation (at baseline)

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Moderate or greater mitral stenosis (at baseline)

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Moderate or greater mitral regurgitation (at baseline)

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Moderate or greater tricuspid regurgitation (at baseline)

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Valvular Heart Disease, run by Cardiovascular Research Foundation, New York 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 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 2025. 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?

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?

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?

Prevalence of Valvular Heart Disease (time frame: Baseline). 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 NCT05357404, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 7 Feb 2025.
