Trial summary

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a highly prevalent, disabling and costly disorder with generally poor long-time outcomes once critical stenosis presents with symptoms. Elucidating viable therapeutic strategies for CAVD is pressing. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Iron Deficiency as a Promoter of Intra-leaflet Haemorrhage-induced Aortic Valve Calcification

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a highly prevalent, disabling and costly disorder with generally poor long-time outcomes once critical stenosis presents with symptoms. Elucidating viable therapeutic strategies for CAVD is pressing. Valvular interstitial cells (VICs) control the structure and function of aortic valve. Intra-leaflet haemorrhage (IH), commonly occurring in histologically stenotic aortic valves, while, in 2019, researchers pointed that iron deposits also presented obviously healthy valves. In line with this, later exploration from vitro showed that iron stimulation alone could not promote VICs calcification. Iron deficiency (ID) is a frequent co-morbidity in multiple chronic cardiovascular diseases such as CAVD; up to 50% of patients with severe aortic stenosis present ID. Data from a small clinical study in patients undergoing TAVI showed those in ID status appeared much higher mean transaortic gradient; whereas no studies have assessed the correlation between ID and aortic valve remodelling and dysfunction progress itself. Here, the investigators aim to investigate for a tentative correlation between ID and human aortic valve remodeling and dysfunction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum iron

    Plasma levels of serum iron will be reported in μmol/L.

    Measured: within 24 hours of admission

  2. Total iron binding capacity

    Total iron binding capacity will be reported in μmol/L.

    Measured: within 24 hours of admission

  3. Serum transferrin receptor

    Plasma levels of serum transferrin receptor will be reported in g/L.

    Measured: within 24 hours of admission

  4. Unsaturated iron-binding capacity

    Serum iron and total iron binding capacity will be combined to report unsaturated iron-binding capacity in μmol/L.

    Measured: within 24 hours of admission

  5. Serum transferrin

    Plasma levels of serum transferrin will be reported in g/L.

    Measured: within 24 hours of admission

  6. Transferrin saturation

    Serum iron and total iron binding capacity will be combined to report transferrin saturation in %.

    Measured: within 24 hours of admission

  7. Soluble transferrin index

    Serum iron and serum transferrin will be combined to report soluble transferrin index.

    Measured: within 24 hours of admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Iron Deficiencies and Calcified Aortic Valve, run by Qilu Hospital of Shandong University.

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 4 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 11 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Serum iron (time frame: within 24 hours of admission). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Jan 2024.
