About this study

Official title: Prognostic Value of Serial Biomarker Measurements in Patients With ADHF

Evaluation of serial measurement of novel biomarker for diagnosis, prognosis or therapy monitoring in patients presenting with acute decompensated heart failure.

Read the detailed description

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic and progressive illness resulting from a variety of cardiac causes, including ischemic and valvular heart disease, dilatative cardiomyopathy or hypertension. HF may also develop suddenly, particularly as a complication of acute myocardial infarction or as an acute exacerbation in patients with previously compensated chronic HF. Diagnosis and in-hospital management of HF is often demanding and outcome especially regarding rehospitalizations is impaired. Novel biomarker may be very helpful in assessment of diagnosis, prognosis, and severity of HF as well as for treatment monitoring.

Design: Prospective, multicenter observational study Setting: University Hospital Basel, Kantonsspital Aarau, Kantonsspital Luzern, Kantonsspital Wolhusen Patients: Patients with acute HF not requiring ICU admission

Measurement of serial biomarker (BNP, NT-proBNP, MR-proADM, ST2, hs-cTnI and Copeptin) will be performed at presentation, at 6 hours (h), 12h, 18h, 24h, at 48h, at day 6 and at hospital discharge. Follow- up will be performed at 6 Month, 1 year and 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Course of BNP, NT-proBNP, MR-proADM, Copeptin, ST2, hsTnT

    Measured: Entry, 6h, 12h, 18h, 24h, 48h, 6 days, discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Heart Failure, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 4 sites in Switzerland.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Switzerland. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Course of BNP, NT-proBNP, MR-proADM, Copeptin, ST2, hsTnT (time frame: Entry, 6h, 12h, 18h, 24h, 48h, 6 days, discharge). 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 NCT00514384, 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 3 Dec 2014.
