About this study

Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) for cardiac transplant patients.

Read the detailed description

Patient will undergo MRE beginning 4-8 weeks post transplant, then with each scheduled cardiac biopsy through 7-8 months post transplant. Results of the MRE will be compared against results of the cardiac biopsy to determine if the non-invasive MRE can predict cardiac transplant rejection.

Conditions: Acute Graft Rejection
Being tested: Magnetic Resonance Elastography driver

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Magnetic Resonance Elastography driverDevice
Also called Siemens MRE Driver
A driver is required for MRE. The driver utilizes sound waves to produce vibrations. Images of these vibrations are captured with Magnetic Resonance scanner to produce images that indicate stiffness in an organ.

Study groups in NCT02266914
Study group	Role	What they receive
Arm 1	Experimental	Patients who have received a cardiac transplant at The Ohio State University Ross Heart Hospital will undergo Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) (using a Magnetic Resonance Elastography driver) within 24-48 hours of standard of care biopsy. Results of both will be compared to determine if MRE can successfully predict cardiac transplant rejection. Receives: Device: Magnetic Resonance Elastography driver

What is being measured

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

Cardiac Stiffness With Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE)
MRE scans will be performed within 24-48 hours of standard of care cardiac biopsies for patients who have undergone cardiac transplant at The Ohio State University Ross Heart Hospital. Stiffness results from the MRE will be compared to histopathology from the cardiac biopsy to determine if the completely non-invasive MRE can successfully predict transplant rejection.
Measured: 24-48 hours

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 May 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Cardiac Stiffness With Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) (time frame: 24-48 hours). 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 NCT02266914.

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.
