About this study

Official title: Study of Platelet Activation by Severe Aortic Stenosis and Its Correction by Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) Platelet Activation in TAVI

Study of platelet activation by severe aortic stenosis and its correction by Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)

Read the detailed description
  • Background: TAVI has emerged as an alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement for patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) and is expanding worldwide with more than 50,000 patients treated to date.
  • Purpose Changes in haemostasis, particularly in platelet activation or reactivity before, during and after TAVI have never been studied. Valve replacement is known to alleviate von Willebrand factor abnormalities associated with AS. A potential improvement of platelet function could also occur after TAVI. Indeed, circulating platelets may be desensitized and under-reactive due to multiple passages through the stenotic valve and could recover normal reactivity after TAVI. Besides, TAVI presents a risk of major ischemic complications. The investigators can hypothesize the involvement of high reactive platelets in peri-procedural thrombotic or ischemic events. This study of the platelet activation kinetics will be performed by comparing several specific markers before and at various times after valve implantation.
  • Primary outcome To evaluate the kinetics of platelet activation before and at various times after valve implantation, by comparing several specific markers in peripheral venous blood samples before (day 0) and at days 1 and 5±1 after the procedure.
  • Study design and number of subjects: This is a prospective, monocentric, study. The test group includes up to 15 patients treated by transfemoral TAVI using a MedTronic CoreValve (MCV) prosthesis. Platelet activation will be studied before and after the procedure and compared to a reference established with an age-matched, aspirin-treated, atherosclerotic population (30 patients in the control group).
  • Eligibility criteria:
  • inclusion criteria: test group: patients with severe aortic stenosis and transfemoral TAVI with MCV aspirin treatment . Control group: age-matched patients with stable coronary artery disease treated by aspirin but without aortic stenosis.
  • exclusion criteria: recent (1 month) acute coronary syndrome; treatment by anti platelet agents other than aspirin
  • Procedures: Specific platelet activation markers, circulating platelet/monocytes aggregates, platelet reactivity and vWF will be assessed in peripheral venous blood before, 1 and 5 days after TAVI and in ascending aorta during the procedure.

What participants receive

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

  • testOther

    Peripheral venous citrated blood will be collected just before and 10-15 min after the implantation of the valve. Samples will be obtained after starting the infusion of contrast media. In peripheral venous blood before 24 h and after the procedure and at hospital discharge, 4-6 days when the usual transient thrombocytopenia after TAVI has recovered.

    The results will be used to analyse the kinetics of haematological changes in peripheral blood following aortic valve replacement.

    Platelet activation will be monitored by flow cytometry to assess the expression of specific membrane markers and the phosphorylation of signalling proteins, as well as the formation of platelet/monocyte aggregates.

  • control groupOther

    In this group, only one sample (2 tubes filled with 4.5 ml, i.e. 9ml) will be obtained in venous peripheral blood to establish reference values in age-matched, aspirin-treated, atherosclerotic population.

What is being measured

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

  1. the change of kinetics of platelet activation

    Evaluate the kinetics of platelet activation before and at various times after valve implantation, by comparing several specific markers in peripheral venous blood samples before (day 0) and at day 1 after the procedure using flow cytometry (FACS).

    Measured: 1 min before TAVI and at days 1after TAVI

  2. the change of kinetics of platelet activation

    Evaluate the kinetics of platelet activation before and at various times after valve implantation, by comparing several specific markers in peripheral venous blood samples before (day 0) and at 5±1 days after the procedure using flow cytometry (FACS).

    Measured: 1 min before TAVI and 5±1 after TAVI

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Changes of platelet activation

    platelet activation in aortic blood downstream of the stenotic valve before and 10 min after TAVI,

    Measured: 1 min before and 10 min after TAVI

  2. Changes of platelet activity

    platelet reactivity to selected agonists in peripheral venous blood samples before and at days 1 and 5±1. Measure of platelet/monocytes aggregates by flow cytometry approaches. Measure of plasma serotonin and soluble GPIV by an by an ELISA technique

    Measured: 1 min before and day 1 after TAVI

  3. Changes of platelet activity

    platelet reactivity to selected agonists in peripheral venous blood samples before and at days 1 and 5±1,

    Measured: 1 min before and day 5 after TAVI

  4. changes in von Willebrand factor

    changes in von Willebrand factor in peripheral blood samples The activity and level of vWF antigen will be measured by immunotubidimetric methods

    Measured: 1 min before and day 1 and 5 after TAVI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing test in people with Aortic Stenosis, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 11 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 14 Mar 2017. 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 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?

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?

the change of kinetics of platelet activation (time frame: 1 min before TAVI and at days 1after TAVI). The study lists 2 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 14 Mar 2017.
