Trial summary

Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is the most frequent valvular disease. The severity of the obstruction of the left ventricle (LV) is essentially analyzed today by echocardiography Doppler, which assesses two key markers that are aortic valve pressure gradient and the aortic valve area.

About this study

Official title: Calcified Aortic Valve Stenosis (AVS). Markers of Fibrosis Using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is the most frequent valvular disease. The severity of the obstruction of the left ventricle (LV) is essentially analyzed today by echocardiography Doppler, which assesses two key markers that are aortic valve pressure gradient and the aortic valve area. however these marker are a poor reflect of the clinical severity of AVS. The aim of the study is to validate new markers assessing cardiac fibrosis that might best or complementary markers.

Read the detailed description

To validate new markers assessing cardiac fibrosis three groups of subjects were studied in controls subjects and patients with AVS in order to :

  1. Analyze myocardial fibrosis markers in MRI, the degree of hypertrophy, remodeling and wall shear stress in a control population and in three groups of subjects to RA progressively increasing risk: asymptomatic subjects without symptomatic subjects LV dysfunction, symptomatic patients with LV dysfunction. The factors favoring the appearance of fibrosis observed in MRI will be analyzed on all subjects.
  2. To validate these fibrosis markers estimated by MRI by histological analysis of biopsies performed in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement.
  3. Monitoring compliance with the distribution of markers of fibrosis and wall stress estimated on Initial MRI are factors of aggravation or not improved function and / or remodeling remote myocardial. Public hospitals in Paris

Study groups in NCT02551588
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Valvular aortic stenosis surgeryPatients with symptomatic AVS had indication for surgery. They were proposed to have per procedure cardiac biopsy. They were followed when possible one year after surgery.
Receives: Procedure: Valvular aortic stenosis surgery
Valvular aortic stenosis without surgeryThese patients with asymptomatic AVS had no indication for surgery. They were followed when possible one year after inclusion.
Control subjectPatients without history of cardiac infarction, primary or secondary myocardiopathy or of radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. prevalence of myocardial fibrosis in MRI in patients with AVS

    Indices of myocardial fibrosis will been analysed as combined criteria to analyse myocardial fibrosis

    Measured: At one year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. comparison of these markers with myocardial histology

    Fibrosis estimated by MRI will be compared to fibrosis on myocardial biopsy symptomatic patients with surgery only)

    Measured: At inclusion and at one year

  2. Correlation with Doppler Echocardiography Assessment, and wall stress estimate by using both cardiac MR and carotid artery pressure (applanation tonometry)

    Correlation of MRI with known markers of ventricular hypertrophy

    Measured: At inclusion and at one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 17 inclusion and 7 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 25 Jan 2016. 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?

prevalence of myocardial fibrosis in MRI in patients with AVS (time frame: At one year). 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 25 Jan 2016.
