About this study

Official title: Reduced Inflammatory Response Using Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement as Compared to Conventional Surgery

A controlled un-randomized trial where the inflammatory response in 18 patients admitted for TAVI procedure is compared to the inflammatory response in 18 patients admitted for conventional surgical valve replacement. Clinical outcomes are recorded and compared between the Groups. As a secondary endpoint, the inflammatory response was also compared between the patients receiving either transfemoral or trans aortal TAVI.

Read the detailed description

18 patients admitted successively for conventional surgical aortic valve replacement and 18 patients admitted for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) (9 transfemoral and 9 transaortic) are included.

A plasma sample is obtained at defined timepoints before, during and after surgery. At each time points the following biomarkers are analyzed:Concentrations of the complement activation products C3bc and the terminal C5b-9 complement complex (TCC), the neutrophil release product myeloperoxidase (MPO), the cytokines IL-6, eotaxin, MCP-1 and MIP-1β (12). As marker of a myocardial cellular injury troponin T levels will be analyzed. The following clinical outcomes will also be monitored: Death (in hospital, 30 day and one year), blood transfusion, stroke, myocardial infarction.

A dedicated registry will be established at the hospital according to the hospital's standard for storage of patient data. The registry will be deleted after completion of the study.

What participants receive

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

  • Transarterial aortic valve implantation - TAVIProcedure or surgery

    After insertion of a guidewire, either through the femoral artery or through the ascending aorta, the aortic ostium is dilated by a balloon and the valve is introduced through a catheter and expanded in the ostium.

  • Surgical aortic valve replacement - SAVRProcedure or surgery

    The patient is operated through a sternotomy and coupled to a heart lung machine. The aorta is opened and the native valve excised. Then a biological artificial heart valve is sutured in place.

What is being measured

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

  1. Generation of several inflammatory markers measured through repeated blood samples

    The total generation of several inflammatory markers is compared between the groups

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Blood loss

    ml blood loss compared between the groups

    Measured: 24 hrs

  2. Blood transfusion

    Number of blood Products tranfused after the procedure

    Measured: 24 hrs

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transarterial aortic valve implantation - TAVI and Surgical aortic valve replacement - SAVR in people with Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by Oslo University Hospital.

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 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 9 Mar 2017. 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?

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?

Generation of several inflammatory markers measured through repeated blood samples (time frame: 24 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 NCT03074838, 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 9 Mar 2017.
