About this study

Official title: Analysis of Cardiac Biomarkers, Electrocardiograms and Cardio-pulmonary Exercise Test (CPET) Results in Children With Dilated (DCM), Hypertrophic (HCM) and Left-ventricle Non-compaction (LVNC) Cardiomyopathies

The aim of the study is to analyze cardiac biomarkers, electrocardiograms and cardio-pulmonary exercise test (CPET) results in children with cardiomyopathies.

Read the detailed description

The study group will consist of children that have been diagnosed with DCM, HCM or LVNC. The control group will be composed of healthy children. Examination of cardiac biomarkers (in the study group), ECG, 24-hour- ECG monitoring, CPET will be performed.

Patients in the study group will be invited for 2 consecutive visits (in 6-10 months intervals). During the first and the last visit CPET will be performed. The control group will not be invited for consecutive visits.

Being tested
ECG, 24-hour ECG monitoring, Cardio-pulmonary exercise test (CPET), Cardiac biomarkers
Medical subject headings
Cardiomyopathies

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of ECG (electrocardiographic) differences in children with cardiomyopathies and healthy children.

    Assessment of heart rhythm, heart rate (BPM), PQ, QRS, QT, QTc intervals, QRS-T angle and arrythmia in ECG. These will be compared with arrythmia severity in 24-hour ecg monitoring.

    Measured: 14 months

  2. Assessment of differences in CPET results in children with cardiomyopathies and healthy children.

    Assessment of peak respiratory oxygen uptake (peakVo2), carbon dioxide production (Vco2), anaerobic threshold (AT), expired ventilation (VE), ventilatory equivalent for CO2 (VE/VCO2), VO2/Work rate relationship, maximal workload (W), duration of exercise (T).

    Measured: 14 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assessment of progression of heart failure in children with cardiomyopathies

    Assessment of serum cardiac biomarkers (Troponin I, NT-proBNP) in children with cardiomyopathies during each visit.

    Measured: 20 months

  2. Assessment of arrhythmia in time in children with cardiomyopathies

    Assessment of heart rhythm, heart rate (BPM), PQ, QRS, QT, QTc intervals, QRS-T angle and arrythmia in ECG during each control visit. The results will be compared to the severity of arrythmia in 24-hour ecg monitoring. These test will be performed during each visit.

    Measured: 20 months

  3. Assessment of changes in CPET results in children with cardiomyopathies

    Assessment of peak respiratory oxygen uptake (peakVo2), carbon dioxide production (Vco2), anaerobic threshold (AT), expired ventilation (VE), ventilatory equivalent for CO2 (VE/VCO2), VO2/Work rate relationship, maximal workload (W), duration of exercise (T). CPET will be performed in during the first and the last control visit.

    Measured: 20 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiomyopathies, run by Katarzyna Łuczak-Woźniak at 1 site in Poland.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2022. 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 Poland. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Assessment of ECG (electrocardiographic) differences in children with cardiomyopathies and healthy children. (time frame: 14 months). 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 18 Aug 2022.
