About this study

Official title: Surgical Septal Myectomy Versus Percutaneous Transluminal Alcohol Septal Ablation in Patients With Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy

The aim of this randomized trial is to compare the improvement in exercise capacity among patients with highly symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy despite optimal medical treatment who undergo alcohol septal ablation (ASA) or surgical septal myectomy (SSM).

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multicentre, open label, randomized controlled, non-inferiority trial (RCT) with a 1:1 randomization to alcohol septal ablation or surgical septal myectomy in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) between 40-75 year of age with symptoms and/or syncope due to HOCM despite medical therapy. A total of 100 patients will be included. All patients will be evaluated with bicycle ergometry exercise test, MRI and 2D-echo before and 1 year after invasive treatment. Follow-up will be at 1,3 and 5 years.

Being tested
Alcohol Septal Ablation, Surgical Septal Myectomy
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Metabolic Equivalent (METs) assessed with a bicycle ergometry exercise test

    The primary endpoint is the improvement of the exercise capacity in the form of Metabolic Equivalent (METs) which will be assessed with a bicycle ergometry exercise test (difference in exercise capacity in Metabolic Equivalents) performed before and 1 year after invasive treatment.

    Measured: 1 year after the invasive treatment

Secondary outcomes (22)
  1. Number of participants with all-cause mortality

    Measured: Follow up will be 1,3 and 5 years

  2. Number of participants with cardiovascular mortality

    Measured: Follow up will be 1,3 and 5 years

  3. Number of participants with transient Ischemic Attack

    Measured: Follow up will be 1,3 and 5 years

  4. Number of participants with hospital Readmittance

    Measured: Follow up will be 1,3 and 5 years

  5. Number of participants with with occurrence of atrial fibrillation

    Measured: Follow up will be 1,3 and 5 years

  6. Number of participants with ventricular arrhythmias

    Measured: Follow up will be 1,3 and 5 years

  7. Number of participants with with complete heart block requiring permanent pacemaker implantation

    Measured: Follow up will be 1,3 and 5 years

  8. Number of participants with major bleeding

    Bleeding rate will be analysed using Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (type 3,4 or 5), TIMI major and VARC major criteria.

    Measured: First 30 days

  9. Number of participants with re-intervention

    One more time need for Alcohol septal ablation or surgical septal myectomy

    Measured: Follow up will be 1,3 and 5 years

    Measured: Follow up will be 1,3 and 5 years

  13. Quality of life evaluation using the The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)

    In the KCCQ, an overall summary score can be derived from the physical function, symptom (frequency and severity), social function and quality of life domains. For each domain, the validity, reproducibility, responsiveness and interpretability have been independently established. Scores are transformed to a range of 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status. For brevity, only the performance characteristics of the overall summary score are presented in this discussion.

    Measured: Follow up will be 1,3 and 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Alcohol Septal Ablation and Surgical Septal Myectomy in people with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, run by St. Antonius Hospital at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 16 Sep 2021. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Metabolic Equivalent (METs) assessed with a bicycle ergometry exercise test (time frame: 1 year after the invasive treatment). 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 NCT04684290, which also lists 16 linked publications.

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 16 Sep 2021.
