About this study

Egyptian HCM program aims at defining incidence, severity, phenotype, genotype and determinants of the disease in Egypt, and providing state-of-the-art treatment strategies including medical, surgical and interventional procedures which are patient- and disease-specific.

Read the detailed description

This project aims to:

  • Define incidence, severity, phenotype, genotype and determinants of the disease in Egypt.
  • Characterise the phenotype and genotype of several large cohorts with inherited muscle disease and their relatives.
  • Provide state-of-the-art treatment strategies including medical, surgical and interventional procedures which are patient- and disease-specific.
  • Study the basic mechanisms responsible for the different phenotypes at a molecular and cellular level including genotype-phenotype correlation.
  • Provide a special focus for studying patients who are genotype positive and phenotype negative which we believe could yield critical data regarding the evolution of the disease.
  • Develop sophisticated laboratory studies for single cell electrophysiology and immunocytochemistry and others focusing on the explanted human material from the surgical program.
  • Define the role of microvascular coronary artery in the development and progression of the disease.
  • Training Egyptian cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and scientists on state-of-the-art diagnosis and management of heart muscle disease including the latest developments in imaging, novel surgical techniques, coronary physiology, next generation sequencing, bioinformatics and cellular electrophysiology.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of HCM in Egypt

    per 100,000 population per year

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 5 year

  2. Determinants of clinical severity of HCM in Egypt

    Several indicators describing the clinical symptoms and signs

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 follow-up every year, and an average of 5 follow-ups throughout the study duration

  3. Determinants of cardiac phenotype severity of HCM in Egypt

    Several indicators describing the cardiac phenotype using multimodality imaging

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 follow-up every year, and an average of 5 follow-ups throughout the study duration

  4. Determinant of genotype severity of HCM in Egypt

    To identify and report the genetic profile of HCM in Egypt.

    Measured: through study completion, at least once at the time of inclusion

  5. Study the basic mechanisms responsible for the HCM in Egypt

    To study different phenotypes at a molecular and cellular level including genotype-phenotype correlation.

    Measured: through study completion, at least once at the time of inclusion, or

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, run by Magdi Yacoub Heart Foundation at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2023. 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 Egypt. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Magdi H Yacoub, FRS OM (m.yacoub@imperial.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of HCM in Egypt (time frame: through study completion, an average of 5 year). The study lists 5 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 1 Jun 2023.
