About this study

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) refers to a phenomenon in which blood cells with somatic mutation circulate in the peripheral blood due to abnormal proliferation and differentiation of mutant hematopoietic cells.

CHIP is considered one of the aging phenomena, and the mutant blood cells increased by CHIP cause chronic inflammation, thereby increasing the occurrence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Therefore, CHIP is known to be closely related to poor prognosis of ischemic heart failure. Meanwhile, chronic inflammation may be involved in the development of non-ischemic myocardial disease, which is one of the major causes of heart failure.

This study will identify CHIP and perform NLRP3 inflammasome assay in 100 non-ischemic heart failure patients and evaluate the relationship between CHIP and inflammation, imaging markers of heart failure, Left ventricle reverse remodeling after guideline-directed medical treatment, and prognosis of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT05981144
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ExperimentalPatients with heart failure without significant stenosis of the major epicardial coronary artery and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction below 40%

What is being measured

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

  1. Left ventricular reverse remodeling

    a second measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction > 40% and a ≥10% increase from baseline left ventricular ejection fraction of ≤ 40%

    Measured: 3 months after guideline-directed medical treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical outcome

    Heart failure hospitalization or cardiovascular death

    Measured: 3 years after enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 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 13 Nov 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 South Korea. 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?

Left ventricular reverse remodeling (time frame: 3 months after guideline-directed medical treatment). 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 13 Nov 2023.
