About this study

Official title: The Prevalence of ATTR Cardiac Amyloidosis in Elderly Middle Eastern Patients Undergoing Transarterial Aortic Valve Replacement

ATTR-cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is present in 4% to 16% of elderly patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis (AS). The reasons for this association are not fully known. It is hypothesized that an amyloidotic infiltration of the aortic valve acts as a trigger for the development of endothelial damage and subsequent calcification. Elderly patients undergoing TAVI will be evaluated for the presence of ATTR-CA in Jordan.

Read the detailed description

ATTR-cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is present in 4% to 16% of elderly patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis (AS). The reasons for this association are not fully known. Two hypotheses may explain this association

  1. Amyloidotic infiltration of the aortic valve acts as a trigger for the development of endothelial damage and subsequent calcification.
  2. The increased myocardial strain induced by AS may locally favor the process of amyloidogenesis and tissue infiltration.

Transarterial AV replacement (TAVI) is the treatment of choice for elderly patients with severe calcific AS. Studies have shown a prevalence of about 10% of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis in patients undergoing TAVI. The diagnosis is based on a positive nuclear scan (PYP, DPD or HMDP) and ruling out AL amyloidosis in patients with positive scans. While studies have shown no impact of ATTR on prognosis in TAVI patients, there is evidence of poorer quality of life, increased in-hospital acute ischemic stroke, increased cardiac and heart failure hospitalizations, increased conduction abnormalities, compared to patients without ATTR undergoing TAVI.

The prevalence of ATTR in TAVI patients in Jordan and Middle Eastern populations has not been previously evaluated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis in elderly Middle Eastern patients undergoing TAVI and to document the clinical characteristics, procedural outcomes and 1 year follow up of such patients compared to patients without ATTR.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of ATTR CA in TAVR patients

    Consecutive elderly (≥65 years) patients who are undergoing TAVI will be included.

    Patients will be invited to undergo a pyruvate PO4 (PYP) scan. Patients with positive scans will undergo further testing to rule out AL amyloidosis (Free light chain assay, SIFEP, UIFEP). Data collection will include all pertinent clinical characteristics, peri- procedural details.

    Measured: On admission ( from time of admission to time of discharge from the hospital) and within 10 days.

  2. Cardiovascular event at One year follow up

    Events at one year defined as the occurrence of all-cause death, and hospital admission for heart failure or aortic valve reintervention.

    Measured: One year after enrollment: up to 30 days after the passage of 365 days after the TAVR procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ATTR Amyloidosis Wild Type and Severe Aortic Stenosis, run by Jordan Collaborating Cardiology Group.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Aug 2023. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ramzi Tabbalat, MD, FACC (00962795535522, ramzi_md@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of ATTR CA in TAVR patients (time frame: On admission ( from time of admission to time of discharge from the hospital) and within 10 days.). 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 29 Aug 2023.
