About this study

This is a clinical registry of patients with cardiac amyloidosis being treated at University Hospital Leipzig. The aim of the registry is to collect detailed information about clinical events, symptoms, imaging, biomarkers, comorbidities, and treatment from routine patient management which would not be provided by randomized clinical trails.

Read the detailed description

Cardiac amyloidosis is increasingly diagnosed since awareness of the disease and therapeutic options increase. There is evidence from clinical trials about warning signs ("red flags"), diagnostic algorithms, and evidence for specific treatment. However, patients in randomized clinical studies are highly selected and do not necessarily reflect clinical practise. Furthermore, large clinical trials do not account for national medical care differences nor provide data about long-term outcome and the associations with comorbidities.

Clinical registries may reflect broad clinical practise and help to characterize cardiac amyloidosis in terms of epidemiology, application of diagnostic methods, the impact of comorbidities, and real-world clinical course. Furthermore, clinical registry studies may validate data from randomized clinical trials, provide information on implementation of treatment, the quality of interventions, monitoring patients during treatment, and inform about the safety of procedures.

The cardiac amyloidosis registry aims to collect data from the routine clinical management of patients with cardiac amyloidosis at the tertiary care University Hospital Leipzig. In particular, obtaining data about clinical events of heart disease, hemodynamic measures from echocardiography and circulation biomarkers, cardiac morphology from different imaging methods, clinical status, functional capacity, quality of life, and impact of comorbidities during the course of the disease will be the goal of this registry.

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

  1. All-cause and cardiac mortality

    Mortality

    Measured: 10 years

    Heart failure endpoint

    Measured: 10 years

  3. Rate of any hospitalizations

    Record of any clinical events requiring hospitalization

    Measured: 10 years

  4. Change in left ventricular ejection fraction

    Change in LVEF assessed by echocardiography or cardiac MRI

    Measured: Every 6-12 months over 10 years

  5. Change in left ventricular wall thickness

    Change in left ventricular wall thickness/ mass assessed by echocardiography or cardiac MRI

    Measured: Every 6-12 months over 10 years

  6. Change in systolic arterial pressure

    Change in sPAP assessed by echocardiography

    Measured: Every 6-12 months over 10 years

  7. Change in T1 values

    Change in T1 values assessed by cardiac MRI

    Measured: Approx. every 12 months over 10 years

  8. Change in extracellular volume values

    Change in ECV assessed by cardiac MRI

    Measured: Approx. every 12 months over 10 years

  9. Change in N-Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide over time

    Change in serum concentration of NT-proBNP

    Measured: Every 3-6 months over 10 years

  10. Change in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T over time

    Change in serum concentration of hs-cTnT

    Measured: Every 3-6 months over 10 years

  11. Changes in medical treatment for heart failure

    Changes in heart failure medication (i.e. diuretics, beta-blocker, renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, sodium glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors) as well as specific treatment for amyloidosis (e.g. tafamidis) is recorded.

    Measured: Every 3-6 months over 10 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Prevalence and incidence of cardiac and non-cardiac comorbidities

    Medical history and reports regarding any comorbidities and previous treatment will be assessed in detail at inclusion. Patients are asked for new comorbidities and new treatments at every visit.

    Measured: Every 3-6 months over 10 years

  2. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class over time

    As parameter of clinical status

    Measured: Every 3-6 months over 10 years

  3. Functional capacity over time

    Measured using 6 minute walk test

    Measured: Every 3-6 months over 10 years

  4. Quality of life over time

    Measured via questionnaire (e.g. KCCQ)

    Measured: Every 3-6 months over 10 years

  5. Vital signs over time

    Blood pressure

    Measured: Every 3-6 months over 10 years

  6. Clinical signs of congestion over time

    E.g. edema, jugular venous distension, crackles on lung auscultation

    Measured: Every 3-6 months over 10 years

  7. Number of cardiovascular interventions

    Indication, efficacy and safety of any cardiovascular intervention will be recorded, such as rate of pacemaker implantations, numbers of valve procedures (aortic valve implantation, mitral or tricuspid valve clipping), left atrial appendage occluder implantation, electrophysiological studies and ablation procedures

    Measured: Monitoring continuously over 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Amyloidosis, run by University of Leipzig at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 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 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 Germany. 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 Daniel Lavall, MD (+493419712650, daniel.lavall@medizin.uni-leipzig.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

All-cause and cardiac mortality (time frame: 10 years). The study lists 11 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 13 Nov 2023.
