Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 19 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patient who have bicuspid aortic valve

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with confirmed bicuspid aortic valves based on cardiac imaging (echocardiography, CT, MRI) or surgical findings.
  • Early aortic valve calcification group: Patients aged 20-80 with moderate or greater aortic valve stenosis/regurgitation.
  • Normal functioning aortic valve group: Patients aged 20-80 with mild or less aortic valve stenosis/regurgitation.
  • Patients who understand the purpose of the study and voluntarily consent to participate.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with malignant neoplastic diseases or other conditions, such as cerebrovascular accidents, which predict survival of less than 6 months.
  • Patients with unclear presence of bicuspid aortic valves.
  • Patients with stage 3 or higher chronic kidney disease.
  • Patients with other inherited cardiac conditions.
  • Patients with cognitive impairment or hemodynamically unstable patients who have difficulty understanding the study content.

About this study

This study is to elucidate the impact of germline mutations and clonal hematopoiesis (CHIP) on the progression of early aortic valve calcification in patients with bicuspid aortic valves. The study will be conducted over a recruitment period of one year and a follow-up observation period of two years. Considering a 2-year event rate and a 33% occurrence rate of clonal hematopoiesis, each group requires a minimum of 102 participants. Accounting for a 15% dropout rate, a total of 120 participants are needed for each group (type I error (α) = 5%, type II error (β) = 20%). Therefore, the total study population, including patients with normal aortic valve function, is set at 240 participants.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of germline mutation

    Measured: 2 years follow-up

  2. Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) mutation

    Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is the presence of a clonally expanded hematopoietic stem cell caused by a leukemogenic mutation.

    Measured: 2 years follow-up

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Progression of aortic valve calcification

    Progression of aortic valve calcification measured by computed tomography (AV calcium score) or Echocardiography (Progression of AS/AR)

    Measured: 2 years follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bicuspid Aortic Valve, 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 5 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 Dec 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?

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 Iksung Cho (82-2-2228-8442, iksungcho@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Presence of germline mutation (time frame: 2 years follow-up). 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 1 Dec 2023.
