About this study

Official title: Does the Level of ST2 in Pediatric Heart Failure Patients Indicate the Likelihood of Cardiovascular Events and Mortality?

Introduction: Suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) is a receptor member belongs to the Interleukin-1 (IL-1) family. The ligand and soluble versions are its two isoforms. The interleukin-33-ST2 ligand complexs development provides protection against heart fibrosis and hypertrophy. Investigations on heart failure in adults has demonstrated that it does not change by age, body mass index (BMI), creatinine, hemoglobin, and albumin levels, in contrast to NT pro brain natriuretric peptit. In adult heart failure patients, it has been demonstrated to be an independent predictor of mortality and cardiovascular events. The most recent guideline recommends using it as class 2b in the diagnosis of adult heart failure. Studies on ST2 in children are rare. The purpose of this study is to assess the prognostic value of ST2 for cardiovascular events in young individuals suffering from heart failure.

Method: The study included pediatric patients (0-18 years old) with congenital heart disease or cardiomyopathy who needed medical care as well as surgical or interventional treatment. Height, weight, gender, saturation, heart failure classification (Ross or New York heart Assosiation), medications taken, the electrocardiogram, echocardiography, Pro BNP, and sST2 values of the patients, as well as any hospitalization, lower respiratory tract infection, organ dysfunction, or need for angiography or surgery during follow-up Data on arrhythmia and death were gathered during a 1-year follow-up. The SPSS software application was used to carry out the statistical analysis.

What participants receive

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

  • Suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2)Diagnostic test

    Suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) is a member of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor family. The ligand and soluble versions are its two isoforms. It was first isolated in 1989. It was found to function as an IL-33 ligand in 2005. The IL-33-ST2L ligand complex\'s creation offers protection against heart fibrosis and hypertrophy. The formation of this complex is inhibited by soluble ST2, which removes the cardioprotective effect. Unlike NT pro BNP, it is unaffected by age, body mass index, creatinine, hemoglobin, and albumin levels, according to studies performed on individuals. with heart failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity levels with or without major cardiovascular event

    pg/ml

    Measured: baseline

  2. Pro BNP levels

    pg/ml

    Measured: baseline

  3. Major cardiovascular event ( such as hospitalization, lower respiratory tract infection, organ dysfunction, or need for angiography or surgery)

    rate(%)

    Measured: 1 year follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Heart Disease and Congestive Heart Failure, run by Eskisehir Osmangazi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Apr 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity levels with or without major cardiovascular event (time frame: baseline). The study lists 3 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 4 Apr 2024.
