About this study

Official title: Contribution of Systematic Pathological Examination of Orthopaedic Specimens to the Early Diagnosis of Tranthyretin Amyloid Heart Disease

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the frequency of ATTR amyloid, cardiac involvement and associated features, in 150 patients aged 50 or more years, and operated for an idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome, lumbar spine stenosis or total hip or knee arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis. The main questions to be answered are:

  1. What is the frequency of ATTR deposits in samples retrieved during surgery?
  2. What is the frequency of cardiac involvement in ATTR positive patients?
  3. What are the preoperative predictors of ATTR deposits? Participants will

  • have operative samples stained by Congo red in search of amyloid, which will be typed by immunochemistry in positive samples,
  • undergo a multimodal imaging search for cardiac involvement, if ATTR is identified,
  • undergo a preoperative complete clinical examination, including collection of medical history, ECG, biochemical tests, and imaging (ultrasound scans of rotator cuff and hip capsule in all participating patients, of the carpal tunnel in patients operated at this site, and MRI + standing profile radiography of the lumbar spine, in patients operated for lumbar stenosis)
  • ATTR positive patients will be proposed to be followed-up by a reference center, with the aim of an early diagnosis of cardiac involvement, allowing efficient mamagement.

Researchers will assess the frequency of ATTR deposits at each operated site, the frequency or ATTR cardiopathy in ATTR + patients, and will compare demographic, clinical, biochemical, and imaging features in patients with and without ATTR deposits, to guide the indications of pathological examination during these frequent orthopedic surgeries

What is being measured

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

  1. frequency of ATTR amyloidosis

    presence of ATTR amyloidosis in surgical samples by immunohistochemistry performed when samples countain amyloi by Congo red.ATTR will be semiquantitalively assessed using a published scale.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. presence of ATTR cardiopathy

    Diagnosis by multimodal imaging(bone scintigraphy, cardiac US scan, MRI)

    Measured: 20 months

  2. proportion of wild type and hereditary ATTR

    hereditary: patients exibit a mutation of the TTR gene, wild type: no mutation. TTR genotyping will determine if the gene is muted (hereditary ATTR) or not (wild type).

    Measured: 20 months

  3. Description of preoperative predictors of ATTR

    features more frequent in patients diagnosed with ATTR versus not:

    • demographic and clinical characteristics, will be collected before surgery and compared in ATTR positive and ATTR negative patients.

    Measured: 18 months

  4. Description of preoperative predictors of ATTR

    features more frequent in patients diagnosed with ATTR versus not:

    • imaging characteristics (USscans of rotator cuff, hip capsula and carpal tunel) will be collected before surgery and compared in ATTR positive and ATTR negative patients.

    Measured: 18 months

  5. preoperative predictors of ATTR

    biochemical features more frequent in patients diagnosed with ATTR versus not:

    • troponine (g/L)
    • BNP (ng/L)
    • proteuniria (ng/L) will be collected before surgery and compared in ATTR positive and ATTR negative patients.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ATTR Amyloidosis and Cardiopathy, run by Institut Mutualiste Montsouris at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 16 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

frequency of ATTR amyloidosis (time frame: 18 months). 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 16 Apr 2024.
