NCT ID NCT05103943

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at 50 people with TTR amyloid cardiomyopathy, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. Researchers want to see if a special SPECT scan can measure blood flow in the heart's tiny vessels, which may be impaired even without blocked arteries. Participants will have two scans 24 months apart to track changes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better understand and monitor heart blood flow problems in TTR amyloidosis patients using widely available SPECT technology.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study (50 people) with no treatment being tested. It only measures blood flow, so it won't directly improve patient outcomes.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 50 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged from 18 to 90 years * Understanding and speaking French * With TTR amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRxt or ATTRm) confirmed by the association of heart failure, syncope or bradyarrhythmia, with electrocardiogram and/or magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) suggesting/indicating cardiac amyloid, grade 2 or 3 99mTc- PYP or bone scintigraphy and negative biological findings (i.e. serum immunofixation, urine immunofixation, serum free light chain assay); or, if one of those criteria is not met, presence of amyloid deposits on analysis of biopsy specimens obtained from cardiac and non-cardiac sites (17-19), * Intention to treat (Tafamidis) Exclusion Criteria: * Heart failure not due to transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy; * New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV heart failure. * The presence of light-chain amyloidosis; * A history of liver or heart transplantation; * An estimated glomerular filtration rate lower than 25 mL per minute per 1.73 m2 of bodysurface area (Cockcroft). * Liver transaminase levels exceeding two times the upper limit of the normal range; * Severe malnutrition as defined by a modified body-mass index (mBMI) of less than 600, calculated as the serum albumin level in grams per litter multiplied by the conventional BMI (the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters); * Patients receiving concurrent treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, tauroursodeoxycholate, doxycycline, calcium-channel blockers, or digitalis; * Previous treatment with tafamidis or patisaran; * Ticagrelor treatment * Previous CAD, severe epicardial stenosis with revascularization or ticagrelor treatment, coronary artery bypass grafting, myocardial infarction; * Contra-indications to pharmacological stress testing MPI: severe hypotension (\< 90 mmHg of Systolic arterial pressure), atrioventricular block 2nd or 3rd grade, carotid stenosis (unilateral \>70%, bilateral \>50%); * Pregnancy * Breastfeeding * Protected adults * Other study participation
