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
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looked at whether being physically active over a lifetime is linked to developing a rare heart disease called wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. Researchers compared the exercise histories of 180 people over age 60, including those with the disease, those with heart failure, and healthy individuals. The goal was to see if more activity might lower the risk of this condition.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Confirmed diagnosis of wtATTR-CM including sequencing of the TTR gene; or HF; or healthy proband without a diagnosis of heart disease\* 2. Initial diagnosis of respective cardiac disease (wtATTR-CM, HF) after the 6th decade of life; or no cardiac disease (healthy control) 3. Willingness and ability to provide signed informed consent form (ICF) 4. Age \> 60 years Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of severe chronic illness limiting the ability to perform physical activity during the 3rd to 6th decade 2. A diagnosis of dementia or cognitive impairment 3. Any other reason resulting in the inability to perform the questionnaire and/or interview 4. Known disease-causing variant (pathogenic or likely-pathogenic) in the TTR gene * defined as an individual without one of the following diagnoses: * Cardiomyopathy of any origin, defined as a myocardial disorder with structural and functional abnormalities in the absence of coronary artery disease, hypertension, valvular disease, and congenital heart disease sufficient to cause the observed myocardial abnormality; or * Heart failure regardless of aetiology, defined as presence of distinct cardinal symptoms (e.g. breathlessness, ankle swelling, fatigue) that may be accompanied by signs (e.g. elevated jugular venous pressure, peripheral oedema), due to a structural and/or functional abnormality of the heart, regardless of systolic function or aetiology; or * Clinically significant coronary artery disease, defined as 1) a history of coronary intervention; or 2) inducible myocardial ischemia and ischaemic chest pain (angina pectoris) due to flow-limiting stenoses, diffuse atherosclerotic lesions, structural abnormalities, congenital anomalies, dynamic epicardial vasospasm; or * Clinically significant valvular heart disease, defined as 1) a history of valvular surgery or intervention; or 2) moderate or severe stenosis or regurgitation; or * Hypertrophic phenotype defined as enddiastolic maximal wall thickness ≥ 15mm; or * History of arrhythmias or significant conduction disease, defined as ventricular brady- or tachyarrhythmias, atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation, sick sinus syndrome, or atrioventricular block greater than 1st degree block; or * History of sudden cardiac arrest, defined as sudden cessation of normal cardiac activity with haemodynamic collapse
