Filter by:Amyloidosis by mutation of the transthyretin gene (ATTRh) is part of a group of diseases in which the deposit of structurally abnormal proteins (amyloid fibrils) affects multiple organs such as: liver, kidney, eyes, nervous system, gastrointestinal tract and heart, and, finally, it increases the morbidity and mortality of affected patients. This deposit in the myocardium is manifested syndromically as heart failure with preserved or slightly reduced systolic function, and important diastolic dysfunction. The analysis of diastolic function comprises two components: the assessment of active relaxation, dependent on preload and afterload, and the assessment of the passive properties of the tissue - its hardness or rigidity. Myocardial stiffness represents an important parameter for diagnosis and prognosis, but its evaluation is not included in conventional echocardiography. Cardiac elastography has recently been proposed as a non-invasive diagnostic modality to assess myocardial stiffness.
This study is a global, multi-center study designed to estimate the global prevalence of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) within a clinically at risk population [participants with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)].
Researchers are gathering information to see if using an FDA approved implantable device can help with monitoring of your heart arrhythmias.
See updated study design under NCT04882735. Phase 3 efficacy and safety of AG10 compared with placebo in subjects with symptomatic Transthyretin Amyloid Polyneuropathy (ATTR-PN)
This will be a systematic, combined, prospective assessment of the novel echographic, CMR, and PET imaging tools in newly-diagnosed patients with cardiac AL amyloidosis at baseline and after treatment.
Cardiac Amyloidosis (CA) is characterized by a long subclinical phase characterized by deposition of amyloid fibrils in atria, valves and walls of ventricles. Longitudinal dysfunction of the left ventricle (LV) with preserved ejection fraction (EF) is the early phase of CA. Longitudinal dysfunction mainly involves the LV basal and middle segments with less involvement of the distal segments (apical sparing). Strain echocardiography (STE) measures myocardial deformation. The technique has been shown to be sensitive for early detection of impaired systolic function and for the study of CA. Additionally, cardiac efficiency (myocardial work) can be derived from myocardial strain data analysis. In the year 2018, "RNA interferences" (patisiran and inotersen) were included in the list of compassionate therapeutic use programs for exclusive use for the treatment of adult patients with hereditary amyloidosis neuropathy. The aim of our study is to evaluate the morpho-functional modifications with RNA interferences.
Our ultimate goal is to design a multi-center randomized trial to test the hypothesis that targeted testing for transthyretin cardiac amyloid (ATTR) will improve survival and health status among aortic stenosis patients who undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The hypothesis of this pilot study is to evaluate if invasive cardiac hemodynamics obtained after TAVR, by using the AortoVentricular index (AVi), can be used as a novel test to help identify participants with ATTR. Aim 1. To determine if an abnormal AVi value can identify ATTR among aortic stenosis patients undergoing TAVR. Aim 2. To determine if s' from echocardiography plus AVi can enhance the prediction of ATTR among aortic stenosis patients undergoing TAVR. Aim 3. To design a pilot trial to improve patient outcomes after TAVR by targeted testing for ATTR.
A phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose escalation trial combining single-ascending dose and multiple-ascending dose phases of NI006 or placebo, followed by an open-label extension phase in subjects with Amyloid Transthyretin Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).
The STI-6129-001 study is a three-stage, multicenter, open-label, dose-finding, phase 1b/2a trial. It is designed primarily to identify the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of STI-6129 by assessing the safety, preliminary efficacy and pharmacokinetics of this anti-CD38-Duostatin 5.2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for the treatment of relapsed or refractory systemic AL amyloidosis. The patients that will be treated with STI-6129 in this trial are relapsed or refractory systemic AL amyloidosis patients who have received prior lines of treatment.
The objective of the study is to characterize adverse events (AEs) occurring within one day of TEGSEDI administration to adult patients with hATTR-PN overall and in individual patients with respect to time course of AE onset, vital sign changes, preventive measures, treatment required, risk factors, and subsequent adverse outcomes.
