Oxford - Fibrates in Aortic Stenosis

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Aortic stenosis (AS) is characterised by left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and altered myocardial substrate metabolism. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARα), a regulator of lipid metabolism is deactivated in pressure overload hypertrophy such as in AS and can lead to dysregulation of fatty acid oxidation, myocardial triglyceride accumulation (steatosis) and lipotoxicity. The investigators propose a proof-of-concept study to investigate the effect of altering myocardial triglyceride (MTG) using a PPARα agonist, fenofibrate on cardiac physiology in patients with asymptomatic moderate-severe AS. The primary endpoint is a change in MTG assessed by magnetic resonance spectroscopy at baseline and after 6 months of treatment. Exploratory endpoints are changes in cardiac physiology including myocardial deformation (strain) as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The investigators hypothesise that pharmacological reduction of MTG with a PPARα agonist will result in steatosis regression and changes in cardiac physiology.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a single-centre, proof-of-concept study to investigate the effect of altering MTG content using fenofibrate on cardiac physiology in patients with asymptomatic moderate-severe AS. All patients will participate in a randomised, double-blind, placebo- controlled design for 6 months. AS will be graded according to the British Society of Echocardiography's transthoracic echocardiography guidelines. Sixty two eligible patients will be recruited in total, of which forty nine patients will be randomised to receive 200 mg daily oral fenofibrate and thirteen patients will receive matching placebo for 6 months. All patients will undergo 1H-MRS to assess MTG, 31P-MRS to assess myocardial energetic (Phosphocreatine-to-ATP ratio - PCr/ATP), standard cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to assess LV strain, LV mass, late gadolinium enhancement (fibrosis), physiological exercise assessments to measure maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) and 6-minute walking distance. Bloods will be drawn for cholesterol, renal and liver function, glucose and free fatty acids. All tests will be done at baseline and after 6 months' treatment with fenofibrate/placebo. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
