Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Wild-Type & Variant Cardiac

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Specific, standardized, comprehensive, universally accepted Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are currently lacking for variant and wild-type cardiac amyloid transthyretin amyloidosis (v-ATTR/wt-ATTR). Our goal is then to create two scores able to provide a cumulative assessment of cardiac involvement, peripheral neuropathy (in v-ATTR), and comorbidities, and their impact on the quality of life.

In the setting of a nationwide collaboration involving 5 main Italian referral centers for this condition (in Ferrara, Florence, Pavia, Pisa and Messina), a panel will be created, including experts of ATTR cardiomyopathy, neurologists, geriatricians, health management specialists, as well as patients with either variant or wild-type ATTR cardiomyopathy (n=50).

The most clinically relevant domains for patients (such as physical limitations, symptoms, self-efficacy and knowledge, social interference, quality of life, age-related issues, social and family environment, frailty, comorbidities) will be identified. Two sets of 30 items (one for variant and another for wild-type ATTR cardiomyopathy) will be created in collaboration with patients. Questions will be formatted for gender neutrality, clarity, interpretability, and possible foreign language translations. PROMs scores will be validated through administration to around 250 consecutive outpatients. Score performance will be evaluated in terms of internal consistency, response to clinical changes, comparison with conventional clinical measures. The time needed for completion, the clarity of questions and the need for assistance from a family caregiver will be evaluated.

This project will hopefully lead to the identification of disease-specific metrics that may serve as a clinically meaningful outcome in cardiovascular research, patient management, and quality assessment.

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.
