Trial Review

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The BioHEART-Fabry study seeks to understand the prevalence of heart involvement in participants with Fabry disease. In addition, participants will undergo a research blood draw that will be used to generate a detailed molecular endotype of Fabry disease participants, including genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and cell biomic. The molecular analyses will be applied to an assay to identify "myocardial-vulnerable" Fabry patients.

BioHEART-Fabry participants will complete a questionnaire at the time of enrolment, which is expected to take approximately 10 minutes. If the participant is having a clinically indicated cardiac MRI (CMR), a blood draw of approximately 30mL will be completed at the time of the CMR. If the participant is not having a CMR, a blood draw will occur at the time of enrolment. Participants will not receive a copy of the results of the research blood draw.

Participants will follow-up with the research team one (1) year after enrolment and complete a second questionnaire, that is expected to take approximately 10 minutes.
