Germany on Target Registry

Germany on Target Registry (DaZiR) is a prospective, Germany-wide patient registry designed to assess lipid management and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C) target attainment in adults following acute myocardial infarction (STEMI or NSTEMI).

Eligible patients are informed about the registry by treating physicians or their medical teams and receive an individual access link or QR code. Following electronic informed consent and registration, participants provide clinical and follow-up information through the brite™ platform.

Clinical data, including LDL-C values and lipid-lowering treatment, can be entered by the participants or obtained from uploaded medical documents. The platform enables participants to follow the course of their LDL-C values and provides reminders for scheduled follow-up data collection.

Medical treatment is determined independently by the treating physicians as part of routine clinical care and is not assigned by the registry. The registry aims to assess LDL-C target attainment over time, changes in lipid-lowering treatment, treatment adherence and cardiovascular outcomes following myocardial infarction.

Key information

About this study

Germany on Target Registry is a prospective patient registry investigating lipid management and cardiovascular secondary prevention following acute myocardial infarction in Germany.

Adults following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) may be informed about the registry by participating physicians and medical institutions. The role of the physicians is primarily limited to identifying potentially eligible patients, providing information about the registry and supplying an individual access link or QR code.

Following registration and electronic informed consent, further study participation is conducted through the Brite™ digital platform provided by XO Life. Participants provide follow-up information directly through the platform. Relevant laboratory values can be entered manually or obtained from medical documents uploaded by the participant.

Baseline information includes characteristics of the index myocardial infarction, LDL-C values at admission and/or discharge, lipid-lowering treatment and relevant cardiovascular risk factors and laboratory parameters. Follow-up assessments document LDL-C values, changes in lipid-lowering therapy and additional clinical information.

The primary focus of the registry is the proportion of participants achieving the predefined LDL-C target of <55 mg/dL and the maintenance of LDL-C target attainment during follow-up.

Secondary objectives include characterization of the longitudinal LDL-C course, changes and escalation of lipid-lowering therapy, treatment adherence, reported suspected adverse drug reactions and cardiovascular events during follow-up.

The registry does not prescribe a specific lipid-lowering treatment or modification of treatment. Decisions regarding pharmacological treatment remain the responsibility of the participant's treating physicians and are made according to routine clinical care.

Treatment and study plan

No Study-Assigned Intervention

Other

Participants receive medical care according to routine clinical practice. The registry does not prescribe or assign lipid-lowering treatment. Lipid-lowering therapies and subsequent treatment changes are documented as part of the observational data collection.

Primary outcomes

  1. LDL-C target attainment

    Time frame: 12 months

    The primary endpoint of the study/registry is the achievement and maintenance of the LDL-C target level recommended by the current ESC/EAS guidelines for high-risk cardiovascular patients during the follow-up period. Assessment is based on documented LDL-C measurements taken at specified time points (after 6 weeks, 3, 6, and 12 months, as well as during the subsequent long-term follow-up).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Absolute change in LDL cholesterol

    Time frame: Baseline to 60 month

    Absolute change in LDL cholesterol concentration from the baseline or discharge value to the predefined follow-up assessments.

    Unit: mg/dL

  2. Percentage change in LDL cholesterol

    Time frame: Baseline to 60 Month

    Percentage change in LDL cholesterol concentration from the baseline or discharge value to the predefined follow-up assessments.

    Unit: %

  3. Body weight

    Time frame: Baseline

    Body weight documented for registry participants. Unit: kg

  4. Body height

    Time frame: Baseline

    Body height documented for registry participants. Unit: cm

  5. Body mass index

    Time frame: Baseline

    Body mass index calculated from documented body weight and height. Unit: kg/m²

  6. HDL cholesterol concentration

    Time frame: Baseline to 60 month

    High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) cholesterol concentration documented during registry follow-up.

    Unit: mg/dL

  7. Triglyceride concentration

    Time frame: Baseline to 60 mionth

    Triglyceride concentration documented during registry follow-up.

  8. Lipoprotein(a) concentration

    Time frame: Baseline

    Lipoprotein(a) concentration documented during registry follow-up. Unit: nmol/L or mg/dL

  9. HbA1c

    Time frame: Baseline to 60 month

    Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) value documented during registry follow-up. Unit: %

  10. hsCRP

    Time frame: Baseline to 60 month

    High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) concentration documented during registry follow-up.

    Unit: mg/L

  11. Blood pressure

    Time frame: Baseline

    Systolic and diastolic blood pressure documented during registry follow-up. Unit: mmHg

  12. Changes in lipid-lowering therapy during follow-up

    Time frame: Baseline to 60 month

    Proportion of participants with a documented change in lipid-lowering therapy during follow-up, including initiation, discontinuation, substitution, or modification of lipid-lowering medication.

  13. Proportion of participants with documented intensification of lipid-lowering therapy

    Time frame: Baseline to 60 month

    Proportion of participants with documented intensification of lipid-lowering therapy during follow-up.

  14. Participant-reported adherence to prescribed lipid-lowering therapy

    Time frame: Baseline to 60 month

    Participant-reported adherence to prescribed lipid-lowering therapy during registry follow-up.

  15. Occurrence of cardiovascular events during follow-up

    Time frame: Baseline to 60 month

    Proportion of participants experiencing at least one cardiovascular event during registry follow-up. Cardiovascular events are defined as recurrent ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), recurrent non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), ischemic stroke, or unplanned coronary revascularization.
