What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Relationship Between the Occurrence of Adverse Cardiac Event and 123I-mIBG Uptake on Planar Scintigraphy Categorized as High or Low Heart to Mediastinum (H/M) Ratio

    H/M ratio for 123I-mIBG uptake at 3 hours 50 minutes post administration was calculated by dividing the counts/pixel in the total myocardium region of interest (ROI) by the counts/pixel in the 7x7 pixel mediastinal ROI. Assessments were done by 3 independent readers. H/M ratios were categorized as 'Low' and 'High' based on being <1.6 or ≥1.6 respectively. The efficacy of 123I-mIBG was based on the prognostic value of the imaging data collected relative to time to adverse cardiac events. Data analysis to assess the relative hazard of an adverse cardiac event was performed only on HF participants categorized into 2 groups with H/M <1.6 and H/M ≥1.6 using a Cox proportional hazards model.

    Measured: Approximately 24 months from the date of administration of 123I-mIBG

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 123I-mIBG (meta-iodobenzylguanidine) in people with Heart Failure, Congestive, run by GE Healthcare at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 May 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Relationship Between the Occurrence of Adverse Cardiac Event and 123I-mIBG Uptake on Planar Scintigraphy Categorized as High or Low Heart to Mediastinum (H/M) Ratio (time frame: Approximately 24 months from the date of administration of 123I-mIBG). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00126438, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Mar 2018.
