About this study

Official title: Acute Effect of Inhaled Nitric Oxide on Pulmonary Insufficiency in Congenital Heart Disease

Inhaled nitric oxide in patients with pulmonic valve insufficiency.

Read the detailed description

Pulmonic valve insufficiency (PI) is a well-defined problem after primary surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Though well-tolerated for years, long-term PI can lead to structural changes in the right ventricle, the sequelae of which include right heart failure, arrhythmia, and sudden cardiac death. The only current treatment for severe symptomatic PI is pulmonic valve replacement. We hypothesize that inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), a selective pulmonary vasodilator, can acutely decrease PI as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Methods: 22 consecutive patients with PI in the setting of corrected TOF or post pulmonic valve balloon valvuloplasty will undergo a clinically indicated CMR. Nitric oxide gas will be delivered via facemask through a specialized delivery device at 40ppm. After 5 minutes, flow velocity mapping and gradient echo sequences will be repeated to assess pulmonary regurgitant fraction, right ventricular volumes, and ejection fraction. Nitric oxide will be discontinued after acquisition of the last picture. Wilcoxon rank-sum for paired data will be used to assess effect of intervention. Significance: If decreasing pulmonary vascular resistance decreases PI, medical therapy with long-acting pulmonary vasodilators may be an attractive therapeutic option with the goal of delaying or even obviating pulmonic valve replacement.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing iNO administered in people with Pulmonary Insufficiency, run by The Cleveland Clinic 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 3 inclusion and 18 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2017. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Investigator left institution). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

pulmonary regurgitant volume and fraction (time frame: Single time point). 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 NCT00543933, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jan 2017.
