Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to perform ground-based research to study what happens to the heart muscle in space. People who have problems with their aortic valve have an increase in the amount of muscle in the left ventricle of the heart. After valve surgery, the amount of muscle should decrease and return to normal. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Two and Three Dimensional Echocardiography Study Protocol

The purpose of this study is to perform ground-based research to study what happens to the heart muscle in space. People who have problems with their aortic valve have an increase in the amount of muscle in the left ventricle of the heart. After valve surgery, the amount of muscle should decrease and return to normal. Astronauts lose heart muscle mass during space flight. Our study will look at these changes in your heart, which we believe are similar to what happens during long term space travel.

This study will look at the accuracy of three dimensional ultrasound imaging (echo) in monitoring the changes in heart size and function following aortic valve replacement. We are studying ways to prevent health-related problems that men and women will face on long-duration space missions.

The hypothesis is that serial two dimensional and three dimensional echo will show accurate changes in the left ventricle mass and volume following aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis or regurgitation

Diagnostic Three Dimensional Echocardiography Study Protocol

  1. Aims The overall purpose of this study is to perform ground-based research, development, and validation aimed at optimizing diagnostic ultrasound in manned spaceflight, with the following unifying hypothesis: Serial 3D ultrasound examinations will enhance diagnostic capabilities in manned spaceflight.

Specific Aims:

  1. To optimize acquisition methods for 3D sonography using reconstruction and real-time techniques
  2. To determine the utility of serial 3D ultrasound examinations in identifying renal calculi and their complications including the development and resolution of hydronephrosis and calyceal dilatation.
  3. To determine the utility of serial 2D and 3D ultrasound examinations in demonstrating cardiac remodeling (changes in cardiac dimensions, volume, mass and function) and defining its determinants after left ventricular unloading following aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis or regurgitation.
  4. To determine whether changes in plasma BNP levels accurately reflect changes in LV mass and volume.

Hypotheses:

  1. Serial 3D ultrasound examinations will allow accurate diagnosis of nephrolithiasis and tracking of complications including hydronephrosis and calyceal dilatation
  2. Serial 2D and 3D ultrasound will allow accurate tracking of changes in LV mass and volume following aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic stenosis or regurgitation.
  3. Changes in plasma BNP levels will fall in proportion to the decrease in LV mass and volume.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Valve Stenosis and Aortic Valve 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Diagnostic 2D and 3D echocardiography (time frame: 6 - 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Jan 2017.
