About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Sequential-Group, Dose-Escalation Study To Evaluate The Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Intravenous Tecadenoson Alone and in Combination With a Beta-Blocker in Adults With Rapid Atrial Fibrillation (CVT 4129)

Assess the tolerability and safety of a rapid bolus of tecadenoson at different dose levels when given alone and in combination with a beta-blocker (esmolol) in patients with atrial fibrillation to control rapid heart rate. Explore the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effects when given alone and in combination with beta-blocker (esmolol).

Being tested
Tecadenoson, Esmolol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tecadenoson and Esmolol in people with Atrial Fibrillation, run by Gilead Sciences 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 11 Mar 2014. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Adverse Events (AEs) and Graded Laboratory Abnormalities (time frame: Baseline to Day 7). 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 NCT00713401, 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 11 Mar 2014.
