Trial summary

Heart needs constant supply of energy to continue working. Phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy allows us to measure energy produced in the heart. The purpose of this study is to determine if the energy production is reduced in failing heart. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: 31P Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of Heart

Heart needs constant supply of energy to continue working. Phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy allows us to measure energy produced in the heart. The purpose of this study is to determine if the energy production is reduced in failing heart.

Read the detailed description

We will use non-invasive phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique to measure creatine kinase (CK) flux in failing heart. The studies will be done on Siemens 3.0T human system. We will recruit subjects with LV dysfunction due to prior anterior wall myocardial infarction.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MR Spectroscopy in people with Left Ventricular Dysfunction, run by Washington University School of Medicine 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2020. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Aug 2020). 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?

An MR Spectroscopy Showing Signal to Noise Ratio to Determine the Level of Heart Failure (time frame: 1-2 days). 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 NCT01110395, which also lists 4 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 7 Aug 2020.
