Trial summary

Ambulatory monitoring of physiological variables is important in following the health status of individuals in non-hospital controlled situations. The investigators are developing a non-invasive sensor based on dynamic light scattering that is able to measure pulse, blood flow and coagulability. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Noninvasive Ambulatory Measurements of Physiological Parameters Using a DLS-based Sensor

Ambulatory monitoring of physiological variables is important in following the health status of individuals in non-hospital controlled situations. The investigators are developing a non-invasive sensor based on dynamic light scattering that is able to measure pulse, blood flow and coagulability. Oxygen saturation can also be detected with minor modification of the apparatus. The investigators plan to validate the investigators sensor by applying it to patients in the intensive care unit, or to patients undergoing cardiac stress tests. The results of the investigators sensor will not be utilized for any therapeutic decisions, but will be collected for later comparison with conventional monitoring of pulse and oxygenation with standard monitors. The monitor is worn like a wrist watch, and will collect data into a small data storage disc for later analysis.

Read the detailed description

Subjects to be studied will be either individuals undergoing routine cardiac stress tests, or patients admitted to the pulmonary ward of Meir Hospital who are being monitored in conventional manner. Normal volunteers will also be tested, under the following conditions: at rest, while running, while performing calisthenics, and while crawling on the ground. If non-inferiority of the new sensor is established compared to the standard clinically used sensors, then additional studies will be performed on acutely ill patients, such as patients admitted with multi-trauma.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of oxygen saturation and pulse rate between our sensor and conventional sensors

    We wish to determine non-inferiority of our new sensor compared to current non-ambulatory sensors.

    Measured: 0ne year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Invasive Test of Pulse and Oxygen Saturation, run by Meir Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2012. 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 Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Louis Shenkman, AB, MD (+972-544-876600, louissh@clalit.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of oxygen saturation and pulse rate between our sensor and conventional sensors (time frame: 0ne year). 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 NCT01267513, 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 19 Mar 2012.
