What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SalbutamolDrug

    The initial dose will be 0.5mg bid, with acceleration of the dose every two weeks by 1mg, up to a maximal dose of 2mg bid or an increase in heart rate by 50% above the baseline heart rate, as long as it remains <100 bpm

Study groups in NCT01447069
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SalbutamolActive comparatorThe patients in the study groups will receive the selective β2 agonist, Salbutamol, in addition to their ongoing optimal heart failure therapy.
Receives: Drug: Salbutamol
controlNo interventionThe patients in the control group will continue with their regular optimal medical therapy without any intervention.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in plasma level of N-terminal pro-BNP at twelve weeks relative to baseline pro-BNP.

    Measured: 12 weeks from baseline pro-BNP assessment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Adverse cardiovascular event: Death, ICD discharge, significant ventricular arrhythmias and hospitalization due to heart failure exacerbation

    Record events of death, ICD discharge and hospitalization due to heart failure exacerbation. Interrogate ICD memory for significant ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation) that did not cause ICD discharge.

    Measured: 12 weeks after baseline assessment

  2. NYHA class changes

    We will assess NYHA functional class at baseline and after 12 weeks from the beginning of study medication.

    Measured: 12 weeks after baseline assessment

  3. Echocardiography parameters changes

    END-SYSTOLIC DIAMETER: _ _ _ MM END-DIASTOLIC DIAMETER: _ _ _ MM LVEF (SIMPSON'S) : _____% Left atrial diameter: ____MM Left atrial area:______cm2 dP/dT: ___32/∆t (mm Hg/msec) E/A: ___ E': ___ cm/s E/E': _____ E wave deceleration time:_____msec Isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT):_____msec

    Dimensionless myocardial performance index (MPI) (n<0.4) :

    MPI=(TST-ET)/ET TST- total systolic time -from the end of mitral inflow A wave to the beginning of mitral inflow E wave ET - ejection time - time from the beginning to the end of left ventricular outflow tract Doppler envelope

    Measured: 12 weeks after baseline assessment

  4. Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire changes

    repeat Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire assessment

    Measured: 12 weeks after baseline assessment

  5. Non-ventricular arrhythmias and electrolytes disturbances

    Plain ECG will be performed at the specified time intervals to detect asymptomatic non-ventricular arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial premature beats, etc.) The venous blood will be drawn at the specified time intervals to follow closely after potassium levels (for timely detection of salbutamol induced hypokalemia and to correct accordingly), as well to monitor sodium levels as a prognostic and clinical marker of heart failure exacerbation

    Measured: baseline, 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Salbutamol in people with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and Non-ischemic Cardiomyopathy, run by Rabin 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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2011. 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 Zaza Iakobishvili, MD (972-3-937100, zazai@clalit.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in plasma level of N-terminal pro-BNP at twelve weeks relative to baseline pro-BNP. (time frame: 12 weeks from baseline pro-BNP assessment). 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 5 Oct 2011.
