About this study

Official title: Biomarkers Plus Bioimpedance Vector Analysis to Predict Cardiorenal Syndrome Onset and Prognosis in Patients With Acutely Decompensated Heart Failure: Biomonitoring and Cardiorenal Syndrome in Heart Failure(BIONICS-HF) Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of a non-invasive monitor that measures how much fluid is in the body as well as various blood tests for their ability to predict worsening kidney function in patients with heart failure.

Read the detailed description

Our specific aims are to:

  1. Evaluate the individual and collective ability of pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP), soluble (s)ST2, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) for predicting in-hospital worsening renal function (WRF) in patients evaluated in emergency department (ED)with acutely decompensated heart failure (ADHF)compared to a model of clinical variables alone.
  2. Evaluate the individual and collective ability of NT-proBNP, sST2, NGAL, and BIVA for identifying the correct cause of in-hospital WRF in patients evaluated in the ED with ADHF.
  3. Evaluate the individual and collective ability of NT-pro-BNP, sST2, NGAL, and BIVA for predicting outcomes (all-cause death, all-cause re-hospitalization, initiation of renal replacement therapy by 180 days) in patients with ADHF.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiorenal Syndrome and Acute Decompensated Heart Failure, run by Massachusetts General Hospital at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 24 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 2 sites in United States, Italy. 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 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?

the onset of Worsening renal function following admission (time frame: From beginning of hospitalization to a follow up of 60 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 NCT01570153, which also lists 22 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 24 Mar 2014.
