About this study

Official title: Comparative Effects of Recombinant Human Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Dobutamine on Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Patients With Different Blood BNP Levels

To compare the therapeutic efficacy of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) with dobutamine on acute decompensated heart failure patients with different blood BNP levels

Read the detailed description

Patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) whose left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) was <40%, were assigned to a high BNP group (BNP ≤ 3000 pg/mL) or an extra-high BNP group (BNP > 3000 pg/mL) , depending on their admission plasma BNP levels. Each group was then subdivided into rhBNP or dobutamine subgroups according to intravenous administration with either rhBNP or dobutamine for 24-72h. The effects of rhBNP and dobutamine on patients in the high and extra-high BNP groups were compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the High and Extra-high BNP Groups

    Measured: baseline and 5 days

  2. Left ventricle end diastolic dimension (LVEDD)in the High and Extra-high BNP Groups

    Measured: baseline and 5 days

  3. Blood BNP in the High and Extra-high BNP Groups

    Measured: baseline and 5 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Changes in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class from Baseline to Day 5 after Treatment

    Measured: baseline and 5 days

  2. Blood Pressure (mmHg)

    Measured: baseline and 5 days

  3. Heart Rate

    Measured: baseline and 5 days

  4. Plasma Creatinine

    Measured: baseline and 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Decompensated Heart Failure, run by Nantong University.

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 9 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 23 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the High and Extra-high BNP Groups (time frame: baseline and 5 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01837849, 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 23 Apr 2013.
