About this study

Official title: Non-Invasive Pulmonary Monitoring in Patients With Cardiogenic Pulmonary Congestion and Edema

The aim of the study is to determine the feasibility of collecting respiratory parameters during recompensation following ADHF (Acute Decompensated Heart Failure)with non-invasive measurements. This could lead to a better understanding of how respiratory parameters may change during re-compensation therapy and could also be a comfortable method for patients.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed as a single-center, open, interventional, observational study according to clause §23b of the German Medical Device Act (MPG). The study will recruit 50 patients suffering from cardiogenic pulmonary congestion and edema including ambulant patients and patients of intensive care.

We will investigate whether respiratory parameters during re-compensation are related to the therapy effects and changes in pulmonary congestion status. This study will collect data in an observational and clinical setting in the re-compensation phase of ADHF.

Correlation between measured lung and respiratory parameters and standard clinical parameters characterizing stages of re-compensation will be undertaken. Standard clinical parameters may include diuretics and other cardiac medication dose frequency, weight, heart rate, respiratory rate, chest x-rays (when routinely performed), symptoms such as shortness of breath or fatigue, biomarkers such as brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), stroke volume, cardiac output, and oxygen requirements.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between current standard clinical assessment of re-compensation and measured respiratory parameters

    stationary as well as ambulant patients with acute decompensation receive clinical standard measurements and will be measured with the help of non- invasive technology such as respiratory profile and gaz analysis, bioimpedance spectroscopy. Patients will be measured at baseline and 2 times at ward if applicable and at 3 months follow up visit. Measurements will take 1:30 hours per visit.

    Measured: about 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing non-invasive respiratory parameter measurements in people with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) and Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema (ACPE), run by RWTH Aachen University at 1 site in Germany.

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 7 inclusion and 21 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 23 Sep 2015. 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 Germany. 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 Jörg Schröder, MD (+4924180 ext. 89391, jschröder@ukaachen.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between current standard clinical assessment of re-compensation and measured respiratory parameters (time frame: about 3 months). 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 23 Sep 2015.
