About this study

Official title: Carvedilol SR Study for Biomarkers From Blood and Urine and Safety of in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction : a Prospective, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter, Pilot Trial (CAYMUS-HFpEF)

Beta blockers have been used to reduce the mortality and heart failure rehospitalization in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients in addition to ACEI/ARB, MRA, ivabradine and ARNI. However, the effective and safe medical therapy is not well established in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) yet. Recent meta-analysis showed that beta blockers may also be beneficial for reducing the mortality and heart failure rehospitalization in HFpEF like HFrEF. However, the clinical effect and safety of carvedilol have been largely unknown in HFpEF. Therefore, CAYMUS HFpEF is the exploratory study to assess the change of surrogate markers (NTproBNP, hsTn) when treated with carvedilol SR vs. placebo in HFpEF patients

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Carvedilol SR in people with Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 21 May 2019. 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Seok-Min Kang, MD, Ph.D (82-2-2228-8450, smkang@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Maximum NT-proBNP value change after Drug(Carvedilol SR or Placebo) administration. (time frame: Baseline). 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?
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 21 May 2019.
