About this study

Official title: Single-dose rtPA Thrombolysis Endovascular Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism With Right Ventricular Dysfunction:a Pilot Study

To assess the efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombolysis of pulmonary embolism with right ventricular dysfunction with single-dose rtPA

Read the detailed description

The patients with right ventricular dysfunction who are diagnosed by CT pulmonary angiography will receive 20 mg of single-dose recombinant tissue plasminogen activator delivered through the in this study. The Change of RV to LV Diameter Ratio,Rate of death,rate of major bleeding,pulmonary embolism recurrence at 1month will be reviewed to assess the efficacy and safety.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of RV to LV Diameter Ratio

    Determine whether single-dose rtpa catheter-directed thrombolysis decrease the ratio of right ventricular (RV)-to-left ventricular (LV) diameter within 1month in patients with right ventricular dysfunction

    Measured: baseline and 30days after baseline

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Rate of death

    Measured: 30days

  2. Rate of major Bleeding

    Measured: 30days

  3. Pulmonary embolism recurrence

    Measured: 30days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in people with Pulmonary Embolism and Acute Pulmonary Embolism, run by Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 10 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 30 Nov 2020. 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 China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

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?

Change of RV to LV Diameter Ratio (time frame: baseline and 30days after baseline). 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 30 Nov 2020.
