Trial summary

In patients discharged following heart failure treatment, the consistency of blood volume status and components over time is unknown. The primary objective is to describe the rate of change, if any, of the plasma volume and red blood cell volume following hospitalization and discharge of patients with heart failure.

About this study

In patients discharged following heart failure treatment, the consistency of blood volume status and components over time is unknown. The primary objective is to describe the rate of change, if any, of the plasma volume and red blood cell volume following hospitalization and discharge of patients with heart failure.

Read the detailed description

Over 6 million Americans suffer from heart failure, one of the most prevalent and deadly diseases. High 30-day readmission and mortality rates have persisted despite advances in care. Clinical guidelines suggest blood volume assessment and clinical management to euvolemia or normal blood volume, but standard methods of blood volume diagnosis have been shown to be unreliable. FDA-cleared Blood volume analysis (BVA) has been used to quantify otherwise undiagnosed blood volume derangements in heart failure and other indications. Also, care guided by BVA has been demonstrated to improve inpatient heart failure readmission and mortality. A similar analysis has not previously been performed immediately following hospital discharge, though this period is understood to be challenging due to high variability of patient status, physiology, and compliance.

This is a prospective, single-center, observational open-label study. The primary objective is to quantify changes to plasma volume and red blood cell volume over a 12 week period post-discharge.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BVA-100Device

    The BVA-100 is a software package designed to calculate human blood volume using the method of tracer dilution. It uses tagged serum albumin (a commonly used tag is 131I, resulting in "131I -HSA"). Data inputs to the software come from the measured characteristics of subject blood samples (hematocrit and tracer concentration) and tracer calibration standards. The package also calculates the subject expected (or ideal) blood volume from physical parameters. Hyper- or hypovolemia, associated red blood cell volumes, and transudation rate are reported, with statistics showing the quality of the results. The subject blood samples and calibration standards are measured in a gamma counter, whose output is automatically, or manually, input to this calculation program.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Daxor Corporation at 1 site in United States.

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 6 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 29 Sep 2023. 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 United States. 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?

Quantify volume shifts in post discharge heart failure patients (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 29 Sep 2023.
