Study population: male and female adults confirmed as eligible according to eligibility criteria.

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 and older
  • Subjects willing and able to give written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Emergency (non-elective) admission within 24 h prior to participating in the study

About this study

Official title: A Pivotal Study for the Assessment of the Quality of Echocardiographic Clips When Obtained by Novice Users While Using the UltraSight Echocardiography Guidance (USEG) Software.

This study main objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the UltraSight AI Guidance software. The investigational product is a software that guides the user to capture a high quality ultrasound image. The study will include healthcare professionals, not specialized in echocardiography, who will perform echocardiography by using UltraSight AI Guidance software, on subjects in the medical centers cardiac units.

Read the detailed description

This pivotal study is a multi-center, multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) study, designed to assess the quality of the clips obtained by novice users when using the UltraSight AI Guidance software. Prior to the study start, there will be a pre-study training phase for training the novice users.

During the study, eligible subject will undergo the echocardiography examination twice on a single study visit (same day): once by one of the novice users when using the UltraSight AI Guidance software, and once by an expert sonographer without the aid of the software.

Each novice user will perform the examination on at least 20 subjects (with the aim that the number of examinations by each novice will be similar). All examinations will be sent to multiple Board certified cardiologists for their quality evaluations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the echo examination sufficiency.

    The expert cardiologists will evaluate whether the echo examination quality obtained by novice users has sufficient to evaluate each of the primary endpoints:

    1. Sufficient quality to assess Left Ventricular (LV) size: (YES/NO)
    2. Sufficient quality to assess LV function: (Yes/No)
    3. Sufficient quality to assess Right Ventricular size: (Yes/No)
    4. Sufficient quality to assess presence of non-trivial pericardial effusion: (Yes/No)

    Measured: 1 year.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluation of the echo examination quality.

    The expert cardiologists will evaluate whether the echo examination performed by novice users has sufficient quality to evaluate the following six (6) anatomic elements:

    1. Qualitative visual assessment of RV function: (Yes/No)
    2. Qualitative visual assessment of left atrium size: (Yes/No)
    3. Qualitative visual assessment of Aortic valve structure: (Yes/No)
    4. Qualitative visual assessment of Mitral valve structure: (Yes/No)
    5. Qualitative visual assessment of Tricuspid valve structure: (Yes/No)
    6. Qualitative visual assessment of IVC size: (Yes/No)

    Measured: 1 year.

  2. Evaluation of the echo examination diagnostic quality.

    The expert cardiologists will evaluate if each of the following 10 views taken by novice users can be considered of diagnostic quality:

    • Apical 4 chamber
    • Apical 2 chamber
    • Apical 3 chamber
    • Apical 5 chamber
    • Para Sternal Long Axis
    • Para Sternal short axis - Aortic Valve (AV)
    • Para Sternal short axis - Mitral Valve (MV)
    • Para Sternal short axis - Papillary Muscle (PM)
    • Sub Costal - 4 chamber
    • Sub Costal - Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) In order to assess intra-cardiologist variability, a repeated assessment of the expert cardiologist analysis will be done in 10% of the exams.

    Measured: 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Disease, run by UltraSight at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 11 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 7 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Israel. 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?

Evaluation of the echo examination sufficiency. (time frame: 1 year.). 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 7 Dec 2022.
