About this study

Official title: Single-center Prospective Clinical Trial to Validate the Performance of the Aktiia Optical Blood Pressure Monitoring (OBPM) Device at the Wrist Against Double Auscultation

This study with N = 225 participants (1 cohort of a minimum of 85 and maximum of 140 participants, and an additional cohort with 85 participants) over 9 visits has been designed to assess the accuracy of Aktiia.product-us systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements against double-auscultation reference measurements. In order to induce blood pressure changes and to simulate ambulatory scenarios, the study participants will be asked to perform a set of activities, involving body position changes and physical exercises. Additionally, this study will compare the heart rate measured by Aktiia.product-us against the reference readings provided by a finger pulse oximeter (as per ISO80601-2-61). The reliability of the auscultation readings will be controlled with simultaneous volume-clamp measurements.

Read the detailed description

According to the World Health Organization, by 2025 hypertension will affect 1.5 billion adults worldwide. Half of the adult population suffering from hypertension is currently not diagnosed and half of the treated population is not at the defined target of BP.

Widespread use of out-of-office Blood Pressure measurement is one of the proposed strategies to fight against hypertension worldwide.

Aktiia S.A. has developed an intermittent automated non-invasive cuffless blood pressure monitor, determining the values of the systolic blood pressure, the diastolic blood pressure and the heart rate. This miniature device is comfortably positioned with a bracelet on a user's wrist.

The goal of this study is to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness with Aktiia OBPM system for monitoring blood pressure in home use.

In particular, the study will collect data from subjects by means of the device under test and collect data from subjects by means of double-auscultation, pulse oximetry and volume-clamp BP reading while subjects wear the devices at different body positions and induce Blood Pressure changes, during eight visits that will be held over the span of seven days, and generate performance reports.

What is being measured

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

  1. Blood pressure mean value of differences

    The mean value of the differences between Aktiia.product-us and double auscultation blood pressure measurements.

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Blood pressure standard deviation of differences

    The standard deviation of the differences between Aktiia.product-us and double auscultation blood pressure measurements.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Heart rate root-mean-square error

    The root-mean-square difference between the Aktiia.product-us heart rate determinations and the reference method.

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aktiia.product-us in people with Hypertension and Blood Pressure, run by Aktiia SA at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 5 inclusion and 19 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 19 Aug 2024. 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 Switzerland. 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 Josep Sola, PhD (+41797689800, josep@aktiia.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Blood pressure mean value of differences (time frame: 1 week). The study lists 2 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 19 Aug 2024.
