What participants receive

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

  • Point of care ultrasound cardiac examinationOther

    The study intervention consists of a POCUS cardiac examination by site approved personal using an FDA cleared US scanner. Usual care of study participants will not be impacted.

Study groups in NCT05631977
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
POCUS acquisitionProspective noninterventional single arm study collection of cardiac POCUS examination according to prespecified acquisition protocol. Alongside POCUS images the study will also collect demographic and clinical information from the study participants and some information from the healthcare personal performing the POCUS exam (experience in US image acquisition, physician specialty or sonographer). Patient management will not be impacted, and usual care will follow the regular practices at the study site.

What is being measured

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

  1. POCUS QUALITY

    Primary endpoint: Percent of POCUS exams that attain the pre-specified POCUS image quality threshold (quality standard)

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Subgroup analysis

    Analysis of primary endpoint (POCUS exam quality) by the prespecified subgroups of age (above or below 65), gender, BMI group (below or above 25) and US device manufacturer.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diagnosis, run by Aisap LTD 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 4 inclusion and 14 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 3 Jan 2024. 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?

POCUS QUALITY (time frame: 1 month). 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 3 Jan 2024.
