Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the impedance threshold device (ITD) attached to a facemask can increase blood pressure in patients who present to the emergency department with hypotension secondary to hypovolemia. The cause of hypovolemia could be blood loss, sepsis, or dehydration. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of an Inspiratory Impedance Threshold Device (ITD) in the Emergency Department for the Treatment of Hypotension

The purpose of this study is to determine if the impedance threshold device (ITD) attached to a facemask can increase blood pressure in patients who present to the emergency department with hypotension secondary to hypovolemia. The cause of hypovolemia could be blood loss, sepsis, or dehydration.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed to test the hypothesis that use of the ITD will result in a rapid rise in blood pressure secondary to an increase in cardiac output. Either an active or sham ITD will be applied to hypotensive patients when initially presented to the emergency department with a systolic blood pressure of <95mmHg. The main endpoint of this study will be the rise in blood pressure over the first 10 minutes of use. Based upon pre-clinical studies as well as clinical studies performed to date, we hypothesize that use of the active ITD will result in a more rapid and higher blood pressure than the sham ITD. Multiple additional clinical parameters will also be compared between the two groups of patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Impedance Threshold Device in people with Hypotension, run by Advanced Circulatory Systems 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 31 Jul 2013. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jul 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Rise in Systolic Blood Pressure Over the First 10 Minutes of Use Compared to Baseline (time frame: every 2 minutes during 10 minutes of device use). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00256724, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 31 Jul 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
