About this study

Official title: CP0007: Extracorporeal Ultrafiltration (UF) vs. Usual and Customary Care for Patients With Severe Heart Failure (HF)

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of Ultrafiltration to influence the rate of hemodynamic improvement, as measured by the decline in the pulmonary artery occlusion pressure, in patients with NYHA class III/IV Heart Failure.

Read the detailed description

This study will be preformed in a specialized heart failure unit at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF) and will include both the UF-treated group and a control group receiving usual and customary care. Patients will be stratified according to renal function at the time of admission. Therapies will be guided by specific hemodynamic criteria routinely used at the study institution.

Conditions
Heart Failure, CHF
Being tested
IV loop diuretic, NxStage System One

What participants receive

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

  • IV loop diureticDrug

    Use of conventional diuretic therapy upon hospital admission for treatment of decompensated heart failure.

  • NxStage System OneDevice

    Patients treated with Extracorporeal Ultrafiltration upon hospital admission for treatment of decompensated heart failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time Required for the Pulmonary Artery Occlusion Pressure (PAOP) to be Maintained at a Value of Less Than or Equal to 18 mmHg for at Least Four Consecutive Hours (+/- 30 Minutes) During the Intervention Period.

    Measured: 4 consecutive hours (+/- 30 minutes)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to Discharge From the Heart Failure (HF) Unit, and Time to Discharge From the Hospital.

    Measured: Time from admission to endpoint achievement

  2. Total Volume Removal During the Intervention Period

    Measured: Intervention start to end.

  3. Volume Removal Rate.

    Hours of therapy required to remove 1 liter of fluid normalized to body weight.

    Measured: Intervention start to end.

  4. Composite Endpoint of Hospital Readmissions, Emergency Department Visits, and Deaths

    Number of patients experiencing at least one of the composite endpoint measures within 90 days of hospital discharge.

    Measured: Hospital discharge to 90 days after discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing IV loop diuretic and NxStage System One in people with Heart Failure and CHF, run by NxStage Medical 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 15 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 19 Jun 2012. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 19 Jun 2012). 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?

Time Required for the Pulmonary Artery Occlusion Pressure (PAOP) to be Maintained at a Value of Less Than or Equal to 18 mmHg for at Least Four Consecutive Hours (+/- 30 Minutes) During the Intervention Period. (time frame: 4 consecutive hours (+/- 30 minutes)). 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 NCT00288587, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jun 2012.
