Trial summary

The Company's proprietary products are based on Orqis Medical's hypothesis, supported by early clinical data, that increasing and maintaining continuous blood flow in the descending aorta, known as continuous aortic flow augmentation or CAFA, improves hemodynamics in heart failure patients.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients hospitalized due to decompensated heart failure who require IV inotropic and/or vasodilator and diuretic therapy
  • Patients receiving appropriate medical therapy for heart failure, defined as ACE inhibitors and beta blockers (all unless not tolerated or contraindicated) and diuretics, for 1 month prior to study entry
  • For at least 24 hours prior to inclusion into the study, the patient should be treated with a minimum dose of the following: dobutamine 2.5μg/kg/min or milrinone 0.3μg/kg/min or dopamine 5μg/kg/min. or nesiritide 0.01μg/kg/min or nitroglycerin 0.3 µg/kg/min or nitroprusside 0.3 µg/kg/min or a combination of any of these agents, with diuretic therapy. Doses of the above stated medications should be stable for 6 hours prior to inclusion into study. An increase in this dosage within the first 8 hours after enrollment is determined by the attending physician to be unlikely and the following definition of "not responding adequately to IV inotropic and/or vasodilator and diuretic therapy" is exhibited:
  • PCWP is ≥ 20 mmHg at time of randomization and PCWP was ≥ 18 mmHg continuously for 24 hours or PCWP ≥ 20 mmHg continuously for 12 hours prior to randomization.
  • Cardiac Index < 2.4 L/min/m2
  • There is evidence for abnormal renal function and/or diuretic resistance defined as: Serum creatinine > 1.2 mg/dL or Diuretic dosage of intravenous Furosemide ≥ 120 mg daily, or equivalent
Show all 11Show fewer
  • LVEF < 35%

  • History of severe COPD as defined as FEV1 < 1.0 liter
  • History of malignant arrhythmias defined as either:
Show all 23Show fewer
  • sustained ventricular tachycardia > 15 beats or more in length, not associated with a correctable cause, within the preceding 3 months, unless the patient presently has an implantable cardiac defibrillator.
  • history of ventricular fibrillation or sudden death, unless the patient presently has an implantable cardiac defibrillator
  • Patients implanted with a resynchronization device within the previous 14 days or if there is a possibility of implant within 60 days following randomization
  • Systolic pressure <80 mmHg
  • Requiring cardiopulmonary support type devices
  • Platelets < 50,000/mm3 or other evidence of coagulopathy, INR greater than 1.5 in the absence of anticoagulation therapy.
  • Infection (WBC ≥ 12.5 x 103/ml, and or temperature ≥ 100.5°F/38°C)
  • History of cerebral vascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attacks (TIA) within the last 3 months
  • Unwilling or unable to receive blood transfusion
  • Inability to undergo treatment with heparin
  • Patients on dialysis or serum creatinine > 4.0 mg/dl
  • Primary liver disease with bilirubin, SGOT, or SGPT > 4X upper limit of normal
  • Life expectancy from other disease < 12 months
  • Patients who are active on the cardiac transplantation waiting list, unless there is a documented reason (large body habitus, highly sensitized, O blood group) to anticipate that transplant is unlikely within the subsequent 65 days.
  • Symptomatic patent foramen ovale or intracardiac shunt
  • Patients diagnosed with clinically significant peripheral vascular disease, defined as absent pedal pulse or signs or symptoms of limb ischemia, including a history of intermittent claudication
  • Patients with amyloidosis, thyroid induced heart failure, high output failure secondary to an arterio-venous fistula, and significant uncorrected primary valvular disease (with the exception of mitral regurgitation believed secondary to LV dilatation)

About this study

Official title: MOMENTUM: Multicenter Trial of the Orqis Medical CRS for the Enhanced Treatment of CHF Unresponsive to Medical Therapy

The Company's proprietary products are based on Orqis Medical's hypothesis, supported by early clinical data, that increasing and maintaining continuous blood flow in the descending aorta, known as continuous aortic flow augmentation or CAFA, improves hemodynamics in heart failure patients. The clinical impact of the hemodynamic improvement is currently being evaluated to determine the effects of CAFA on stopping or reversing the progression of heart failure through three physiological effects:

  • VASCULAR - Reducing systemic vascular resistance
  • RENAL - Improving renal function
  • CARDIAC - Reducing cardiac workload

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous Aortic Flow Augmentation in people with Heart Failure, Congestive, run by Orqis Medical Corporation 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 11 inclusion and 23 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Dec 2009. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Projected neutral significance for primary composite efficacy endpoint.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Alive, Number of days out of the hospital, not on mechanical assistance over 35 day period. (time frame: 35 days). 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 NCT00357591, which also lists 2 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 25 Dec 2009.
