Trial summary

This study will be testing two devices which are designed to detect cardiovascular disease in patients as early as possible. As there are now many therapies to prevent and treat this condition it is believed that detecting it early will help reduce the burden of the disease and permit more effective treatment.

About this study

This study will be testing two devices which are designed to detect cardiovascular disease in patients as early as possible. As there are now many therapies to prevent and treat this condition it is believed that detecting it early will help reduce the burden of the disease and permit more effective treatment.

The two devices the investigators are testing are the ViScope developed by HD Medical and a device developed by CSIRO. Both of these devices are simple, non-invasive and may provide useful information on how well the heart contracts and relaxes as well as valve function of the heart.

The investigators are planning to enroll 100 healthy subjects, 100 participants with risk factors for heart failure and 300 patients with varying types of heart failure.

The data collected from the experimental devices will be compared to the results from standard tests.

Patients will not have any of their therapies altered as part of this study.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. To validate the diagnostic ability of the two devices against echo and clinical data as the "gold standard".

    We will construct received operative characteristic (Roc) curves for sensitivity and specificity of the HD Medical ViScope and the CSIRO back scatter analysis device in detecting heart failure using echocardiogram and clinical data as the "gold standard".

    Measured: Day 1 (study day)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation of the devices with standard tests such as BP, HR and BNP.

    • Correlation of device values with echocardiogram parameters of systolic and diastolic function.
    • Correlation of device values with BNP levels.
    • Correlation of device values with heart rate variability measurements.
    • Correlation of device values with pulse wave velocity and systemic arterial compliance assessment measures.

    Measured: Day 1 (study day)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HD medical device (ViScope) and CSIRO device in people with Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Prof Henry Krum at 1 site in Australia.

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 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2015. 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 Australia. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Suspended while we determine if usable data can be collected from this device.). 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?

To validate the diagnostic ability of the two devices against echo and clinical data as the "gold standard". (time frame: Day 1 (study day)). 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 4 Jun 2015.
