About this study

Official title: Open Randomized Study of Patients With Chronic Heart Failure and Cheyne Stokes Respiration Pattern, Treated With ASV. (Adaptive Servo Ventilator).

An investigation where patients with chronic heart failure and cheyne stokes respiration, treated with adapitve servo ventilator, will improve their cardiac function and quality of life.

Read the detailed description

Chronic heart failure (HF) is one of the most important public health problems in cardiovascular medicine.

Several patients with chronic heart failure also has Cheyne Stokes respiration pattern. Earlier studies have shown that this respiration pattern improves with Adaptive servo ventilator. We wish to investigate wether this leads to improved cardiac function.

Being tested
ASV, without Autoset CS2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ASV and without Autoset CS2 in people with Heart Failure and Cheyne Stokes Respiration, run by University of Oslo at 1 site in Norway.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 Dec 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 Norway. 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?

Ejection fraction (measured with echocardiography) and inflammatory markers (time frame: 3 months). 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 Dec 2015.
