About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double Blinded Placebo Controlled Cross-over Study of Low Dose B-type Natriuretic Peptide (Nesiritide) With or Without Concomitant Phosphodiesterase V (PDE V) Inhibition(Sildenafil) in Congestive Heart Failure Patients With Renal Dysfunction

The purpose of the study is to show that low dose recombinant BNP coupled with phosphodiesterase V inhibition will improve renal dysfunction and promote relief of volume overload in patinets with acute decompensated heart failure complicated by the cardiorenal syndrome.

Read the detailed description

Renal dysfunction is a common comorbidity, as well as a common and progressive complication, of heart failure (HF). Increasingly, the clinical syndrome of HF is one of "cardiorenal" failure owing to the frequent presentation of combined cardiac and renal dysfunction. Recent studies have established the prognostic importance of renal dysfunction in patients with chronic HF. An analysis of the patients in the second prospective randomized study of Ibopamine on mortality and efficacy (PRIME) by Hillege et al1 demonstrated that estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the most powerful predictor of mortality, exceeding functional status and ejection fraction (EF).

In an ongoing prospective study, we are assessing the neurohumoral and renal hemodynamic profile of hospitalized patients with ADHF who do or do not develop the CRS. Our preliminary findings suggest that indeed the combination of pronounced activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), decreased renal perfusion pressure and importantly, a relative deficiency of the natriuretic peptides (despite marked volume overload) predisposes to the development of CRS.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the efficacy of low dose BNP alone vs low dose BNP + PDE V inhibition in improving renal function in patients with CHF and renal dysfunction. (Calculated creatinine clearance = or < than 60 ml/min and > 30 ml/min, within 12 months.)

    Measured: prospective

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. We also want to characterize both plasma and urinary humoral profile in these patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing low dose Nesiritide and nesiritide, Sildenafil in people with Congestive Heart Failure and Renal Dysfunction, run by Mayo Clinic at 2 sites 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 6 inclusion and 18 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 24 Sep 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 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: started a NIH study that is competing for same subjects). 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 determine the efficacy of low dose BNP alone vs low dose BNP + PDE V inhibition in improving renal function in patients with CHF and renal dysfunction. (Calculated creatinine clearance = or < than 60 ml/min and > 30 ml/min, within 12 months.) (time frame: prospective). 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 24 Sep 2010.
