Trial summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether the excretion of renal water- and salt-channels in the urine reflects the handling of water and salt in the kidneys, and whether the excretion can be used to monitor and/or predict the effects of treatment of certain heart or lung diseases.

About this study

Official title: Water-and Salt-homeostasis in Healthy Humans, and in Patients With Heart- or Lung Disease, Evaluated by the Excretion of Aquaporin-2 and Epithelial Sodium Channels in the Urine

The purpose of the study is to determine whether the excretion of renal water- and salt-channels in the urine reflects the handling of water and salt in the kidneys, and whether the excretion can be used to monitor and/or predict the effects of treatment of certain heart or lung diseases.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the study is to determine whether the excretion of renal water- and salt-channels (Aquaporin-2 and Epithelial Sodium Channels) in the urine accurately reflects the handling of water and salt in the distal tubules af the kidneys, and whether quantification of these channels in the urine is useful to monitor and/or predict the effects of pharmacologic or surgical treatment of Heart Failure and heart failure-related diseases (Aortic stenosis, acute and chronic ischemic heart disease or pulmonary hypertension)

Being tested
Pharmacologic and mechanical heart failure treatment, Aortic valve replacement, Revascularisation in Acute Coronary Syndrome, Revascularisation in chronic stable angina pectoris
Keywords
Aquaporin, Epithelial Sodium Channels, Heart Failure, Valvular heart disease, Ischemic heart disease
Medical subject headings
Heart Failure, Aortic Valve Stenosis, Myocardial Ischemia, Hypertension, Pulmonary, Heart Valve Diseases

What participants receive

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

  • Pharmacologic and mechanical heart failure treatmentDrug

  • Aortic valve replacementProcedure or surgery

    Standard aortic valve replacement as per standard criteria in the department of thoracic surgery.

  • Revascularisation in Acute Coronary SyndromeProcedure or surgery

    Standard percutaneous or surgical revascularisation in ACS.

  • Revascularisation in chronic stable angina pectorisProcedure or surgery

    Standard percutaneous or surgical revascularisation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy Volunteers and Heart Failure, run by Kolding Sygehus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2011. 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 Denmark. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ole Nyvad, M.D. (+45 76362257, ole.nyvad@slb.regionsyddanmark.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Differences in excretion of Aquaporin-2 in urine (time frame: 6 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 23 Jun 2011.
