About this study

Official title: Comparative Effects of Conivaptan and Loop Diuretics on Plasma Neurohormones and Systemic and Renal Hemodynamics in Subjects With Chronic Congestive Heart Failure

The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of conivaptan and diuretics on renal blood flow and neurohormones.

Read the detailed description
  1. To define the hemodynamic, neurohormonal and renal responses to intravenous conivaptan in patients with chronic stable heart failure (HF), and compare these responses to those after intravenous furosemide.
  2. To define the hemodynamic, neurohormonal and renal responses to the combination of the two drugs (conivaptan and furosemide).
Conditions

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • ConivaptanDrug

    Also called vaprisol

    Conivaptan 20 mg IV bolus followed by a 4 hour infusion at 1.2 mg/hr

  • FurosemideDrug

    Also called Lasix

    Furosemide will be given IV at the subjects usual oral dose up to 80 mg. If the dose is 80 mg or more only 1/2 the dose will be given IV.

  • Conivaptan and furosemideDrug

    Also called vaprisol, lasix

    Furosemide bolus first; conivaptan 20 mg IV bolus/infusion at 1.2 mg/hour for a total of 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conivaptan, Furosemide and Conivaptan and furosemide in people with Heart Failure, run by Hennepin County Medical Center, Minneapolis 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 9 inclusion and 5 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 18 Jun 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Shari Mackedanz, RN BSN (612-347-5195, shari.mackedanz@hcmed.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

renal hemodynamics renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate (time frame: measured on days 1, 2, 3). 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 NCT00924014, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Jun 2009.
