About this study

Official title: An Evaluation of MRI Measures of Lung Water Increases With Postural Changes in Healthy Subjects and in Patients With Cardiac Failure: A Methods Validation Study for Evaluation of Novel Treatments Limiting Pulmonary Oedema in Cardiac Failure

The aim of this study is to establish a model for the evaluation of drug targets using postural measures to induce changes in lung water concentration as assessed by MRI. A reduction in the magnitude and rate of water transudation with postural changes in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) could provide a model for the evaluation of various classes of molecules for target validation and for dose selection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lung water distribution as measured by MRI

    MRI test

    Measured: Visit 1 and Visit 2 will be approximately 1 week apart

  2. Lung water concentration as measured by MRI

    MRI test

    Measured: Visit 1 and Visit 2 will be approximately 1 week apart

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Between patient variability in lung water concentration as measured by MRI at 2 independent visits

    MRI test

    Measured: Visit 1 and Visit 2 will be approximately 1 week apart

  2. Within patient variability in lung water concentration as measured by MRI at 2 independent visits

    MRI test

    Measured: Visit 1 and Visit 2 will be approximately 1 week apart

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MRI in people with Heart Failure, Congestive, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 17 inclusion and 21 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 2 Jun 2014. 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 Kingdom. 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 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?

Lung water distribution as measured by MRI (time frame: Visit 1 and Visit 2 will be approximately 1 week apart). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Jun 2014.
