What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Omecamtiv Mecarbil in Healthy Volunteers

    The highest infusion rate tolerated by at least eight subjects. A dose was intolerable if: 1) the pattern of intolerance clearly distinguished active drug from placebo, or 2) the number of subjects intolerant of the dose level in question was at least 3 more than the number of subjects intolerant of placebo.

    Measured: 2 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline of Systolic Ejection Time at Various Omecamtiv Mecarbil Infusion Rates

    Pooled analysis of the echocardiographic measure systolic ejection time. The systolic ejection time is the period during which the aortic valve is open and blood is flowing across the valve. Echocardiograms from cohorts 1,2,3,4 were binned into either placebo group or groups based on infusion rate of omecamtiv mecarbil.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Change From Baseline of Fractional Shortening at Various Omecamtiv Mecarbil Infusion Rates

    Pooled analysis of the echocardiographic measure fractional shortening. Fractional shortening is the percentage of change from baseline in the left ventricular cavity dimension with systole. Echocardiograms from cohorts 1,2,3,4 were binned into either placebo group or groups based on infusion rate of omecamtiv mecarbil.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing omecamtiv mecarbil in people with Heart Failure, run by Cytokinetics 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 12 inclusion and 12 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 14 Oct 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 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Omecamtiv Mecarbil in Healthy Volunteers (time frame: 2 days). 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 NCT01380223, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 14 Oct 2015.
