About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of a New Transpulmonary Thermodilution Method to Assess TPTD, GEDV and EVLW

The primary objective of this study is to obtain the TPTD, GEDV and EVLW measurements from existing indwelling femoral arterial Volume View™ catheter and central venous catheters.

Read the detailed description

Transpulmonary thermodilution has been proposed to measure transpulmonary thermodilution cardiac output (TPTD), preload (GEDV, global end diastolic volume) and to quantify pulmonary edema (EVLW, extravascular lung water). The method currently available on the market is based on the estimation of time characteristics of the curve (mean transit time and down slope time).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new transpulmonary thermodilution method to assess the TPTD, EVLW and GEDV in patients requiring cardiac preload and lung water assessment. Up to one hundred (100) patients will be enrolled at four (4) study sites, (up to 25 subjects at each site). Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève, Universität Bonn, Stadtspital Triemli Zürich, and Universitätsklinikum Aachen will participate in the study.

This is a prospective, observational data collection study.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
EV1000 Observational GroupPatient must have an indwelling femoral arterial catheter and central venous catheter considered necessary for routine clinical monitoring; Patient, or legal guardian, will give consent prior to study enrollment and data capture; Patient must be at least 18 years old; Patient height and weight are available prior to study.

What is being measured

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

  1. TPTD, GEDV and EVLW measurements to evaluate the precision and accuracy of a novel algorithm in comparison to the widely accepted TPTD method

    This is not an outcome study. This is an observational Study to obtain TPTD, GEDV and EVLW data to evaluate the precision and accuracy of a novel algorithm in comparison to the widely accepted TPTD method using an approach defined by Bland-Altman.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours of femoral arterial catheter dwell time.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Output and Preload Assessment and Lung Water Assessment, run by Edwards Lifesciences at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 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 4 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Germany, Switzerland. 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?

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?

TPTD, GEDV and EVLW measurements to evaluate the precision and accuracy of a novel algorithm in comparison to the widely accepted TPTD method (time frame: Up to 72 hours of femoral arterial catheter dwell time.). 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 NCT01405040, 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 4 Apr 2013.
