About this study

Official title: A Human Physiologic Study to Evaluate the Renal and Neurohumoral Effects of Dual NPR-A and NPR-B Activation With a Novel Chimeric Natriuretic Peptide (CD-NP)in Subjects With Stable Chronic Heart Failure and Moderate Renal Dysfunction

The overall aim is to conduct a human physiologic study to assess the renal and neurohumoral effects of CD-NP vs placebo in older subjects with stable chronic systolic heart failure and moderate renal dysfunction.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will evaluate the renal and neurohumoral effects of dual receptor (NPR-A and NPR-B) activation with CD-NP. This is a clinically relevant patient population who is at increased risk of developing diuretic resistance during the treatment of HF exacerbations.

Being tested
CD-NP, 5% Dextrose in Water
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in renal parameters

    Renal parameters

    • Glomerular filtration rate, tubular function
    • Renal plasma flow
    • Urine output
    • Urinary sodium and potassium excretion
    • Urinary NGAL for early, acute alterations in renal function

    Change in value = [(Value during C2 + Value during C3)/2 ] - Value during C1

    Measured: 1-hour period before drug or placebo infusion (baseline) and average of two 2-hour periods of drug or placebo infusion collected in a 5-hour period on the study day

  2. Change in hormonal parameters

    Hormonal parameters

    • Plasma cyclic GMP, ANP, BNP, NT-proBNP, CNP, renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone, and norepinephrine
    • Urinary cyclic GMP, ANP, BNP, CNP
    • Plasma and urinary CD-NP

    Change in value = [(Value during C2 + Value during C3)/2 ] - Value during C1

    Measured: 1-hour period before drug or placebo infusion (baseline) and average of two 2-hour periods of drug or placebo infusion collected in a 5-hour period on the study day

  3. Change in hemodynamic parameters

    Hemodynamic parameters

    • Mean arterial pressure, heart rate

    Change in value = [(Value during C2 + Value during C3)/2 ] - Value during C1

    Measured: 1-hour period before drug or placebo infusion (baseline) and average of two 2-hour periods of drug or placebo infusion collected in a 5-hour period on the study day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CD-NP and 5% Dextrose in Water in people with Heart Failure and Renal Insufficiency, run by John A. Schirger.

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 3 inclusion and 22 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change in renal parameters (time frame: 1-hour period before drug or placebo infusion (baseline) and average of two 2-hour periods of drug or placebo infusion collected in a 5-hour period on the study day). The study lists 3 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 17 Jun 2014.
