Who may be able to join

  • Five Diagnosis Group:
  • Sex: Male or Female
  • Age range: 18 to 85
  • Qualifying medical diagnoses (5 diagnosis groups)
  • For potential subjects presenting with one of the five qualifying diagnoses, the patient presents with confirmed active medical diagnoses affecting the following systems or organs:
  • Cardiovascular system: coronary artery disease, left sided congestive heart failure with EF <50%, valvular heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension

  • Kidney: pyelonephritis, acute renal failure, or chronic renal failure stages II-V
  • Liver: viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, steatohepatitis, or cirrhosis
  • Pulmonary system: asthma, COPD, bronchitis, emphysema, or pneumonia
  • Gastrointestinal/Endocrine: inflammatory bowel disease (including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or diverticulitis), peptic ulcer disease, IBS, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, or malabsorption disorders (including Celiac Sprue); diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2)
  • The patient or legal representative is able to understand and provide signed consent for the procedure.
  • Every effort will be given to balance subjects by gender, age, and race. At least 60 subjects from each of the 5 diagnostic groups and the 1 control group will be recruited.
  • Control Group:
  • Sex: Male or Female
  • Age range: 18 to 85
  • Freedom from qualifying medical diagnoses (control group)
  • For potential subjects for the control group, the subject is free from active medical diagnoses affecting the following systems or organs:
  • Cardiovascular system: coronary artery disease, left sided congestive heart failure with EF <50%, valvular heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension
  • Kidney: pyelonephritis, acute renal failure, or chronic renal failure stages II-V
  • Liver: viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, steatohepatitis, or cirrhosis
  • Pulmonary system: asthma, COPD, bronchitis, emphysema, or pneumonia
  • Gastrointestinal/Endocrine: inflammatory bowel disease (including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or diverticulitis), peptic ulcer disease, IBS, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, or malabsorption disorders (including Celiac Sprue); diabetes (type 1 and type 2)
  • The patient or legal representative is able to understand and provide signed consent for the procedure.
  • Every effort will be given to balance subjects by gender, age, and race. At least 60 subjects from each of the 5 diagnostic groups and the 1 control group will be recruited.

About this study

The objective of this study is to determine whether the finger tip images captured by the EPIC ClearView device, when analyzed via the ClearView software, produce a Response Scale that characterizes trends consistent with known diagnoses identified by medical doctors. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that the organ system involving any of a series of known active diagnoses will be identified in the EPIC ClearView Response Scale report with the intention of providing potential triage capabilities.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01476995
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ControlsMen and women ages 18-85 lacking any medical diagnosis (as defined in the protocol) of one or more of the following systems/organs: cardiovascular system; gastrointestinal system; kidneys; liver; lungs.
Five Diagnosis GroupMen and women ages 18-85 with at least one active medical diagnosis (as defined in the protocol) of one or more of the following systems/organs: cardiovascular system; gastrointestinal system; kidneys; liver; lungs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Agreement of ClearView Scan versus Active Diagnosis

    Statistical agreement will be assessed between the 0-25 ClearView Response Scale and the physician's diagnoses recorded within the medical record, on a per-subject basis.

    Measured: At time of ClearView Scan (Single study visit only, with no follow-up. The study endpoint will be reported for day 0, the day of the study visit).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Sensitivity and Specificity of ClearView Scan versus Active Diagnosis

    Sensitivity and Specificity of the ClearView Scan relative to an active diagnosis, as the proportion of subjects with correctly captured findings amongst those with an active diagnosis and the proportion of subjects without a ClearView finding amongst those without an active diagnosis, respectively.

    Measured: Single study visit only, with no follow-up. The study endpoint will be reported for day 0, the day of the study visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Congestive Heart Failure, run by Epic Research & Diagnostics, Inc. 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 24 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2011. 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?

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?

Agreement of ClearView Scan versus Active Diagnosis (time frame: At time of ClearView Scan (Single study visit only, with no follow-up. The study endpoint will be reported for day 0, the day of the study visit).). 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 22 Nov 2011.
