    Impedance Measurement every 4 hours

What is being measured

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

  1. Impedance Measurement of Patients in Heart Failure, impedance change first to last measurement

    Measured: every 4 hours up to 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Accuracy of Respiratory rate determined by impedance measurements

    Measured: every 4 hours up to 48 hours

  2. Correlation between hemodynamic (central venous or arterial pressure) and impedance measurements (optional)

    Measured: every 4 hours up to 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Akern BIA101 and Custom Device in people with Heart Failure, run by Medtronic BRC at 3 sites in 3 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 3 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Czechia, Germany, Slovakia. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Enrollment rate too low; rate much under estimation of sponsor and investigators). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Impedance Measurement of Patients in Heart Failure, impedance change first to last measurement (time frame: every 4 hours up to 48 hours). 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 4 Jul 2014.
