  6. Pharmacokinetics of RLX030: area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUCinf)

    Blood will be collected from an in dwelling catheter.

    Measured: During 20 hours of infusion and 24 hours after stop of infusion

  7. Pharmacokinetics of RLX030: area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast)

    Blood will be collected from an in dwelling catheter.

    Measured: During 20 hours of infusion and 24 hours after stop of infusion

  8. Pharmacokinetics of RLX030: serum concentration over 20 hours of infusion (C20h)

    Blood will be collected from an in dwelling catheter.

    Measured: During 20 hours of infusion and 24 hours after stop of infusion

  9. Pharmacokinetics of RLX030: terminal elimination half-life (T1/2)

    Blood will be collected from an in dwelling catheter.

    Measured: During 20 hours of infusion and 24 hours after stop of infusion

  10. Pharmacokinetics of RLX030: mean residence time (MRT)

    Blood will be collected from an in dwelling catheter.

    Measured: During 20 hours of infusion and 24 hours after stop of infusion

  11. Pharmacokinetics of RLX030: volume of distribution at steady state following intravenous administration

    Blood will be collected from an in dwelling catheter.

    Measured: During 20 hours of infusion and 24 hours after stop of infusion

  12. Change over time on calculated creatinine clearance

    Urine samples will be collected for analyses.

    Measured: During 20 hours of infusion and 4 hours after stop of infusion

  13. Change over time in Diuresis

    Urine samples will be collected for analyses.

    Measured: During 20 hours of infusion and 4 hours after stop of infusion

  14. Central aortic systolic pressure-time curve

    A cuff will be used for a brachial blood pressure measurement and a wrist sensor for arterial pulse waveforms

    Measured: During 20 hours of infusion and 24 hours after stop of infusion

  15. Radial augmentation index-time curve

    A cuff will be used for a brachial blood pressure measurement and a wrist sensor for arterial pulse waveforms

    Measured: During 20 hours of infusion and 24 hours after stop of infusion

  16. Number of patients with adverse events, serious adverse events and death

    Adverse events will be assessed by signs/symptoms, clinical laboratory and electrocardiographs.

    Measured: During 20 hours of infusion and 24 hours after stop of infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RLX030 in people with Acute Heart Failure, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 20 sites in 6 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in Russia, Germany, Argentina, Poland, Italy and 1 more country. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Peak change from baseline of PCWP (pulmonary capillary wedge pressure) (time frame: baseline, after 8 and 20 hrs treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01543854, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Aug 2014.
