About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tolvaptan in the Treatment of Cardiac-Induced Edema in Patients With Heart Failure

A Multicenter, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Tolvaptan in the Treatment of Cardiac-Induced Edema in Patients with Heart Failure

Read the detailed description

Interventional, phase III, 2-arm parallel group, placebo-controlled, multicenter, randomized 1:1, double-blind study, comparing Tolvaptan and placebo in hospitalized HF patients with signs or symptoms of congestion at the time of randomization in spite of standard therapy.This study intends to demonstrate that a repeated 4-day treatment with Tolvaptan in addition to standard of care (SOC) is superior to SOC alone for the treatment of clinical relevant cardiac-induced volume retention parameters in patients hospitalized for worsening HF initially treated with conventional therapy including diuretics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tolvaptan in people with Cardiac-induced Edema, run by Taiwan Otsuka Pharm. Co., Ltd at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 8 inclusion and 25 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 2 Jun 2015. 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 Taiwan. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Change in body weight at 4-day of treatment. (time frame: baseline and 4-day of treatment). 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 2 Jun 2015.
