What participants receive

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

  • Peripheral lineProcedure or surgery

    Ultrafiltration therapy though peripheral line, two peripheral venous catheter will be placed in the arms.

  • Central line veinProcedure or surgery

    Ultrafiltration therapy through central line, a central venous catheter will be placed in internal jugular or femoral vein.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy

    Compare patient global improvement 48 hours after initiation of scuf therapy in a group of patients with the same features treated by peripheral access against a group of patients with the same features treated by central access. This outcome will be measured by patient global assessment

    Measured: 48 hours after initiation of scuf therapy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Security

    Compare complications in acute heart failure patients treated with scuf, in a group treated by peripheral line vs central line. This outcome will be assessed by a safety score at the AE at the 5th day of the study. ( 0 : no AE and 79 understood as the worse punctuation for the AE). Every AE has a punctuation related to the seriousness.

    Measured: 5th day of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Peripheral line and Central line vein in people with Heart Failure, run by Parc de Salut Mar at 1 site in Spain.

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 11 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Apr 2016. 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 Spain. 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.

Are results available for this study?

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?

Efficacy (time frame: 48 hours after initiation of scuf therapy). 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 26 Apr 2016.
