About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Crossover Study Evaluating The Safety, Hemodynamic And Neurohumoral Effects of a Novel Chimeric Peptide, CD-NP, in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist

The most promising chimeric natriuretic peptide designed and studied by our group has been CD-NP which has anti-fibrotic and cardioprotective properties in vivo, vitro and in normal volunteers and human heart failure patients. Since left ventricular assist device (LVAD) can not reverse remodeling of the heart whereas it can improve hemodynamics, CD-NP may be novel anti-fibrotic and anti-remodeling drug as co-therapy during LVAD support.

Read the detailed description

This study is a double blind, placebo-controlled phase I trial of the safety and neurohumoral activity of CD-NP, in the treatment of heart failure with LVAD support. Subjects more than 3 months after LVAD implantation will be screened at outpatient clinic visit appointments lists and interested qualified subjects will be either confronted at a visit or sent a letter in the mail to be consented and offered participation in this trial. Once consent has been obtained, baseline values will be established at day 1 and subjects will be given subcutaneous injection of placebo or CD-NP and stay overnight on two different visits in the Clinical Research Unit (CRU). Participant's will receive both placebo and the CD-NP during the study, one per visit. A final follow-up visit for clinical assessment will be conducted over the phone at the end of the study.

Potential subjects who present to Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota for follow up clinical visit after LVAD implantation will be identified by the study coordinator. A $300 remuneration per subject will be involved to compensate for the inconvenience to the subject. A $500 reimbursement of gas mileage will be provided for those who travel.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CD-NP in people with Left Ventricular Insufficiency, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 inclusion and 18 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 30 Aug 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 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. 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 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 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?

Number of subjects with Hypotension (time frame: approx day 9). 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 30 Aug 2016.
