Trial summary

The isolated response of the carotid bodies to local stimulation with adenosine has not been researched in humans. There are single reports indicating that intravenous administration of adenosine causes hyperventilation through activating the carotid bodies. Read more about this study

About this study

The isolated response of the carotid bodies to local stimulation with adenosine has not been researched in humans. There are single reports indicating that intravenous administration of adenosine causes hyperventilation through activating the carotid bodies.

Adenosine will be injected intraarterially during invasive treatment (percutaneous carotid artery stenting, CAS) or diagnostic (arteriography) procedures and their conduct will only slightly influence the standard scheme of the procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Adenosine in people with Heart Failure and Peripheral Chemoreceptor Hypersensitivity, run by Noblewell at 1 site in Poland.

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 5 inclusion and 20 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 17 Oct 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 Poland. 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.

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?

Ventilation at rest (time frame: 30 minutes). 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 NCT01939912, 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 17 Oct 2016.
