About this study
Official title: An Evaluation of DCE-MRI Measures of Pulmonary Oedema and Vascular Permeability in Healthy Subjects and in Patients With Cardiac Failure: A Methods Validation Study for Evaluation of Novel Treatments Limiting Pulmonary Oedema in Cardiac Failure
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channel blockade may be promising in the treatment of pulmonary oedema and dyspnoea in heart failure (HF) and acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients by re-establishing the alveolar septal barrier. Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an established technique for assessing changes in vascular permeability and interstitial water volume. The aim of this study is to establish the potential utility of DCE-MRI as a novel endpoint for dose ranging and proof of mechanism studies of TRPV4 blockers. The DCE-MRI markers of vascular permeability and pulmonary oedema will be measured in subjects with HF (group 2) and healthy volunteers (HV) (group 1) at rest to determine if there is a difference between the two populations. Apart from this, exercise induced changes relative to rest in interstitial volume and exchange rate will be evaluated in both HV and subjects with HF. Additionally, the capability of DCE-MRI to detect changes in interstitial lung fluid in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) (group 3) will be investigated. DCE-MRI markers of pulmonary oedema will be assessed when patients are initially hospitalized with ADHF and subsequently after receiving standard of care treatment to determine whether differences can be detected by this methodology.This study will enrol a sufficient number of subjects to have at least 24 subjects in Group 1 and 2 (group 1:12 HV and group 2: 12 subjects with HF) and atleast 5 subjects in Group 3. For each subject, the MRI data must be of sufficient quality to enable DCE-MRI modelling from 2 Sessions. For group 1 and 2, the subjects will have screening visit and 3 MRI sessions. For the first scanning session, subjects will undergo the baseline procedure. The second imaging session will occur approximately one week later to measure within subject variability. A third imaging session (which will be conducted in 2 visits) will incorporate a bicycle exercise challenge prior to the MRI scan, and this third scan will be performed approximately one to three days after the second imaging session. For group 3: Screening will occur during hospitalization for eligibility. Session 1of MRI will be conducted while the subject is still hospitalized. Session 2 will be conducted within 4 weeks of the first scan, when the signs of pulmonary oedema are considered to be resolved. If a subject's pulmonary oedema has not resolved at Session 2, then the subject will be not be scanned by MRI at Session 2 and will be brought back for Session 3 up to 4 weeks after Session 2 for their second MRI.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing DCE-MRI scans and Gadobutrol in people with Heart Failure, Congestive, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in United Kingdom.
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 16 inclusion and 19 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 27 Feb 2019. 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 Kingdom. 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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Feb 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Interstitial Volume (ve) in Heart Failure Participants and Healthy Volunteers at Baseline (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Feb 2019.
