Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to see if Regadenoson may offer improved ease of use, single dose administration, and better tolerance for testing for pulmonary hypertension than iNO. You will be screened to make sure Regadenoson is safe for you with a clinical evaluation, blood tests, and an ECG. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to see if Regadenoson may offer improved ease of use, single dose administration, and better tolerance for testing for pulmonary hypertension than iNO. You will be screened to make sure Regadenoson is safe for you with a clinical evaluation, blood tests, and an ECG.

Read the detailed description

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an increase of blood pressure in the pulmonary vascular system that could cause shortness of breath, dizziness, leg swelling and heart failure. .

The diagnosis of PH requires confirmation of elevated pulmonary pressures.. Right heart catheterization (RHC) is a procedure to determine the diagnosis of PH. .

This research study is looking at the effect of intravenous infusion of the medication Regadenoson on pulmonary vasodilator response compared to the inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) response. iNO is the current standard of care practice.

The purpose of this study is to see if Regadenoson may offer improved ease of use, single dose administration, and better tolerance for testing for pulmonary hypertension than iNO. You will be screened to make sure Regadenoson is safe for you with a clinical evaluation, blood tests, and an ECG.

You will be asked to sign this informed consent form. Then, you will undergo right heart catheterization as part of your clinical care. Those who are positive for pulmonary hypertension will then undergo Regadenoson infusion and a inhaled iNO. Prior to the infusion, subjects will be asked if they have had in the last 12 hours any caffeine-containing foods or beverages, caffeine-containing medications such as theophylline 12 hours prior. Vital sign measurements will be taken to measure your heart. For those subjects that have low heart volume they will be given 500 cc of normal saline in their IV. Vital sign measurements will be taken again to make sure your heart volume is in the normal range. The doctor will administer Regadenoson 0.4 mg intravenously and this will cause your heart rate to increase. The doctor will be taking heart measurements 90 seconds, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes after administration. Approximately 30 minutes after the Regadenoson has been administered you will be given iNO by facemask for 5 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Regadenoson in people with Pulmonary Hypertension, run by National Jewish Health 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 5 inclusion and 15 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2021. 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. 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 was stopped early (reason given: PI left National Jewish Health). 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?

Number of people (time frame: 5 years). 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 19 Jan 2021.
