About this study

Official title: Transthoracic Parametric Doppler Assessment of Lung Doppler Signals in Acute Pulmonary Embolism

The LDS may contain information of significant diagnostic and physiological value regarding the pulmonary parenchyma and vasculature, as well as the cardio- vascular system in general. In pilot clinical studies of patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) as well as patients with Pulmonary Hypertension, LDS signals patterns unique to these conditions were identified. We believe that these newly discovered ultrasound signals might provide a non-invasive radiation-free means to diagnose and monitor patients with Pulmonary Embolism.

The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of noninvasive assessment of lung Doppler signals performed via transthoracic parametric Doppler. The objective of the study is to evaluate the lung Doppler signals (LDS) in patients diagnosed with acute PE, in order to determine the potential assessment value of this non-invasive method in this potentially life threatening condition.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identify lack of Lung Doppler signals in specific lung sections that were diagnosed obstructed by CT

    The obstructed sections will be compared with healthy lung sections

    Measured: 30min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diagnostic ultrasound radiation in people with Pulmonary Embolism, run by Echosense Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

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 1 inclusion and 9 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 8 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 Israel. 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. 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?

Identify lack of Lung Doppler signals in specific lung sections that were diagnosed obstructed by CT (time frame: 30min). 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 8 Feb 2019.
