About this study

Official title: PULsecath mechanicaL Support Evaluation (PULSE) - Trial

The objective of this study is to determine ventricular loading conditions during and after PulseCath® iVAC2L support, and assess its impact on specific load dependent humoral factors and cardiac enzymes. These specific patterns are so far unknown and will be evaluated invasively.

Read the detailed description

This is a mechanistic exploratory study. The objective is to determine the effects of the new PFLVAD PulseCath® iVAC2L on ventricular loading using left ventricular pressure-volume loops, in association with systemic and pulmonary hemodynamic parameters obtained from right and left catheterization. Additionally, assessments of specific load and flow-dependent humoral factors and cardiac enzymes will be made during and after the use of mechanical circulatory support. These specific patterns are so far unknown. Knowledge of optimal patterns may help in determining the ideal circulatory device platform.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing iVAC2L pVAD in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Heart Failure, run by Erasmus Medical Center at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France, Netherlands, 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.

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?

Change in Pressure-volume Area (PVA) (time frame: From the beginning of the PCI until its conclusion. This period can be variable and is estimated in 40 to 270 minutes.). 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 NCT03200990, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 29 Mar 2021.
