About this study

Official title: Non-invasive Fluid Volume During Fluid Shifts Technique Validation

This study is designed to answer the question of if several non-invasive methods are comparable to the invasive clinical gold standard of radiolabeled albumin in terms of detecting changes in fluid volume.

It is broken into two studies: Aim 1 Study A is designed as a pilot phase to develop the non-techniques, and Aim 2 Study B is comparing these techniques to the gold standard.

Being tested
ethanol dilution

Study groups in NCT03447574
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Aim 1ExperimentalThe ethanol dilution is, in essence, a non-invasive dilution method. It is of interest because of how ethanol readily dissolves itself exclusively into the water space of the body[4], is non-toxic in reasonable concentrations, is metabolized in a 0th order reaction above concentrations of 0.015 g/dL[4], and there are non-invasive methods for determining blood alcohol concentration[5, 6]. Thus, by drinking a known amount of ethanol, total body water can be calculated after a few hours of periodic breathalyzer analyses. Ethanol has been validated against deuterium oxide, the invasive gold standard for determining total body water[4]. The ethanol dose will be 0.5g/kg body weight.
Receives: Other: ethanol dilution
Aim 2Active comparator30mL/kg body weight of saline will be rapidly infused after the baseline measurements completed in Aim 1. Non-invasive methods for fluid volume determination (CO-pulse-oximetry, ethanol breathalyzer, BIS) will be conducted and change from baseline calculated. To determine if non-invasive fluid volume techniques can accurately determine fluid changes in healthy participants.Non-invasive methods for fluid volume determination (CO-pulse-oximetry, ethanol breathalyzer, BIS) will be conducted and change from baseline calculated.
Receives: Other: ethanol dilution

What is being measured

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

  1. Validation against Gold Standard

    The non-invasive methods being investigated will be non-inferior in measuring the blood or fluid volumes in healthy participants when compared to the gold standard.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ethanol dilution in people with Development of Non-invasive Protocol, run by Mayo Clinic at 3 sites 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?

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 8 Dec 2022. 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 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 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?

Validation against Gold Standard (time frame: 2 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 8 Dec 2022.
