What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EchocardiographyOther

    We hypothesize that non-invasive indices of RV (echocardiograph-derived strain and strain rate) and pulmonary (gas exchange-derived lung diffusion and surface area) function during light exercise will successfully identify and discern patients with known RV dysfunction (PAH/HFpEF with RV failure) from those with known pulmonary dysfunction (PAH/HFpEF with pulmonary fibrosis). Additionally, we hypothesize that our assessment techniques will identify subtle derangements in RV and pulmonary function in newly diagnosed PAH and HFpEF patients, and that this may guide early and targeted therapeutic intervention.

  • Pulmonary Gas ExchangeOther

    We hypothesize that breathing hyperoxia will increase exercise capacity by reversing RV and pulmonary derangements, and that the mechanisms of action will be related to the underlying dysfunction (e.g., reducing PVR, increasing RV functional reserve, increasing gas diffusion).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Non-invasive assesment techniquesExperimentalWe hypothesize that non-invasive indices of right ventricular RV (echocardiograph-derived strain and strain rate) and pulmonary (gas exchange-derived lung diffusion and surface area) function during light exercise will successfully identify and discern patients with known RV dysfunction pulmonary arterial hypertension and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction(PAH/HFpEF with RV failure) from those with known pulmonary dysfunction (PAH/HFpEF with pulmonary fibrosis). Additionally, we hypothesize that our assessment techniques will identify subtle derangements in RV and pulmonary function in newly diagnosed PAH and HFpEF patients, and that this may guide early and targeted therapeutic intervention.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in stroke volume (SV) during exercise and hyperoxia

    Stroke volume will be measured with echocardiography at rest and during exercise while breathing room air and hyperoxia

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Change in oxygen uptake (VO2) during exercise and hyperoxia

    Oxygen uptake will be measured via pulmonary gas exchange at rest and during exercise while breathing room air and hyperoxia

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Change in ventilatory efficiency (VE/VCO2) during exercise and hyperoxia

    Ventilatory effciency will be measured via pulmonary gas exchange at rest and during exercise while breathing room air and hyperoxia

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Echocardiography and Pulmonary Gas Exchange in people with Cardiopulmonary Disease, run by Mayo Clinic 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 12 Mar 2024. 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 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 stroke volume (SV) during exercise and hyperoxia (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 3 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 12 Mar 2024.
