What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs

    "An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical trial subject administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious AE (SAE) is an AE that leads to death, is life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires in-patient or prolonged hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or any other important medical event which is medically significant.

    A TEAE is an AE that occurs only after a subject has received IMP.

    Measured: From the start of IMP administration (Day 1) up to 15 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change From Baseline in Body Weight

    Change in body weight from baseline (before IMP administration on Day 1) at time of final IMP administration (day after final IMP administration). A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Day after final IMP administration

  2. Improvement Rate for Lower Limb Edema

    The improvement rate was defined as the percentage of subjects in whom a symptom was present at baseline and then markedly improved or improved after IMP administration. Improvement category is a 4-point scale below:

    • Markedly improved
    • Improved
    • Unchanged
    • Deteriorated

    Measured: Baseline, Day after final IMP administration

  3. Improvement Rate for Pulmonary Congestion

    The improvement rate was defined as the percentage of subjects in whom a symptom was present at baseline and then markedly improved or improved after IMP administration. Improvement category is a 4-point scale below:

    • Markedly improved
    • Improved
    • Unchanged
    • Deteriorated

    Measured: Baseline, Day after final IMP administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing OPC-61815 injection in people with Congestive Heart Failure, run by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Japan.

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 3 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 5 Sep 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 Japan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Sep 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs (time frame: From the start of IMP administration (Day 1) up to 15 days). 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 5 Sep 2021.
