About this study

toSense, Inc. has developed a novel, non-invasive, body-worn sensor -CoVa Patch-that offers an alternative to invasive continuous cardiac output monitoring. To validate this new sensor's measurements of stroke volume and cardiac output, toSense, Inc. will conduct a study that compares its measurement performance to that from a pulmonary artery catheter using the thermodilution method.

Read the detailed description

This in an introductory clinical study with cardiac ICU patients featuring CoVa Patch. This is a single site, non-blinded, non-randomized study. It will employ a retrospective analysis comparing the accuracy of SV and CO. The 'test sensor', CoVa Patch, which will measure SV and CO quasi-continuously and non-invasively, approximately every 5-30 minutes for a period of time lasting approximately 12-48 hours. These measurements will be compared to those from a 'reference device', which is the pulmonary arterial catheter. It uses an invasive technique called thermodilution that will be made approximately every 4 hours. Measurements between the test and reference devices will be compared in a retrospective analysis once the study has completed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of Stroke Volume

    The primary objective of this study is to validate stroke volume (the amount of blood pumped by the left ventrical of the heart in one contraction) measurements made using CoVa Patch to those made using a pulmonary artery catheter and the thermodilution method.

    Thermodilution requires a pulmonary artery catheter and are calculated by a monitoring system based on temperature changes in the heart when a cooler solution is injected into the right atrium via the proximal port of a pulmonary artery catheter.

    Measured: 4 Months

  2. Accuracy of Cardiac Output

    The secondary objective of this study is to validate cardiac output (the amount of blood the heart pumps per minute) measurements made using CoVa Patch to those made using a pulmonary artery catheter and the thermodilution method.

    Thermodilution requires a pulmonary artery catheter and are calculated by a monitoring system based on temperature changes in the heart when a cooler solution is injected into the right atrium via the proximal port of a pulmonary artery catheter.

    Measured: 4 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Failure, run by Baxter Healthcare Corporation 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 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 20 Jan 2022. 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?

Accuracy of Stroke Volume (time frame: 4 Months). The study lists 2 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 20 Jan 2022.
