Trial summary

Our group has developed a device called "Velocidad Onda de Pulso Indice Tobillo Brazo (VOPITB)" . In this device the oscillometric method is used for easily and accurately measure the pulse wave velocity PWV in the arms and legs separately, allowing new arterial stiffness indices to be studied (sum, difference, ratio… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The sample size has been calculated in order to provide that a difference between the CAVI values obtained from measurement of both devices, VOPITB and VaSera, shall be up to of 0.8 points in comparison with the CAVI reference values for Spanish adults population [21]. the base parameters used to calculate the sample size were as follows: standard deviation (sd) of CAVI measured by VaSera VS-1500 and VOPITB (1.44), mean difference between CAVI measurements (0.8), confidence level (95%), and power (80%). Thus, the estimated sample size was found as 102 patients. In addition, for compensating possible incomplete data sets from patients who could withdraw or fail to complete the study, 20% were added. Finally, a total of 120 subjects (a minimum of 40% of subjects for each gender group) will be evaluated according to the following criteria: * < 30 years (40 subjects) * 30 - 60 years (40 subjects) * > 60 years (40 subjects)

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects ≥ 18 years who agree to participate in the study and do not meet any of the exclusion criteria.

Who cannot join

  • History of CVD (ischaemic heart disease, stroke or peripheral arterial disease)
  • Atrial fibrillation or other cardiac rhythm disorders
  • Pacemaker-dependent
  • Impalpable arterial pulse at site of measurement
  • Pregnancy
  • Terminal condition
  • Age under 18 years

About this study

Official title: VOPITB a New Devices to Determine Peripheral Arterial Stiffness: Protocol for Validation Study

Our group has developed a device called "Velocidad Onda de Pulso Indice Tobillo Brazo (VOPITB)" . In this device the oscillometric method is used for easily and accurately measure the pulse wave velocity PWV in the arms and legs separately, allowing new arterial stiffness indices to be studied (sum, difference, ratio, baPWV and CAVI). The aim of our study will be to validate the PWV measures by VOPITB with other references devices that measures arterial stiffness. Moreover we will perform a clinical study to assess the clinical utility of VOPITB.

What is being measured

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

  1. cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) validation

    We will determine CAVI with VOPITB, as well as its validation against the reference device (VaSera VS-1500) and assess its clinical utility.

    Measured: 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Risk Factor and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by University of Extremadura.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) validation (time frame: 8 months). 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 NCT04303546, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Mar 2020.
