About this study

Official title: Pilot Study for the Evaluation of EzCVP in Heart Failure Patients

Track changes in non-invasive central venous pressure across hospital stay and relationship with readmission

Read the detailed description

Determining the degree of congestion is important in deciding appropriate timing for discharging hospitalized heart failure patients. Central venous pressure (CVP) reflects the returning blood volume to the heart and can guide therapy to relieve congestion. However, the conventional method used to measure CVP has notable limitations as it is an invasive procedure that requires placement of a central venous catheter.

Traditional, non-invasive methods of estimating CVP, such as physical examination and echocardiogram, are less accurate and more resource intensive. To overcome this challenge, new technology to assess CVP non-invasively using an oscillometric method has been developed. This new technology involves measurement of the enclosed zone central venous pressure (ezCVP), which, in a preclinical study, has been shown to correlate with invasive data.

Additionally, a previous correlation study demonstrated that the ezCVP value can be mathematically adjusted to estimate invasive CVP. The resulting value has been termed CVPNI (CVP Non-Invasive). Most recently, a limited pilot study of patients hospitalized with acute, decompensated heart failure demonstrated the feasibility of device use in this population and the expected and incremental fall in CVPNI with medical treatment over the course of hospitalization.

Moving forward, and in order to further improve the care of patients hospitalized with heart failure, an expanded pilot study of ezCVP technology is needed to prove that changes in CVPNI track with these patients' condition during admission and can be useful in their clinical care.

What participants receive

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

  • ezCVP measurementDevice

    • Measuring device: non-FDA-cleared patient monitor (740E, Zoe Medical, MA, US), which has software to measure ezCVP.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the difference between non-invasive CVP measurement at admission and at discharge

    Compare CVPNI at time of admission and discharge in clinical unit CVPNI (CVP subscript NI) is a numeric value equivalence of central venous pressure non-invasive measured in mmHg.

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Evaluate the difference between non-invasive CVP measurement in right and left arms

    Compare CVPNI (mmHg) for measurements on left and right arm for same subject

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluate the relationship between CVPNI at discharge and readmission rate

    Compare CVPNI (mmHg) at time of discharge for high ezCVP subjects to subsequent readmission occurrence within 90-100 days post hospital discharge

    Measured: 100 days

  2. Evaluate the relationship between CVPNI to clinical parameter weight during hospitalization

    Compare CVPNI changes (∆ mmHg) for high ezCVP subjects during hospitalization to change in measured weight (∆ g)

    Measured: 7 days

  3. Compare changes in CVPNI to changes in KCCQ quality scores

    For each of the 3 Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) totals (integer number with no unit of measure): 1. Overall summary score; 2. clinical summary score; 3. symptom stability score: calculate: ∆KCCQ = KCCQ@14 days - KCCQ@admission. Count number of subjects in each group: ABSOLUTE(∆KCCQ) < 6 (no significant change); ∆KCCQ >= 6 (significant change improvement); ∆KCCQ <= -6 (significant change worsening).

    Compare to ∆CVPNI (unit = mmHg) = CVPNI-mean@admission - CVPNI-mean@discharge. Count number of subjects in each group: ∆CVPNI <= 0 (no improvement or worsening); ∆CVPNI > 0 \& < 5 (improvement); ∆CVPNI > 5 (large improvement).

    Measured: 21 days

  4. Evaluate the relationship between CVPNI and readmission rate for low and high ezCVP subjects

    Compare CVPNI at time of discharge for high ezCVP subjects versus low ezCVP subjects to subsequent readmission occurrence within 90-100 days post hospital discharge. Readmission is a binary value (true or false).

    Measured: 100 days

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 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 27 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Evaluate the difference between non-invasive CVP measurement at admission and at discharge (time frame: 7 days). 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?
