About this study

Our study aims to assess the relationship between the Seismofit® derived VO2 peak estimate and CPET-measured VO2 peak in patients who are having CPET as part of their preoperative workup. Our aim is to establish whether Seismofit® can be considered a cheaper, less resource intensive and better tolerated alternative to the CPET, or whether it might be useful as a screening tool to efficiently identify patients with exercise intolerance who may benefit from further characterisation by CPET.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess the relationship between Seismofit®-estimated VO2 peak and CPET-measured VO2 peak in HPB, gastro-oesophageal or colorectal cancer patients undergoing preoperative assessment for major surgery.

    Strength and direction of relationship (Pearson correlation coefficient) between Seismofit® -estimated VO2 peak and CPET-measured VO2 peak.

    Measured: End of Trial (9 months)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Assess limits of agreement and bias between Seismofit®-estimated VO2 peak and CPET-measured VO2 peak

    Limits of agreement and bias between Seismofit®-estimated VO2 peak and CPET-measured VO2 peak (Bland-Alman analysis)

    Measured: End of Trial (9 months)

  2. Assess the relationship between Seismofit®-estimated VO2 peak and CPET-measured VO2 peak in each surgical subgroup: HPB, gastro-oesophageal and colorectal cancer patients.

    Strength and direction of relationship (Pearson correlation coefficient) between Seismofit® -estimated VO2 peak and CPET-measured VO2 peak, as well as limits of agreement and bias (Bland-Altman analysis) in each surgical subgroup: HPB, gastro-oesophageal and colorectal cancer patients.

    Measured: End of Trial (9 months)

  3. Assess the relationship between Seismofit® -estimated VO2 peak and other CPET derived variables: o Anaerobic Threshold (AT) o Peak Power Output (PPO) o Ventilatory equivalents for carbon dioxide (VE/VCO2)

    Strength and direction of relationship (Pearson correlation coefficient) between Seismofit® -estimated VO2 peak and the CPET-measured variables of AT, PPO and VE/VCO2

    Measured: End of Trial (9 months)

  4. Assess patient experience of the Seismofit® test using a brief measure that has been used previously in CPET research

    Patient concern, comfort, and overall satisfaction of Seismofit® measurement compared with CPET.

    Measured: End of Trial (9 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepato-Biliary Carcinoma in Situ Nos and Pancreatic Cancer, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 26 Apr 2023. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assess the relationship between Seismofit®-estimated VO2 peak and CPET-measured VO2 peak in HPB, gastro-oesophageal or colorectal cancer patients undergoing preoperative assessment for major surgery. (time frame: End of Trial (9 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 NCT05831488, 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 26 Apr 2023.
