0.5M Na Lactate Solution in Acute Heart Failure (AHF) (SOLACE1)

November 9, 2013 updated by: Marek Nalos, Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District

A Phase 2, Randomised, Single-Blind, Placebo-controlled Study of Half Molar Sodium Lactate Solution in the Treatment of Subjects With Acute Heart Failure

The objective of this trial to see whether:

-Cardiac performance (cardiac index and secondary outcomes)can be improved in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and symptoms and consequences of fluid overload (pulmonary and interstitial edema) and poor peripheral perfusion can be reduced by:

  1. Providing lactate as a substrate(Improve cardiac index)
  2. Simultaneously restoring optimal preload

Optimal standard treatment will be achieved in both arms with the use of current best treatment protocol for AHF as per independent treating physician.

4. To assess effects of 0.5M Na lactate (Totilac) on plasma and urine biological parameters (sodium, potassium, chloride, pH, bicarb, base excess, albumin)

5. To assess effects of 0.5M Na lactate on morbidity and mortality.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  • Acute heart failure is a critical illness for which current treatments are suboptimal.
  • The various symptoms are related to inadequate cardiac output and usually include left ventricular overload with pulmonary oedema, interstitial fluid accumulation and tissue oedema (as indicated by frequent hyponatremia and hypoalbuminemia) and insufficient peripheral perfusion frequently manifesting as cold extremities and low urine output.
  • The current treatment of this syndrome is based on diuretics, vasodilators and/or inotropes, but fluid administration is also required to optimise the intravascular volume state and to reverse shock if present. Therefore management of body fluid balance remains a challenge since treatment aims to simultaneously maintain or improve intravascular volume and decrease body fluid excess and oedema.
  • The purpose of the present study is to assess in a prospective randomised trial the efficacy and safety of a newly designed crystalloid solution, 0.5 M sodium lactate, with properties potentially able to improve multiple pathophysiological aspects of AHF, as compared to the use of standard crystalloid solution Compound Sodium Lactate (mildly hypoosmolar ~ 274 mOsm/L and isotonic).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
