Multicenter Study of Antiarrhythmic Medications for Treatment of Infants With Supraventricular Tachycardia
NCT00390546 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This is a randomized, double-blind, multi-centered study to compare 6 months of medical treatment with digoxin or propranolol in infants with SVT Background: SVT is the most common sustained arrhythmia of infancy. Neither digoxin nor propranolol has been evaluated for pediatric use in a controlled trial in the context of SVT, yet both medications are used frequently. Specific aims of the study: To determine whether propranolol and digoxin differ in the: 1. Incidence of recurrent SVT in infants after 6 months of treatment with propranolol or digoxin 2. Time to first recurrence of SVT in infants treated with propranolol or digoxin. 3. Incidence of adverse outcomes in infants treated with propranolol or digoxin.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00390546
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00390546 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 3, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 72 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of British Columbia, which has 8 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Supraventricular Tachycardia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Propranolol is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00390546 reports 14 study locations spanning 13 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include California, Missouri, New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
