Treatment Study TINDTP Trial Indication Type CDISC SDTM Trial Indication Type Terminology Clinical trials are broken into three or four phases: Phase I tests a new drug or treatment for safety in a small group; Phase II expands the study to a larger group of people; Phase III expands the study to an even larger group of people to measure whether the treatment actually benefits patients, and whether its benefits exceed its risks; and Phase IV takes place after the drug or treatment has been licensed and marketed. (NCI) Trial Phase 1 1 The initial introduction of an investigational new drug into humans. Phase 1 studies are typically closely monitored and may be conducted in patients or normal volunteer subjects. NOTE: These studies are designed to determine the metabolism and pharmacologic actions of the drug in humans, the side effects associated with increasing doses, and, if possible, to gain early evidence on effectiveness. During Phase 1, sufficient information about the drug's pharmacokinetics and pharmacological effects should be obtained to permit the design of well-controlled, scientifically valid, Phase 2 studies. The total number of subjects and patients included in Phase I studies varies with the drug, but is generally in the range of 20 to 80. Phase 1 studies also include studies of drug metabolism, structure-activity relationships, and mechanism of action in humans, as well as studies in which investigational drugs are used as research tools to explore biological phenomena or disease processes. [After FDA CDER Handbook, ICH E8] (CDISC glossary) Phase I Trial Trial Phase 1-2 1-2 A class of clinical study that combines elements characteristic of traditional Phase I and Phase II trials. See also Phase I, Phase II. Phase I/II Trial Trial Phase 2 2 Phase 2. Controlled clinical studies conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the drug for a particular indication or indications in patients with the disease or condition under study and to determine the common short-term side effects and risks associated with the drug. NOTE: Phase 2 studies are typically well controlled, closely monitored, and conducted in a relatively small number of patients, usually involving no more than several hundred subjects.

(NCI) Phase IIa Trial Trial Phase 2B 2B A clinical research protocol generally referred to as a well-controlled and pivotal trial that aims to prove the mechanism of action of the new intervention in question. A pivotal study will generally be well-controlled, randomized, of adequate size, and whenever possible, double-blind. (NCI) Phase IIb Trial Trial Phase 3 3 Phase 3. Studies are expanded controlled and uncontrolled trials. They are performed after preliminary evidence suggesting effectiveness of the drug has been obtained, and are intended to gather the additional information about effectiveness and safety that is needed to confirm efficacy and evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of the drug and to provide an adequate basis for physician labeling. NOTE: Phase 3 studies usually include from several hundred to several thousand subjects. [After FDA CDER Handbook, ICH E8] (CDISC glossary) Phase III Trial Trial Phase 3A 3A A classification typically assigned retrospectively to a Phase III trial upon determination by regulatory authorities of a need for a Phase III B trial. Phase IIIa Trial Trial Phase 3B 3B A subcategory of Phase III trials done near the time of approval to elicit additional findings. NOTE: Dossier review may continue while associated Phase IIIB trials are conducted. These trials may be required as a condition of regulatory authority approval. Phase IIIb Trial Trial Phase 4 4 Phase 4. Postmarketing (Phase 4) studies to delineate additional information about the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use that may be requested by regulatory authorities in conjunction with marketing approval. NOTE: These studies could include, but would not be limited to, studying different doses or schedules of administration than were used in Phase 2 studies, use of the drug in other patient populations or other stages of the disease, or use of the drug over a longer period of time.

Sinus tachycardia A heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute, with its origin in the sinus node. (NCI) Sinus Tachycardia Sinus bradycardia A heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute, with its origin in the sinus node. (NCI) Sinus Bradycardia Ventricular arrhythmia associated with long QT syndrome A ventricular arrhythmia characterized by syncopal episodes and a long QT interval, sometimes leading to sudden death due to paroxysmal ventricular arrhythmia. This arrhythmia is associated with a prolongation of repolarization following depolarization of the cardiac ventricles. The prolongation of the Q-T interval combined with torsades de pointes manifests as several different forms; some may be acquired or congenital; some may lead to serious arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. (NCI) Long QT Syndrome Pre-excitation A condition characterized by the activation of the whole or some part of the ventricle by the transmission of an atrial impulse along an accessory pathway rather than by way of the normal specific conduction system which includes a delay at the atrioventricular node. (NCI) Pre-Excitation Syndrome AV node re-entry A supraventricular tachycardia due to reentry along a circuit contained within the AV node. AVNRT is the most common form of supraventricular tachycardia and usually presents as a narrow QRS complex tachycardia at a rate between 150 and 250 beats per minute. (NCI) Atrioventricular Nodal Reentry Tachycardia Junctional tachycardia An automatic tachycardia originating in the atrioventricular junction, typically arising in the conduction tissues surrounding the atrioventricular node. A junctional tachycardia tends to be a regular, narrow complex tachycardia and usually occurs during myocardial infarction, after heart surgery, or in digitalis intoxication. The rate may range from 140 to 250 beats per minute. (NCI) Junctional Tachycardia Supraventricular tachycardia A generic expression for any tachycardia that originates in the atria or the atrioventricular node. (NCI) Supraventricular Tachycardia Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome A type of ventricular pre-excitation resulting from the activation of an accessory pathway known as the Bundle of Kent. This pathway presents an abnormal electrical communication from the atria to the ventricles. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is characterized by a short PR interval and a long QRS interval with a delta wave. (NCI) Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome Atrial tachycardia Any rapid heart rhythm originating in the atria. Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter are varieties of atrial tachycardia. Atrial tachycardia is an electrical circuit originating in the upper or atrial chambers. This electrical circuit or focus takes over and generates rapid impulses across the atrial chambers. These impulses are transmitted to the ventricular chambers resulting in a rapid rate. These arrhythmias may originate from a variety of places across the atria. They may exist as an isolated problem or be related to an ongoing structural problem within the heart. (NCI) Atrial Tachycardia Atrial fibrillation A supraventricular arrhythmia characterized by uncoordinated atrial myocardium activation due to multiple reentry circuits with consequent deterioration of atrial mechanical function. Instead of intermittently contracting, the atria quiver continuously in a chaotic pattern, causing a totally irregular, often tachycardia ventricular rate. On the ECG it is described by the replacement of consistent P waves by rapid oscillations or fibrillatory waves that vary in size, shape, and timing, associated with an irregular, frequently rapid ventricular response when atrioventricular conduction is intact. (NCI) Atrial Fibrillation 3rd degree AV block Complete failure of atrial electrical impulse conduction through the AV node to the ventricles. (NCI) AV Block Third Degree Torsades de pointes An atypical rapid polymorphic ventricular tachycardia with a characteristic rotation of the QRS complex around the isoelectric baseline. In addition the QRS complex displays a periodic waxing and waning of amplitude on the electrogram. (NCI) Torsades De Pointes Ventricular fibrillation An arrhythmia characterized by an irregular pattern of high or low-amplitude waves that cannot be differentiated into QRS complexes or T waves. These electrocardiographic waves occur as a result of fibrillary contractions of the ventricular muscle due to rapid repetitive excitation of myocardial fibers without coordinated contraction of the ventricle. (NCI) Ventricular Fibrillation Ventricular flutter A ventricular tachyarrhythmia characterized by a high ventricular rate (180 and 250 beats per minute) with a regular rhythm. The electrocardiogram shows large oscillating sine wave-like complexes occurring as a result of QRS complexes and T waves being merged. The P wave is not visible. (NCI) Ventricular Flutter Ventricular tachycardia A tachycardia arising distal to bundle of His, with a rate greater than 100 beats per minute. (NCI) Ventricular Tachycardia Atrial flutter An electrocardiographic finding of an organized rhythmic contraction of the atria which is generally at a rate of 200-300 beats per minute. (NCI) Atrial Flutter R on T phenomenon An electrocardiographic finding phenomena in which the R wave occurs on top of the T wave; this can trigger ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. (NCI) R On T Phenomenon 1st degree AV block A delay in the time required for the conduction of an electrical impulse through the atrioventricular (AV) node beyond 0.2 seconds; prolongation of the PR interval beyond 200 milliseconds. (NCI) AV Block First Degree 2nd degree AV block Intermittent failure of atrial electrical impulse conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) node to the ventricles. (NCI) AV Block Second Degree Ventricular tachycardia, monomorphic A ventricular tachycardia in which the ventricular activation sequence is constant. The morphology of the electrocardiographic waveform is unchanging and is referred to as monomorphic. (NCI) Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Ventricular tachycardia, polymorphic A ventricular tachycardia in which the ventricular activation sequence is variable. The morphology of the electrocardiographic waveform is variable and is referred to as polymorphic. (NCI) Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Sinus arrhythmia Irregularity of the heartbeat due to a variation in the sinus rhythm resulting in cyclic changes in the heart rate during breathing. This rhythm is most commonly seen with breathing due to fluctuations in parasympathetic vagal tone. During inspiration stretch receptors in the lungs stimulate the cardioinhibitory centers in the medulla via fibers in the vagus nerve. Irregularity of the heartbeat due to a variation in the sinus rhythm resulting in cyclic changes in the heart rate during breathing. This rhythm is most commonly seen with breathing due to fluctuations in parasympathetic vagal tone. During inspiration stretch receptors in the lungs stimulate the cardioinhibitory centers in the medulla via fibers in the vagus nerve. (NCI) Sinus Arrhythmia Wandering atrial pacemaker A condition characterized by the site of origin of impulses, controlling the heart rate, changing within the atria, including the sinus node. Variations within P waves and PR intervals occur and an irregular rate of impulse formation is observed. (NCI) Wandering Atrial Pacemaker Sinus arrest/pause A failure of impulse formation in the sinus node. Sinus arrest is indistinguishable from third degree sinoatrial exit block on the standard ECG. (NCI) Sinus Arrest Sinus node dysfunction (bradycardia) A derangement in the normal functioning of the sinoatrial node. Typically, SA node dysfunction is manifest as sinoatrial exit block or sinus arrest, but may present as an absolute or relative bradycardia in the presence of a stressor. It may be associated with bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome. (NCI) Sinus Node Dysfunction Sick sinus syndrome A constellation of signs and symptoms which may include syncope, fatigue, dizziness, and alternating periods of bradycardia and atrial tachycardia, which is caused by sinoatrial node dysfunction. (NCI) Sick Sinus Syndrome Ectopic atrial rhythm A cardiac rhythm resulting from either an abnormal electrical focus in the atria or intra-atrial reentry. Atrial ectopic beats (AEB) refer to a contraction of the upper heart chamber which occurs before it would be expected. Atrial ectopic beats are also known as premature atrial beats, premature atrial complex (PAC), or atrial extrasystole. (NCI) Ectopic Atrial Rhythm Short PR interval A PR interval of less than 0.12 seconds. (NCI) Short PR Interval PR prolongation A PR interval of more than 0.20 seconds in adults. (NCI) Prolonged PR Interval Isorhythmic dissociation A type of atrioventricular dissociation characterized by atria and ventricles beating at similar rates, although independently. (NCI) Isorhythmic Atrioventricular Dissociation Paroxysmal AV block Sudden onset AV block, often associated with preexisting conduction disorders. (NCI) Paroxysmal Atrioventricular Block Inappropriate sinus tachycardia Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is a rare form of supraventricular tachycardia involving the sinus node, in which a patient has an abnormally high heart rate, occurring both at rest and in response to stressors (such as physical activity). (NCI) Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia PVC Ectopic impulses originating in the ventricles. (NCI) Ventricular Premature Complex Premature atrial complexes Ectopic impulses originating in the atria. (NCI) Atrial Premature Complex Delta wave An initial slurring (delta wave) of the QRS complex due to the presence of an accessory pathway. This characteristic EKG pattern is typically seen in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. (NCI) EKG Delta Wave Ventricular couplet Two sequential ventricular premature complexes. An otherwise normal finding, but possibly indicative of electrical heart disease particularly in comparison with a single ventricular premature complexes. (NCI) Ventricular Couplet AV re-entrant tachycardia A supraventricular tachycardia due to reentry along a circuit including a concealed AV nodal bypass tract. This tachycardia circuit proceeds in an antegrade fashion through the AV node and then is conducted retrograde through the bypass tract into the atria. (NCI) Atrioventricular Reentrant Tachycardia Accelerated idioventricular rhythm The term accelerated idioventricular rhythm describes an ectopic ventricular rhythm with 3 or more consecutive ventricular premature beats with a rate faster than the normal ventricular intrinsic escape rate of 30 to 40 beats per minute, but slower than ventricular tachycardia. Accelerated idioventricular rhythm differs from ventricular tachycardia by additional features such as the onset with a long coupling interval and the end by a gradual decrease of the ventricular rate or increase of the sinus rate. (NCI) Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm Left anterior fascicular block An impairment of transmission of the cardiac electrical impulse along the fibers of the left anterior fascicle. In left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) the posteroinferior regions of the left ventricular endocardium are activated abnormally before the anterosuperior left ventricular area. After emerging from the posteroinferior division of the left bundle branch, the impulse first propagates in an inferior, rightward, and usually anterior direction for a short period of time. This orientation is responsible for the small Q waves in leads 1 and aVL and for the R waves in leads II, III, and aVF. (NCI) Left Anterior Fascicular Block Left posterior fascicular block An impairment of transmission of the cardiac electrical impulse along the fibers of the left posterior fascicle. In pure left posterior fascicular block (LPFB), the impulse emerges from the unblocked anterosuperior division, thus producing small q waves in leads II, III, and aVF. Thereafter, the impulse moves through the electrically predominant left ventricle in an inferior and rightward direction, thus explaining the S waves in leads I and aVL as well as the R waves in leads II, III, and aVF. (NCI) Left Posterior Fascicular Block Left bundle branch block An impairment of transmission of the cardiac electrical impulse along the fibers of the left main bundle branch, or both the left anterior fascicle and left posterior fascicle. This conduction disturbance is characterized by wide (greater than 0.11s) QRS complexes. The diagnostic criteria consist of prolongation of the QRS complexes (over 0.11s) with neither a Q wave nor an S wave in lead V1 and in the properly placed V6. A wide R wave with a notch on its top (plateau) is seen in these leads. In hearts with an electrical (and anatomic) vertical position a small Q wave may be seen in AVL in the absence of MI. Right chest lead V1 may or may not show an initial R wave, but the latter should be present in lead V2. (NCI) Left Bundle Branch Block Right Bundle Branch Block An impairment of transmission of the cardiac electrical impulse along the fibers of the right bundle branch. A "complete RBBB pattern" (with QRS duration > 0.11s) does not necessarily reflect the existence of a total conduction block in the right branch. This pattern only indicates that the entire or major parts of both ventricles are activated by the impulse emerging from the left branch. Thus, a significant degree of conduction delay ("high-grade" or "incomplete RBBB") can produce a similar pattern. (NCI) Right Bundle Branch Block Intraventricular conduction delay, nonspecific A delay in transmission of cardiac electrical impulses in the His-Purkinje system, diagnosed when the QRS is modestly prolonged (< 120 msec) and the QRS pattern and axis are not typical of a hemiblock. The conduction delay is considered to occur beyond the Purkinje's myocardial gates and arises from slow cell-to-cell conduction. The phenomenon is common in patients with acute MI. (NCI) Nonspecific Intraventricular Conduction Delay ST segment abnormality An electrocardiographic finding of the ST segment elevation or depression which is not indicative of ischemia or infarction. (NCI) ST Segment Abnormality ST depression An electrocardiographic finding of ST segment depression below the baseline, often described as up sloping, down sloping or horizontal. (NCI) ST Depression ST elevation An electrocardiographic finding of ST segment elevation above the baseline. (NCI) ST Elevation ST elevation pericarditis An electrocardiographic finding of ST changes consistent with pericarditis. (NCI) ST Elevation Pericarditis J point elevation Elevation of the J point above the baseline; the J point represents the end of ventricular depolarization and located at the terminus of the QRS complex. (NCI) J Point Elevation Non-specific ST-T changes An electrocardiographic finding of changes in the ST segment and T wave that do not meet criteria for ischemia or infarction. (NCI) Non-Specific ST-T Changes Notched T-waves Any depression occurring in a positive t wave. (NCI) Notched T-Waves Poor R Wave Progression Lack of progression of R wave height across precordial leads. (NCI) Poor R Wave Progression Prolonged QT A QT interval that is prolonged. The length of the QT interval varies with the heart rate. (NCI) Prolonged QT Interval Electrical alternans An electrocardiographic finding in which there is an alternating pattern of any of the waveform components. (NCI) Electrical Alternans Sinoatrial exit block A blockage of electrical conduction within the sinoatrial node resulting in the failure of impulse transmission from the sinoatrial node. (NCI) Sinoatrial Node Exit Block Atrial Enlargement An electrocardiographic finding which comprises left, right or bilateral atrial enlargement. (NCI) EKG Finding Atrial Enlargement P-mitrale An electrocardiographic finding suggesting underlying hypertrophy or dilatation of the left atrium. Electrocardiographic criteria used for the diagnosis of left atrial abnormality may include a bifid p wave, a biphasic p wave and/or a p wave duration of greater than 0.12 seconds. (NCI) P-mitrale P-pulmonale An electrocardiographic finding suggesting underlying hypertrophy or dilatation of the right atrium. Electrocardiographic criteria used for the diagnosis of right atrial abnormality may include a peaked p wave greater than 2.5 millimeters in amplitude in the inferior leads. (NCI) P-pulmonale Ectopic ventricular rhythm A cardiac rhythm resulting from either an abnormal electrical focus in the ventricle. Ventricular ectopic beats (VEB) refer to a contraction of the lower heart chamber which occurs before it would be expected. Ventricular ectopic beats are also known as premature ventricular beats, premature ventricular complex (PVC), or ventricular extrasystole. (NCI) Ectopic Ventricular Rhythm Ectopic supraventricular rhythm An electrocardiographic finding of a rhythm originating at a site other than the sinoatrial node, which is also above the atrioventricular node. (NCI) Ectopic Supraventricular Rhythm 2:1 AV block A electrocardiographic finding of an electrical phenomenon in which the ratio of electrical impulse generated above the atrioventricular node to the number of impulses conducted through to the ventricles is 2:1. (NCI) 2:1 Atrioventricular Block Atrioventricular dissociation An electrocardiographic finding in which the electrical activity of the atria and ventricles are causally independent of one another. (NCI) Atrioventricular Dissociation Bifascicular block An electrocardiographic finding comprising right bundle branch block and left anterior fascicular block, or right bundle branch block and left posterior fascicular block. Defects occurring in two of the three divisions of the conduction system of the heart are considered bifascicular blocks. Technically left bundle branch block may be considered a bifascicular block. (NCI) Bifascicular Block Incomplete left bundle branch block An partial impairment of transmission of the cardiac electrical impulse along the fibers of the left bundle branch. (NCI) Incomplete Left Bundle Branch Block Incomplete right bundle branch block Various mechanisms may result in a pattern showing an incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB). These include different degrees of conduction delay through the main trunk of the right bundle branch; increased conduction time through an elongated right bundle branch; diffuse Purkinje-myocardial delay due to right ventricular stretch or dilatation; surgical trauma or disease-related interruption of the major ramifications of the right branch (distal RBBB or right fascicular blocks); congenital variations of the distribution of the major ramifications resulting in a slight delay in the activation of the crista supraventricularis. (NCI) Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block Incomplete bundle branch block An electrocardiographic finding of bundle branch block which does not meet the criteria for a more specific bundle branch block. (NCI) Incomplete Bundle Branch Block Multifocal atrial tachycardia An electrocardiographic finding in which the electrical axis of the p wave is variable and the rate is greater than 100 beats per minute. To meet criteria for multifocal atrial tachycardia, the p wave must exhibit three distinct morphologies on the rhythm strip. (NCI) Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia Junctional rhythm An electrocardiographic finding in which the pacer of the heart is located in the AV junction, normally presenting with a narrow QRS complex and a rate of 60-100 beats per minute. (NCI) Junctional Rhythm Sustained ventricular tachycardia An electrocardiographic finding of ventricular tachycardia greater than 30 seconds in duration.

(NCI) Trigeminy Ventricular tachycardia storm Multiple, temporally related, episodes of ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, occurring three or more times in a 24 hour period. (NCI) Ventricular Tachycardia Storm Adenosine-sensitive ventricular tachycardia A condition that occurs as a result of cAMP-mediated triggered activity and typically originates from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). This type of tachycardia occurs in patients with apparently normal hearts. (NCI) Adenosine-Sensitive Ventricular Tachycardia Verapamil-sensitive ventricular tachycardia A well-recognized condition that is believed to result from triggered activity. Despite its uniform response to verapamil, however, this uncommon form of ventricular tachycardia may not be as homogeneous a condition as first believed. (NCI) Verapamil-Sensitive Ventricular Tachycardia Ventricular arrhythmia associated with Brugada syndrome A condition characterized by a pattern of right bundle branch block (RBBB) and ST-segment elevation within electrocardiogram (ECG) leads V1-V3 . This pattern emerges as a result of a defect in ion channel genes, resulting in abnormal electrophysiological activity in the right ventricle and a propensity to malignant tachyarrhythmias. (NCI) Brugada Syndrome Ventricular arrhythmia associated with short QT syndrome Ventricular tachyarrhythmias occurring in association with short QT syndrome. (NCI) Short QT Syndrome Fascicular tachycardia A distinct subgroup of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) that may be confused with either typical VT or supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). It is characterized by the absence of structural heart disease and classic electrocardiographic and electrophysiological features. It originates from the region of the posterior fascicle (or occasionally the anterior fascicle) of the left bundle branch and is partly propagated by the His-Purkinje network. It therefore produces QRS complexes of relatively short duration (0.11-0.14)s. (NCI) Fascicular Tachycardia Bundle branch reentrant tachycardia An uncommon form of ventricular tachycardia (VT) incorporating both bundle branches into the reentry circuit. Surface electrocardiogram (ECG) of sinus rhythm (SR) characteristically shows intraventricular conduction defects. Patients typically present with presyncope, syncope or sudden death because of VT with fast rates frequently above 200 beats per minute. The QRS morphology during VT is a typical bundle branch block pattern, usually left bundle branch block, and may be identical to that in SR. (NCI) Bundle Branch Re-Entrant Ventricular Tachycardia Idiopathic right bundle branch block ventricular tachycardia Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a type of ventricular tachycardia occurring unrelated to any organic cardiac disease. The abnormality is probably congenital, be it a focus of abnormal automaticity or myocardial tissue that can sustain re-entry. The clinical presentation for idiopathic VT can be very much like a paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. That is, most patients are generally younger without overt cardiac disease and present with paroxysmal palpitations. Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia is not generally life-threatening. (NCI) Idiopathic Right Bundle Branch Block Outflow tract ventricular tachycardia Right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia (RVOT) is the most common with a female predominance. It is often exercise induced or enhanced. The site of origin is the right ventricular outflow tract and hence the electrocardiographic appearance is that of left bundle branch block and inferior axis. The mechanism is thought to be abnormal automaticity that is sensitive to adenosine.

Lymphangiogram A type of radiography used specifically to examine breast tissue. The procedure utilizes a low-dose of x-rays or radiation to generate an image. Mammography An imaging technique that utilizes positron emission tomography and computed tomography in a single machine. Positron Emission Tomography A technique for scanning bone and measuring bone mineral density (BMD). Dual X-ray Absorptiometry An imaging technique that uses a small dose of a radioactive chemical (isotope) called a tracer that can detect sites of cancer growth, trauma, infection or degenerative disorders. The tracer, which is either injected into a vein or swallowed, travels through the bloodstream to the target organ, and emits gamma rays, which are detected by a gamma camera and analyzed by a computer to form an image of the target organ. (NCI) Radionuclide Imaging The process by which an image is acquired by recording light emissions. Photography An endoscopic examination of the pharynx, larynx, trachea and esophagus. Panendoscopy A diagnostic radiologic test that involves the examination of the entire body in a single procedure.
