INI is a national reference center for treatment and research in infectious diseases and tropical medicine in Brazil, which follows a large cohort of patients with Chagas disease, all of them diagnosed by two simultaneously positive serological tests (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and indirect immunofluorescence). Patients included in the study are randomly divided in two groups: intervention and control groups. Safety analysis will be performed by monitoring any symptoms presented during data collection and follow-up study.\n\nOne of the potential risks that the patient may experience during the study is a noninvasive test that will be performed on a treadmill in a controlled environment, with the possibility of the appearance of symptoms such as fatigue, dyspnea, chest pain, dizziness, with minimal chances of occurring complications of difficult clinical control. Except for the blood test and the cardiopulmonary exercise test, the other tests to be performed are non-invasive and do not bring any risk to the participant's health. Will be collect 10 ml of blood which will be stored for up to five years for biomarker assessments.\n\nDuring the exercise sessions, patients will be clinically monitored for decompensation, need for hospitalization and suspend or end the participation on the study. All cases will be individually assessed to determine the reversibility of the clinical status. Those cases will continue to be followed by the assistant staff, offering all the clinical support available in INI."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria: (1) Chagas disease diagnosis by serology; (2) chronic chagasic cardiomyopathy, with left ventricular ejection fraction \\<45% or compensated heart failure (3) clinical stability in the last three months, (4) adherence to the ambulatory clinical treatment and (5) age above 18 years.\n\nExclusion Criteria: (1) pregnancy, (2) neuromuscular limitations, (3) tobacco use, (4) evidence of nonchagasic heart disease, (5) systemic conditions that limits exercise practice or hemodynamic stress tests (6) unavailability to attend three times a week for a minimum of six months, (7) practitioners of regular exercise and (8) claustrophobia.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02517632', 'acronym': 'PEACH', 'briefTitle': 'Physical Exercise Program in Chronic Chagas Heart Disease', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Disease'}, 'officialTitle': 'Impact of a Physical Exercise Program in Cardiopulmonary RehAbilitation In Patients With Chronic Chagas Heart Disease: a Randomized Controlled Trial (PEACH Trial)', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CAAE:38038914.6.0000.5262'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Exercise group', 'description': 'This arm will be submitted to a exercise session and counseling from pharmaceutical and nutritional professionals.', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Exercise, nutritional and pharmaceutical counceling']}, {'type': 'OTHER', 'label': 'Control group', 'description': 'This arm will have only the counseling from pharmaceutical and nutritional professionals.', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Nutritional and pharmaceutical counceling']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Exercise, nutritional and pharmaceutical counceling', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'description': 'The exercise group will be submitted to a physical exercise intervention protocol performed three times per week, 60 minutes per session, during 6-month period, and a monthly counseling from pharmaceutical and nutritional professionals provided during the follow-up and consisted on general guidance about healthy eating habits for patients with heart failure, mainly sodium and water intake, and medication usage, particularly drug dosage and compliance.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Exercise group']}, {'name': 'Nutritional and pharmaceutical counceling', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'description': 'The control group will be submitted to a monthly counseling from pharmaceutical and nutritional professionals provided during the follow-up and consisted on general guidance about healthy eating habits for patients with heart failure, mainly sodium and water intake, and medication usage, particularly drug dosage and compliance.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Control group']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '21040-360', 'city': 'Rio de Janeiro', 'country': 'Brazil', 'facility': 'Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation.', 'geoPoint': {'lat': -22.90642, 'lon': -43.18223}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Fernanda Mendes, M.D.', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Disease'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Disease', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'National Institute of Cardiology, Laranjeiras, Brazil', 'class': 'OTHER_GOV'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Researcher', 'investigatorFullName': 'Fernanda de Souza Nogueira Sardinha Mendes', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Evandro Chagas National Institute of Infectious Disease'}}}}
