About this study
Official title: PRECEDE-HF -Prospective, Randomized Evaluation of Cardiac Compass With OptiVol in the Early Detection of Decompensation Events for Heart Failure
The purpose of the PRECEDE-HF study is to collect data to compare patients whose heart failure is managed using Cardiac Compass with OptiVol (which is a tool in the device that records information about the heart that doctors can use to help treat their heart disease) combined with standard treatment methods (Access Group) to patients whose heart failure is managed by standard treatment methods only (Control Group). This comparison will show if the additional monitoring provided by Cardiac Compass with OptiVol delays the time patients are first admitted to hospital for heart failure or delays the time to death.
Read the detailed description
PRECEDE-HF was a prospective, multi-center, randomized, investigational device exemption (IDE) clinical study. The purpose of this study was to collect data required to determine whether the use of Cardiac Compass including OptiVol Fluid Status Monitoring with standard clinical assessment ("Access Arm") will result in a longer time to first heart failure hospitalization or death compared to standard clinical assessment alone ("Control Arm") and to support the approval of the following device features:
- OptiVol Alert (audible and home monitor alerts) for use in Medtronic devices
- SentryCheck™ Monitor
- OptiVol Alert Suspend (OptiVol enhancement)
- OptiVol Reference Impedance Adjustment (OptiVol enhancement)
- Conditions
- Congestive Heart Failure
- Being tested
- Cardiac Compass with OptiVol Fluid Status Monitoring, Standard of Care alone (clinical assessment)

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Heart-Failure Hospitalization or All-Cause Death
A composite endpoint of heart-failure hospitalization or all-cause death. To demonstrate a longer time to first heart failure (HF) hospitalization or death in HF subjects managed with standard clinical assessment using Cardiac Compass Trends with OptiVol Fluid Status Monitoring ("Access Arm") compared to HF subjects managed with standard clinical assessment alone ("Control Arm")
Measured: Up to five years
Number of Subjects Proportion Who Have a Safety Composite Event Within the First 6 Months Post-randomization Between the Access Arm and the Control Arm
A safety composite event is defined as an event that includes one or more of the following: Syncope, Worsening renal function resulting in IV therapy, ultrafiltration, or dialysis, Hypotension and/or hypovolemia resulting in the administration of IV fluids, Clinically significant electrolyte abnormalities resulting in IV replacement or ER/hospitalization for correction, Appropriately detected sustained VT/VF episode, Death
Measured: Up to five years
Secondary outcomes (2)
Combined Endpoint of All-cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Hospitalizations
To demonstrate a reduction in the combined endpoint of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular hospitalizations in the Access Arm compared to the Control Arm
Measured: up to five years
Cardiovascular Hospitalizations
To demonstrate a reduction in cardiovascular hospitalizations in the Access Arm compared to the Control Arm
Measured: up to five years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Cardiac Compass with OptiVol Fluid Status Monitoring in people with Congestive Heart Failure, run by Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure at 33 sites in United States.
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 11 inclusion and 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 33 sites in United States. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Apr 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Participants With Heart-Failure Hospitalization or All-Cause Death (time frame: Up to five years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Apr 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
