About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Non-Randomized, Prospective Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Feasibility of Wireless, Intermittent Monitoring of Right Heart Pressures in Adult Heart Failure Subjects

The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the wireless monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure using the CardioMEMS HF Pressure Measurement System in adult subjects with NYHA Class III Heart Failure.

Read the detailed description

The trial is designed to demonstrate that the CardioMEMS Sensor can be positioned in the right or left pulmonary artery, and that Sensor pressure measurements correlate to standardized methods of intra-cardiac pressure measurements post-sensor implant and at the 60 day visit. Safety will be monitored by the occurrence of adverse events throughout the trial.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary objective is to evaluate the wireless monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure using the CardioMEMS HF Pressure Measurement System in adult subjects with Class III Heart Failure.

    The trial will demonstrate that the CardioMEMS Sensor can be positioned in the right or left pulmonary artery, and the Sensor pulmonary artery pressure measurements correlate to standardized methods of intra-cardiac pressure measurements immediately after deployment of the sensor and at the 60 day follow-up visit. Safety is assessed by monitoring the occurrence of adverse events.

    Measured: after implant of the sensor and at 60 day visit

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To demonstrate the capability of the CardioMEMS HF System to obtain the pressure measurement from the Sensor and transmit the pulmonary artery pressure data to a secure database.

    Measured: after deployment of the sensor and at 60 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CardioMEMS HF Pressure Measurement System in people with NYHA Class III Heart Failure, run by CardioMEMS at 4 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 5 inclusion and 15 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The primary objective is to evaluate the wireless monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure using the CardioMEMS HF Pressure Measurement System in adult subjects with Class III Heart Failure. (time frame: after implant of the sensor and at 60 day visit). 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 19 Jan 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
