About this study

This chronic, prospective, non-randomized feasibility study is designed to evaluate the Integrated Patient Care (IPC) concept in subjects who already have either a Medtronic Chronicle Implantable Hemodynamic Monitor (IHM) or Chronicle Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) device implanted, and are currently enrolled in the Chronicle Offers Management to Patients with Advanced Signs \& Symptoms of Heart Failure (COMPASS-HF) Extension Phase Study (IDE # G020304). The purpose of the study is to use daily cardiac filling pressures from the Chronicle device to provide timely medication adjustments (diuretics) to subjects.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be asked to transmit to the CareLink Network daily. Data specific to this study (subject's daily estimated Pulmonary Arterial Diastolic (ePAD) pressure values) will be extracted from the CareLink database and transferred to the IPC clinician website.

As each subject is enrolled, clinicians at each participating site will determine the appropriate target pressure range for each subject based on a review of the subject's pressure data. Each day after enrollment, the subject's current pressure data will be compared to a target pressure range that the clinician sets for that subject.

The patient instruction set (PtIS) is limited to a daily diuretic prescription and associated supplements, per physician discretion. The PtIS should not include adjustments of non-heart failure medications and should not include heart failure medications that are not indicated for day-to-day adjustments (e.g. ACE-Inhibitors, Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs), and Beta-Blockers). The PtIS will be sent from the IPC clinician website to the subject through a Patient Home Monitor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Characterize the Technical Feasibility of the Network Based IPC System

    The proportion of study days a PtIS is based on the subjects' daily pressure state

    Measured: Baseline through Completion/Exit (an average of 3 months)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Characterize the Rate of IPC Setup System Changes

    The frequency of changes in the IPC setup during the study (an average of 3-months).

    Measured: Baseline through Completion/Exit (an average of 3-months)

  2. Quantify Subject Compliance to Daily PtIS

    The proporition of IPC days study subjects indicated they complied with their PtIS.

    Measured: Baseline through Completion/Exit (on average 3-months)

  3. Estimate Changes in Clinical Markers of Heart Failure and Kidney Function

    Changes in brain natriuretic peptide from baseline to study exit (an average of 3-months).

    Measured: Baseline through Completion/Exit (an average of 3-months)

  4. Summarize Adverse Events

    All serious adverse events, cardiovascular adverse events, and event related to the IPC system will be documented and summarized.

    Measured: Baseline through Completion/Exit (an average of 3-months)

  5. Estimate Changes in Clinical Markers of Heart Failure and Kidney Function

    Changes in estimated glomular filtration rate from baseline to study exit (an average of 3-months).

    Measured: Baseline through Completion/Exit (an average of 3-months)

  6. Estimate Changes in Clinical Markers of Heart Failure and Kidney Function

    Changes in blood urea nitrogen from baseline to study exit (an average of 3-months).

    Measured: Baseline through Completion/Exit (an average of 3-months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Diuretics in people with Heart Failure, run by Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure at 3 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 11 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jul 2018). 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?

Characterize the Technical Feasibility of the Network Based IPC System (time frame: Baseline through Completion/Exit (an average of 3 months)). 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 11 Jul 2018.
