About this study

Official title: Assessment Of Follow-Up Methods For Patients Treated In The Long-Term With A Specific Aldosterone Receptor Antagonist

On a population of patients followed by an office-based cardiologist and treated with eplerenone, the objectives of the survey are:

  • To describe the characteristics of the population treated.
  • To describe the methods of use of eplerenone (posology, duration of treatment, medicinal combinations).
  • To describe the follow-up methods of the treatment.
  • To describe the possible interruptions of the treatment
Read the detailed description

A sample size in the region of N = 400 patients will allow this accuracy of estimation, as for this size, the half-width would be equal to 5% for a frequency of 50% corresponding to a confidence interval of maximum width. In view of the type of survey and the need for 12 months of monitoring in the context of standard practice, it may be anticipated that the drop-off rate will be about 20%. A sample size of N = 500 patients was therefore chosen.

What is being measured

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

  1. Systolic Ejection Fraction as a Measure of Left Ventricular Dysfunction at Inclusion for Full Analysis Set (FAS) Population

    Left ventricular dysfunction, a condition in which the left ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality, was assessed based on systolic ejection fraction. Systolic ejection fraction was the fraction of the end-diastolic volume (EDV) that was ejected out of left ventricle with each contraction.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Systolic Ejection Fraction as a Measure of Left Ventricular Dysfunction at Inclusion for Safety Analysis Set (SAS) Population

    Left ventricular dysfunction, a condition in which the left ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality, was assessed based on systolic ejection fraction. Systolic ejection fraction was the fraction of the end-diastolic volume (EDV) that was ejected out of left ventricle with each contraction.

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Percentage of Participants With Eplerenone Treatment Compliance at Month 3 in FAS Population

    Participants receiving eplerenone on the basis of the approved summary of product characteristics (SmPC) were said to be treatment compliant.

    Measured: Month 3

  4. Percentage of Participants With Eplerenone Treatment Compliance at Month 6 in FAS Population

    Participants receiving eplerenone on the basis of the approved SmPC were said to be treatment compliant.

    Measured: Month 6

  5. Percentage of Participants With Eplerenone Treatment Compliance at Month 9 in FAS Population

    Participants receiving eplerenone on the basis of the approved SmPC were said to be treatment compliant.

    Measured: Month 9

  6. Percentage of Participants With Eplerenone Treatment Compliance at Month 12 in FAS Population

    Participants receiving eplerenone on the basis of the approved SmPC were said to be treatment compliant.

    Measured: Month 12

  7. Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Eplerenone Treatment Dosage at Month 3 in FAS Population

    Change of eplerenone dosage = modified dosage (mg daily) - dosage at start of treatment (mg daily). A positive change indicated dosage increase and a negative change indicated dosage decrease.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3

  8. Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Eplerenone Treatment Dosage at Month 6 in FAS Population

    Change of eplerenone dosage = modified dosage (mg daily) - dosage at start of treatment (mg daily). A positive change indicated dosage increase and a negative change indicated dosage decrease.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 6

  9. Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Eplerenone Treatment Dosage at Month 9 in FAS Population

    Change of eplerenone dosage = modified dosage (mg daily) - dosage at start of treatment (mg daily). A positive change indicated dosage increase and a negative change indicated dosage decrease.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 9

  10. Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Eplerenone Treatment Dosage at Month 12 in FAS Population

    Change of eplerenone dosage = modified dosage (mg daily) - dosage at start of treatment (mg daily). A positive change indicated dosage increase and a negative change indicated dosage decrease.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 12

  11. Percentage of Participants Who Died in SAS Population

    Measured: Baseline up to Month 12

  12. Percentage of Participants Hospitalized in FAS Population

    Measured: Baseline up to Month 12

  13. Number of Participants With Worsened Renal Function

    Measured: Baseline up to Month 12

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants With Reason for Increased or Decreased Eplerenone Dose

    Measured: Baseline up to Month 12

  2. Number of Participants With Concomitant Cardiovascular Treatment in FAS Population

    Concomitant cardiovascular treatment included any cardiovascular treatment other than, and in addition to, the study treatment taken at any time during the study.

    Measured: Baseline up to Month 12

  3. Number of Participants With Concomitant Cardiovascular Treatment in SAS Population

    Concomitant cardiovascular treatment included any cardiovascular treatment other than, and in addition to, the study treatment taken at any time during the study.

    Measured: Baseline up to Month 12

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Eplerenone Treatment in FAS Population

    Measured: Baseline up to Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Left Ventricular Dysfunction Post Myocardial Infarction, run by Pfizer.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 30 Jan 2013). 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?

Systolic Ejection Fraction as a Measure of Left Ventricular Dysfunction at Inclusion for Full Analysis Set (FAS) Population (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 13 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 19 Dec 2018.
