About this study

Official title: Gas Exchange for Predicting Hospital Heart Failure Readmissions Clinical Evaluation Study

To determine whether, and if so, which gas exchange parameters measured on the Shape-HF Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing System predict 30 and 180 day re-hospitalization in subjects discharged from hospitalization for an episode of acute decompensated heart failure.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-specialty clinical study. This study is intended to evaluate the select gas exchange parameters during a short, sub-max bout of exercise using a simple stationary step on day of discharge to predict the subjects' readmission for acute decompensated heart failure.

acute decompensated heart failureAdult subjects anticipating discharge from a hospitalization where the primary discharge diagnosis is acute decompensated heart failure and who are not excluded due to existing conditions.

What is being measured

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

  1. 1. To evaluate if exercise gas exchange tests can predict 30 day hospital readmission for heart failure.

    The analysis of exercise gas exchange (using the Shape-HF Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing System) of the incidence of hospital readmission through 30 days ± 3 days post discharge follow-up.

    Measured: 30 days ± 3 days post discharge

  2. 2. To evaluate which gas exchange patterns were most highly associated with 30 day risk of readmission for recurrent acute decompensated heart failure.

    The analysis of exercise gas exchange (using the Shape-HF Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing System) of the incidence of hospital readmission through 30 days ± 3 days post discharge follow-up.

    Measured: 30 days ± 3 days post discharge

  3. 3. To determine the incidence of Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAE).

    The analysis of the incidence of AEs and SAEs on the day of discharge post Shape-HF Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing System through 30 days ± 3 days post discharge follow-up and through 180 days ± 15 days post discharge follow-up.

    Measured: 30 days ± 3 days post discharge follow-up and through 180 days ± 15 days post discharge

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. 1. To evaluate if exercise gas exchange tests can predict 180 day hospital readmission for heart failure.

    The analysis of exercise gas exchange (using the Shape-HF Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing System) of the incidence of hospital readmission through 180 days ± 15 days post discharge follow-up.

    Measured: 180 days ± 15 days post discharge

  2. 2. To evaluate which gas exchange patterns were most highly associated with 180 day risk of readmission for recurrent acute decompensated heart failure.

    The analysis of exercise gas exchange (using the Shape-HF Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing System) of the incidence of hospital readmission through 180 days ± 15 days post discharge follow-up.

    Measured: 180 days ± 15 days post discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Decompensated Heart Failure, run by Shape Medical Systems, Inc. at 7 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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

1. To evaluate if exercise gas exchange tests can predict 30 day hospital readmission for heart failure. (time frame: 30 days ± 3 days post discharge). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01960218, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 4 Apr 2014.
