Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Admission diagnosis of heart failure and AHFS as defined by the following: A chief complaint of dyspnea or fatigue; elevated left ventricular pressure. Elevated left ventricular pressure is indicated by at least one of the following: signs of volume overload pedal edema, crackles, consistent chest X-ray, increased measurement of left ventricular end-diastolic diameter or volume, or elevated BNP level.
  • Previously unrecognized or recognized but untreated SDB diagnosed or confirmed on attended inpatient sleep study during the index hospitalization with AHFS. SDB is defined as one of the following syndromes:
  • AHI>15 with more than 50% apneas being central (CSA); or
  • AHI>30 events with more than 50% of the events being obstructive (severe OSA) in patients with LVEF <30%.
  • Projected length of stay >2 days on admission day to ensure uniformity of the underlying severity of the AHFS and to enable the introduction of the ASV device and education
  • LVEF <45% within 1 year of admission. An echocardiogram may be performed to confirm the LVEF during the hospitalization to determine eligibility.
  • Ongoing targeted treatment for heart failure during the current hospitalization including at least one of the following: IV diuretics, IV infusion of inotropes or vasodilators, or planned revascularization, or device therapy.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who were on supplemental oxygen for an indication other than SDB or heart failure prior to admission. These are patients who have chronic respiratory insufficiency.
  • Patients on treatment targeting CSA or OSA (ASV, oxygen, or CPAP); and patients who already provided and rejected positive airway pressure therapy due to intolerance of the pressure or the claustrophobia.
  • Cardiogenic shock and hemodynamic instability with MAP less than 55 mmHg off vasopressors, or concurrently on vasopressor treatment, left ventricular assist devices, or intra-aortic Balloon Pump. Inotropic agents will not constitute an exclusion criterion. Patients will be eligible once more stable off vasopressors.
  • Acute respiratory failure or insufficiency defined by (PaO2/FIO2) ratio less than 250, or FIO2 requirement more than 40%. Patients are eligible to participate once their FIO2 requirement is below 30%.
  • Overt neurological deficit or patients who arrived from a long-term care facility or expected to be discharged to one; and patients who have very poor functional outcome precluding ability to use the ASV device independently
  • Renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy; Patients will not be excluded if they were undergoing ultra-filtration for volume removal.
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Moderate to severe chronic obstructive lung disease (FEV1/FVC < 55%).
  • Patients who are likely to receive heart transplant or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in the subsequent year. These are patients who have high standing on the transplant list during the index hospitalization or have a cardiothoracic evaluation for implantation of LVAD.
  • Patients on long term or "bridging" inotropic infusion, or short life expectancy due to concomitant illness or heart failure
  • Patients who report severe sleepiness or who consider themselves at risk while driving.
  • Patients who fail the secondary screening procedure. Secondary screening procedure involves the patient being asked to wear the device and experience the pressure delivery for at least 30 minutes while relaxed.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of in-hospital diagnosis and treatment of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) on post-discharge mortality and readmissions in- hospitalized patients with acute heart failure syndrome and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of in-hospital diagnosis and treatment of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) on post-discharge mortality and readmissions in- hospitalized patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The study is a randomized controlled trial in HFrEF patients who are hospitalized with acute heart failure syndrome (AHFS) and have an in-hospital sleep study diagnostic of SDB. Participants will be randomized to either the current standard of care of AHFS treatment or an intervention arm in which expedited treatment with adaptive servo ventilation is initiated immediately upon in-hospital diagnosis of SDB.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Adaptive Servo VentilationDevice

    Also called Bipap AutoSV

    Participants are provided with an Adaptive Servo Ventilation (ASV) device for targeted treatment of SDB during inpatient hospitalization or shortly after discharge.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Adaptive Servo Ventilation in people with Sleep Apnea Syndromes and Heart Failure, run by Rami Khayat at 1 site 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 7 inclusion and 11 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 11 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 11 Jun 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?

Hospital Readmissions (time frame: Six 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 Jun 2019.
