About this study

Official title: Exercise Training Effect on Quality of Life and Exercise Capacity in Patients With Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Pilot Study

The purpose of this is to develop and implement a pilot study that will demonstrate the ability to recruit, enroll, retain, conduct exercise training, and collect pre and post outcomes on the effect of exercise training on quality of life (QOL) and exercise capacity in patients with a diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF).

What participants receive

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

  • Exercise TrainingBehavioural

    Study subjects will receive medically supervised aerobic and resistance exercise training for 1 hour per session, 3 times per week for 6 weeks at the Cardiac Rehab center and then transition to home or YMCA partnership based exercise with staff follow-up contact for an additional 3 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Quality of Life (QOL) score pre and post exercise training (ET).

    Measured: 9 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in exercise capacity/tolerance pre and post ET using Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing.

    Symptom limited treadmill testing with expired gas measurement and analysis. Exercise capacity measured as Peak Vo2 (peak exercise oxygen uptake) in ml/min/kg. Continuous monitoring of 12 lead electrocardiogram and blood pressure measured every 2 minutes. Peak Vo2 defined as highest Vo2 value of the last 30 seconds before termination of exercise. Exercise time and peak workload will be measured for exercise tolerance.

    Measured: 9 weeks

  2. Demonstrated ability to coordinate patient transition from clinic to home or YMCA partnership based exercise program with weekly staff follow-up within the study timeline.

    Measured: 9 weeks

  3. Capture 90 day hospital readmission data starting with study enrollment date and within the participants' study timeline.

    Measured: 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise Training in people with Heart Failure, run by MultiCare Health System Research Institute 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2017. 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?

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?

Change in Quality of Life (QOL) score pre and post exercise training (ET). (time frame: 9 weeks). 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 NCT02696486, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Jan 2017.
