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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Potential subjects include all adult patients who underwent evaluation for MCS for cardiogenic shock. Each adult patient who receives an MCSD at an institution will be screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria listed below.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients who receive any MCSD including Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA ECMO), surgical VAD, and percutaneous VAD, used to treat CS on or after 9/30/10. Intraaortic balloon pumping (IABP) is not considered an MCSD in this Registry.
  • Adult patients who have signed informed consent. For patients who are too ill to give informed consent the health care proxy of the patient or next of kin will be approached for the informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • patients younger than 18 years of age.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to gather information on patients who have heart failure and are eligible for one of the following two procedures: 1) mechanical support, i.e. ventricular assist device (VAD) or 2) heart transplant. the study seeks to determine which patient populations benefit from heart transplant or ventricular assist device. This will allow to offer the state-of-the-art care to the patients in heart failure.

Read the detailed description

Cardiogenic shock (CS) develops in the end stage of various etiologies of heart failure and continues to hold high mortality; ranging from 50 to 80%. Expert consensus recommends use of more powerful mechanical circulatory support device (MCSD) in this patient population; however, scientific evidence has been anecdotal relying on mostly single-center small case series and, more fundamentally, because there is no unified definition to grade the severity of the highly heterogeneous condition CS. Well-designed studies are warranted to precisely characterize the various "phenotypes" of CS as well as the role of MCSD in this condition with still excessive mortality.

This multicenter registry will be the first multicenter large-scale registry focused on mechanical circulatory support (MCS) therapy for CS. The fundamental goal of RESCUE is to advance the understanding and application of MCSD in order to improve the persistently dismal survival of patients with CS with the following intents:

  1. Elucidate current indication and outcomes of MCSD use in CS.
  2. Redefine CS with better description of this disease entity, which will allow better prediction of outcomes, selection of treatment strategy, and comparison and design of studies.
  3. Facilitate the refinement of patient selection to maximize outcomes with current and new device options.
  4. Improve and expedite new device clinical trials by providing historical control data.
  5. Develop consensus "best practice" guidelines to improve clinical management by reducing short and long-term complications of MCSD therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. 1-year survival post mechanical circulatory assist device implant

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. survival to discharge post mechanical circulatory assist device implant

    Measured: until the enrolled patient is discharged. Expected to occur within 90 days of enrollment.

  2. 30-day survival post mechanical circulatory assist device implant

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Number of adverse events during mechanical circulatory assist device support

    Measured: up to 30-days of weaning from the device.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 13 Apr 2023. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of funding). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

1-year survival post mechanical circulatory assist device implant (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT02790242, which also lists 5 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 13 Apr 2023.
