About this study

Official title: CardioMEMS Registry of the Frankfurt Heart Failure Center

Invasive hemodynamic monitoring in advanced heart failure patients is a relative new option. In order to investigate the impact of remote telemonitoring of pulmonary artery pressures on mortality and morbidity in a routine clinical setting in Germany, the investigators initiated this multicenbtric registry.

Read the detailed description

All patients who receive invasive hemodynamic monitoring using a pulmonary artery pressure sensor (CardioMEMS device) are offered participation in the registry. Routine heart-failure parameters, lab values, medication and QoL as obtained on the regular outpatients visits in the department are entered into a registry-specific database.

The investigators plan to asses the impact of telemonitoring on mortality, morbidity and QoL as well as on Guideline-recommended heart failure medication. In addition, it is planned to quantify the input in person time for telemonitoring.

What is being measured

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

  1. morbidity measured as worsening heart failure requiring hospitalisation and / or increase in diuretic dose

    morbidity

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Heart Failure, run by Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital at 2 sites in Germany.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. 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?

Contact Birgit Assmus, MD (+49 69 6301 ext. 84690, birgit.assmus@kgu.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

morbidity measured as worsening heart failure requiring hospitalisation and / or increase in diuretic dose (time frame: 5 years). 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 NCT03020043, which also lists 3 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 18 Sep 2019.
