About this study

Official title: National Tunisian Registry of Heart Failure

NATURE-HF is an observational, multicentric and longitudinal study of heart failure performed with 100 tunisian cardiologists.

Read the detailed description

The NATURE-HF is a national clinical non-interventional registry of heart failure, carried out in Tunisia at cardiology departments in hospitals and in liberal cardiology consultations. 100 cardiologists participate in the enrollment of the eligible patients as investigators. A Committee of Experts validates the protocol methodology and supervises the data-management. A Steering Committee helps investigators to monitor their patient inclusions, performs audit trails and prepares the statistical analysis plan for the study.

Collected data are managed by the DACIMA Clinical Suite®, the electronic data capture platform which complies with the FDA 21 CFR part 11 requirements (Food and Drug Administration 21 Code of Federal Regulations part 11), the HIPAA specifications (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and the ICH standards (International Conference on Harmonisation).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Dacima Consulting at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 22 Jan 2020. 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 Tunisia. 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?

Cardiovascular death (time frame: Time-To-Event measure up to 12 months from baseline). 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 NCT03262675, 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 22 Jan 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
