About this study

Official title: Lyon and Rhône Alpes Auvergne Registry of Congestive Heart Failure

This is a prospective cohort study of patients with Heart Failure with an eighteen-month follow-up aimed to collect all demographic, clinical, biological and para-clinical data to study population characteristics, assess prognosis markers and occurrence of HF treatment side effects.

Congestive Heart failure is a frequent pathology and its prevalence increases with age. Its prognosis stays pejorative despite years of major therapeutical progress. In recent trials, all-cause mortality rates at 1-year reach up to 20% and 50% at 5 years.

Medical care of congestive heart failure is based on precise international recommendations. The association of Beta-Blockers, renin-angiotensin system blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, represent the basis of the pharmacological treatment.

Cardiac resynchronization treatment and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator are additional efficient treatments that reduce events in appropriately selected patients.

Despite these improvements, the prognostic of congestive heart failure in registers is worse than those observed in randomized trials. This can be explained by differences in congestive heart failure patient populations and/or by a less rigorous medical care where treatments are not optimized.

The evaluation of medical care in congestive heart failure is today of utmost importance.

Integrating new pharmacological molecules, medical devices and the application of new recommendations have major interest for documentation and practical changes.

The main objective of this cohort will be to evaluate the evolution of the 12-month quality of life score of a HF patient and the characteristics and treatments associated with it.

Receives: Other: Blood sampling and Quality of life questionnaire.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from Baseline Quality of life questionnaire : EuroQol (EQ-5D) at 12 months

    Measurement of quality of life of patients with heart failure: patient will answer to this questionnaire (Mobility, Autonomy of the person, Current activities, Pain ,Anxiéty/Depression)

    ) at baseline and at 12th month visit. The evolution between these two scores will be analysed .

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Renal function : glomerular filtration rate

    Assessing the renal function evolution of patients with heart failure the glomerular filtration rate will be calculated according to CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease - Epidemiology Collaboration) formula.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Renal function : glomerular filtration rate

    Assessing the renal function evolution of patients with heart failure the glomerular filtration rate will be calculated according to CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease - Epidemiology Collaboration) formula.

    Measured: 2 months

  3. NT-proBNP

    Measure of NT-proBNP will be done at 18th month in order to correlate the effect of low blood pression and renal function decreasing on NT-proBNP variability

    Measured: 18 months

  4. number of death (all-cause)

    Measured: 18 months

  5. number of all cardiovascular cause death

    Measured: 18 months

  6. number all unscheduled hospitalization for heart failure

    Measured: 18 months

  7. number of stroke

    Measured: 18 months

  8. nonfatal myocardial infarction

    Measured: 18 months

  9. cardiac assistance or heart transplantation

    Measured: 18 months

  10. symptomatic hypotension

    Measured: 18 months

  11. number of dialysis

    Measured: 18 months

  12. number ventricular arrhythmias

    (ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation)

    Measured: 18 months

  13. Heart failure stage will be assessed thanks to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification

    Measured: Baseline, 6, 12 and 18 months

  14. Cardiac function

    Cardiac function will be evaluated on Echography Trans Thoracic at baseline and at the 12 months visit.

    • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction
    • levitation pressure filling (yes/No)
    • Right ventricular dysfunction (yes/no)
    • pulmonary artery systolic pressure (mmHg)
    • right atrial pressure

    Measured: Baseline and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sampling and Quality of life questionnaire. in people with Congestive Heart Failure, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 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 18 Nov 2024. 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 France. 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 from Baseline Quality of life questionnaire : EuroQol (EQ-5D) at 12 months (time frame: 12 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 18 Nov 2024.
