About this study

This is a pilot, multicenter, real-world, single-visit, low risk, phase IV interventional study to efficiently identify new cases of heart failure (HF) Stage C in subjects who are at risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease in high-volume ambulatory primary care settings in 3 countries in Central America.

Read the detailed description

Subjects with 2 or more CV risk factors will be identified and will undergo an NYHA score assessment. If the NYHA score is ≥ II, the serum NT-proBNP concentration will be determined on-site on the same day. If the serum NT proBNP concentration is ≥ 125 pg/mL, the subject will be referred to a country specific central echocardiography laboratory for a transthoracic echocardiogram to measure the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and relevant structural heart disease.

What participants receive

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

  • NYHA assessmentDiagnostic test

    The New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification of HF

  • Serum NT-proBNP concentrationProcedure or surgery

    Subjects with NYHA score ≥ II will undergo a rapid, on site serum NT-proBNP test on the same day of the visit. Roche CARDIAC proBNP+ test, using the Cobas h 232 device, is a quantitative immunological test for the determination of NT-proBNP in heparinized venous blood.

  • Transthoracic EcocardiogramDiagnostic test

    Subjects with a serum NT-proBNP result of ≥ 125 pg/mL at Visit 1 will be referred to a study cardiologist for a transthoracic echocardiogram to assess LVEF and relevant structural heart disease

Subjects with CV risk factorsExperimentalSubjects with 2 or more CV risk factors will be identified. Cardiovascular risk factors include hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, arrhythmia requiring therapy, moderate to severe valvular disease, history of alcohol abuse, smoking, cancer chemotherapy, or thoracic radiotherapy, and abnormal findings in the most recent ECG or thoracic X-ray.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Cases of HF stage C

    Proportion of subjects with HF Stage C among those with 2 or more CV risk factors

    Measured: 5 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Comparison of number of subjects diagnosed with HF stage C

    Comparison of the number of subjects diagnosed with l HF Stage C versus the time matched historical proportion at the same study sites

    Measured: 5 months

  2. Percentage of subjects with CV risk factos

    Percentage of subjects with each listed CV risk factor among those with HF Stage C

    Measured: 5 months

  3. Percentage of subjects with CV risk factors among participating countries

    Percentage of subjects with each listed CV risk factor among participating countries

    Measured: 5 months

  4. Ratio of subjects with each listed CV risk factor between subjects with and without HF Stage C

    Ratio of presence versus absence of each listed CV risk factor between subjects with overall HF Stage C and without HF

    Measured: 5 months

  5. Incidence of equality of HF Stage C among participating countries

    Proportion and equality of proportions of HF Stage C subjects among participating countries

    Measured: 5 months

  6. Mean NT-proBNP levels among subjects diagnosed with HF Stage C versus subjects with no HF

    Comparison of the mean NT-proBNP (≥ 125 pg/mL) levels among subjects diagnosed with overall HF Stage C versus subjects with no HF

    Measured: 5 months

Model description
A recent Cochrane analysis reported a high burden of HF in Latin America (Ciapponi et al 2016), reporting an incidence of HF of 199 cases per 100 000 person-years. A cross-sectional study of 633 individuals aged ≥ 45 years, randomly selected and registered in a primary care program in Brazil (Jorge et al 2016) reported 36.6% of patients with Stage A HF, 42.7% with Stage B, and and 9.3% with symptomatic HF (Stage C). In real world settings primary care physician may attend to up to 40 patients per day, which rose to as many as 70 patients per day during high season demand, meaning in some circunstances physicians may only have up to 12 minutes per patient so patients with HF may go unnoticed. The aim of this study is to assess the practicality of an algorithm to identify new cases of HF Stage C in subjects who are at risk of CV disease in real world high-volume ambulatory primary care settings in Central America.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NYHA assessment, Serum NT-proBNP concentration and Transthoracic Ecocardiogram in people with Heart Failure, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 5 sites in 3 countries.

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 16 inclusion and 3 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 31 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Dominican Republic, Guatemala, El Salvador. 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?

Number of Cases of HF stage C (time frame: 5 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 31 Mar 2022.
