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 to 105 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Hospitalized heart failure patients

Who may be able to join

  • Any patient aged 18 years or older admitted to hospital or seen in the emergency department with heart failure defined clinically

About this study

This study is a prospective registry that aims to predict readmissions in patients with heart failure, using -omics, machine learning, patient reported outcomes, clinical data and other high-dimensional data sources.

Read the detailed description

There is substantial need to better predict outcomes across the spectrum of heart failure (HF) phenotypes in order to provide more efficient care with greater precision. Specifically, no validated methods have been adopted to predict outcomes reflecting transitions in health status across the continuum of HF and changes in cardiac function. A key transition is hospitalization - either readmission or de novo cardiovascular hospital admission. This is a major unmet health care need, to be able to better predict who will require hospital admission.

Novel contributions of biomarkers, -omics, remote patient monitoring, and artificial intelligence (AI). It is anticipated that prediction of readmission and many other outcomes will be further improved by measurement of circulating biomarkers and by incorporating methods from AI including machine learning and probabilistic generative models that can incorporate the lens of how physicians and patients think. Machine learning that incorporates many different types of data, including physician interpretation and a broad array of biomarker/-omics molecular information can lead to significant improvements in predictive accuracy. Novel multimarker strategies coupled with machine learning may enable the ability of physicians to predict a range of outcomes (e.g., transitions in HF health status and LVEF) and refine clinical prediction models. Furthermore, the investigators will collect patient data, including patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), and physiological data (e.g. heart rate, blood pressure, and daily weights data) and integrate these data points into predictive models. The investigators will use the PROMs obtainable using Medly as a predictor of hospitalization, and as an outcome. In this proposal, the investigators will take advantage of recent advances in both deep and high throughput proteomics technologies to perform high-resolution analyses. These novel factors can be integrated into new electronic algorithms to improve HF care in the population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2021. 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 Canada. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Douglas S Lee, MD, PhD (4163403861, dlee@ices.on.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cardiovascular readmission (time frame: 30 day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Sep 2021.
