Trial summary

Researchers want to learn more about the treatments doctors choose to treat heart failure. Heart failure means the heart isn't pumping as well as it should be. Heart failure can lead to other serious medical conditions, and it can lead to hospitalization or death. Read more about this study

Study population: Patients diagnosed with incident HF, in an outpatient setting in Colombia during the time period of 01 JUN 2019 to 31 MAY 2020. The universe of the study corresponds to all individuals who are identified in the database as having HF diagnosed by ICD-10 code in the prescription; the target population corresponds to subjects who were diagnosed and prescribed with a HF treatment at the selected health insurance company and whose prescriptions were filled in Audifarma.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients (older than 18 years) with a diagnosis of HF according to ICD-10 with a dispensing of some medicine and it is registered in the database of Audifarma S.A. during the observation period will be included

Who cannot join

  • Patients with Acute HF without prior diagnosis of HF

About this study

Official title: HEArt Failure Treatment Patterns: A Descriptive Study in COlombia

Researchers want to learn more about the treatments doctors choose to treat heart failure.

There are different types of treatments available for people who have heart failure, and these work in different ways. In this study, the researchers will collect information about Colombian patients who have heart failure.

The main purpose of this study is to identify patterns in the treatments that doctors first prescribe to heart failure patients in Columbia. To do this, the researchers will review information from the patients' medical records and from a drug-dispensing database.

The study will include adult patients who have been diagnosed with heart failure in Columbia from June 1st, 2019 to May 31st, 2020.

There will be no required visits, treatments, or procedures in this study. The researchers will collect information about the treatments the patients have been prescribed by their own doctors.

Individual data sharing
No: Availability of this study's data will later be determined according to Bayer's commitment to the EFPIA/PhRMA "Principles for responsible clinical trial data sharing". This pertains to scope, timepoint and process of data access. As such, Bayer commits to sharing upon request from qualified researchers patient-level clinical trial data, study-level clinical trial data, and protocols from clinical trials in patients for medicines and indications approved in the US and EU as necessary for conducting legitimate research. This applies to data on new medicines and indications that have been approved by the EU and US regulatory agencies on or after January 01, 2014. Interested researchers can use www.clinicalstudydatarequest.com to request access to anonymized patient-level data and supporting documents from clinical studies to conduct research.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Bayer at 1 site in Colombia.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Dec 2022. 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 Colombia. 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?

Treatment initiation patterns (time frame: Database analysis: HF patients from June 1st, 2019 to May 31st, 2020). 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 15 Dec 2022.
