Study population: Adult patients 50 years or older with HFrEF/HFmrEF and no history of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and not tested for SDB within the prior year will be tested for sleep apnea using a home sleep apnea test (WatchPAT device).

Prevalence Phase Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Diagnosed with heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF <50%) at least 3 months prior to enrollment
  2. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II-IV
  3. Treated and optimized on heart failure guideline directed medical therapy as indicated for at least 4 weeks, including angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) (or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)), aldosterone receptor antagonists, beta-blockers and/or sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) antagonists
  4. Age 50 years or older
  5. Signed Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee (EC) approved informed consent
  6. In the opinion of the investigator, subject is willing and able to comply with the protocol, including the cognitive function assessment

Prevalence Phase Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Hospitalized for heart failure-related complications in the last 4 weeks
  2. History of SDB and/or prior or ongoing treatment for SDB or tested for SDB within the prior year

Cognitive Phase Inclusion Criteria:

  1. AHI ≥ 15 events per hour and CAHI ≥ 50% of total AHI (Case group) or AHI < 5 events per hour (Control group) based on the baseline HSAT
  2. Per the patient and investigator, willing and able to postpone CSA treatment until completion of the study assessment visit (Visit 3)

Cognitive Phase Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Color blindness
  2. Currently taking opioids
  3. Has taken medications for memory/cognition within the last 3 months (including but not limited to cholinesterase inhibitors and/or glutamate regulators)
  4. Cerebrovascular accident (stroke or transient ischemic attack) in the last 12 months
  5. Diagnosed with neurological disease including but not limited to history of seizures, meningitis, traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism.

About this study

Study to assess the prevalence of central sleep apnea in patients with heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF <50%) followed by case-control study to assess the link between central sleep apnea and cognitive function

Read the detailed description

The study will be conducted in two phases: prevalence phase and cognitive phase.

Adult patients with HFrEF/HFmrEF will perform a home sleep apnea test (HSAT). Patients will be assigned to one of the following groups based on their sleep study results: CSA, other SDB, or no SDB. This constitutes the prevalence phase of the study.

The cognitive phase of the study is a case-control study that will assess cognitive function in 20 patients in the CSA group (case) and 20 patients in the no SDB group (control).

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT06313840
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Case group - subjects with central sleep apneaPatients with moderate to severe CSA defined by an apnea hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15 events per hour and a central apnea hypopnea index (CAHI) ≥ 50% of total AHI.
Control group - subjects with no sleep disordered breathingPatients with no SDB defined by an AHI < 5 events per hour.
Other SDB group - subjects with other forms of sleep disordered breathingPatients that do not meet criteria for CSA or no SDB

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of CSA in tested HFrEF/HFmrEF patients

    Determine the prevalence of CSA in a contemporary population of HFrEF/HFmrEF patients completing a Home Sleep Apnea Test (using a WatchPAT device) during the prevalence phase of the study.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Difference in cognitive function scores between the HFrEF/HFmrEF CSA and no SDB groups using the CANTAB assessment.

    Evaluate differences in cognitive function between adult patients with heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF/HFmrEF) (LVEF <50%) and central sleep apnea (CSA) versus patients with HFrEF/HFmrEF and no sleep disordered breathing (SDB) using a battery of assessments from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB).

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure and Central Sleep Apnea, run by Zoll Medical Corporation at 1 site in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 10 Feb 2025. 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 Poland. 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?

Prevalence of CSA in tested HFrEF/HFmrEF patients (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 10 Feb 2025.
