Trial summary

Heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot pump blood effectively, often leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath and fluid retention. After hospitalization for heart failure, patients remain at high risk of worsening symptoms, emergency visits, and hospital readmission. Read more about this study

About this study

Heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot pump blood effectively, often leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath and fluid retention. After hospitalization for heart failure, patients remain at high risk of worsening symptoms, emergency visits, and hospital readmission.

This study is designed to evaluate whether using a wearable monitoring device, called the Heart Failure Management System (HFMS), can help improve the management of patients after a recent hospitalization for heart failure.

Read more

Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive standard medical care alone. The other group will receive standard medical care in combination with the HFMS device. The HFMS device is worn on the body and continuously collects information such as heart rate, breathing, activity level, and signs of fluid accumulation. These data are reviewed by the clinical care team and may help detect early worsening of heart failure.

Participants will wear the device for 90 days (if assigned to the device group) and will be followed for up to one year. During the study, information will be collected on serious health events such as death, hospitalizations, emergency visits, and changes in heart failure status, as well as quality of life.

The goal of this study is to determine whether this monitoring approach can improve outcomes for patients with heart failure by enabling earlier and more effective clinical management.

Read the detailed description

The REMODEL-HF study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, open-label clinical investigation designed to evaluate whether the use of HFMS in addition to usual care improves clinical outcomes in patients recently hospitalized for acute heart failure.

Approximately 800 participants will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either: standard of care alone (control group), or standard of care plus HFMS-guided management (intervention group).

The primary objective is to determine whether HFMS-guided management results in improved overall clinical outcomes compared to usual care. Outcomes of interest include major clinical events such as cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization, as well as earlier indicators of clinical deterioration and changes in relevant biomarkers.

What participants receive

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

  • Wearable Monitoring Device for Heart FailureDevice

    Participants assigned to the intervention group will use a noninvasive wearable physiological monitoring device (Heart Failure Management System, HFMS) designed to continuously collect data related to cardiopulmonary status, including heart rate, respiratory parameters, activity levels, and indicators of fluid status (Thoraic Fluid Index = TFI).

    Clinical care teams perform regular reviews of device-derived data and may respond to alerts or trends suggestive of worsening heart failure.

    Based on these data, the care team may adjust patient management, including modification of guideline-directed medical therapy or scheduling of follow-up assessments. The device does not deliver therapy and is used to support clinical decision-making in the outpatient management of heart failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hierarchical Composite Outcome (Win Ratio)

    A hierarchical composite outcome comparing the intervention and control groups using a win ratio approach. The components are prioritized as follows: (1) cardiovascular death, (2) heart failure hospitalization, (3) Unplanned visit (emergency room or other emergency facilities) requiring intravenous diuretic treatment, and (4) change in NT-proBNP concentration. Participants are compared pairwise, with outcomes evaluated sequentially according to this hierarchy.

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (9)

    Percentage of participants reaching target doses of guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure during the first 90 days after randomization.

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Quality of Life Assessed by KCCQ-12

    Change in health-related quality of life measured using validated questionnaire : the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12)

    Measured: Baseline, 90 days,180 days and 365 days

  3. Time to First Clinical Event Composite

    Time to First Occurrence of Cardiovascular Death, Heart Failure Hospitalization, or Unplanned Visit Requiring Intravenous Diuretic Treatment

  4. Quality of Life Assessed by EQ-5D-5L

    Change in health-related quality of life measured using validated questionnaire : the EQ-5D-5L

    Measured: Baseline, 90 days,180 days and 365 days

  5. Hierarchical Composite Outcome (Win Ratio at 1 Year)

    Hierarchical composite outcome using the same win ratio methodology as the primary endpoint, evaluated at 1 year.

    Measured: 365 days

  6. Cardiovascular Death

    Occurrence of death due to cardiovascular causes.

    Measured: 90 days and 365 days

  7. Heart Failure Hospitalization

    Occurrence of hospitalization due to heart failure.

    Measured: 90 days and 365 days

  8. Unplanned Visit Requiring Intravenous Diuretic Treatment

    Occurrence of an unplanned visit requiring intravenous diuretic treatment. Scheduled or planned intravenous diuretic treatments are not considered events.

    Measured: 90 days and 365 days

  9. NT-proBNP Response

    Change in NT-proBNP concentration from baseline. Response defined as ≥30% decrease from baseline.

    Measured: Baseline to 90 days
