NCT03035474
CONNECT-HF is a large-scale, pragmatic, cluster-randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of a customized, multifaceted, health system-level quality-improvement (QI) program compared with usual care on heart failure (HF) outcomes and HF quality-of-care metrics.
NCT02874794
To determine whether treatment with sacubitril/valsartan provides a superior effect on aortic characteristic impedance compared to enalapril in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (left ventricular ejection fraction \[LVEF\] ≤ 40%) after 12 weeks of treatment. The primary endpoint is the change in aortic characteristic impedance (Zc = dP/dQ in early systole) between baseline and Week 12.

NCT02151266
Cognitive impairment (CI) is a prevalent problem in persons with HF heart failure (HF) and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes, higher mortality and poorer quality of life. Studies designed to attenuate or alleviate CI in persons with HF are limited, and evidenced based guidelines for screening and provision of care are practically nonexistent. Improvement in cognition has been reported following some therapies in HF and is thought to be the consequence of enhanced cerebral perfusion and oxygenation, suggesting that CI may be amenable to intervention in this population. Exercise is documented to increase cerebral perfusion and oxygenation by promoting neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, and, in turn, cognitive functioning. Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a key mechanism underlying the effect of exercise, but most studies of BDNF have not included individuals with CI or chronic illness populations, and its relationship to cognitive outcomes in HF is unknown. Cognitive retraining techniques, originally developed to treat traumatic brain injury, have also shown efficacy in broader neurologically-affected conditions and may provide added benefit to that of exercise. Animal studies suggest exercise and plasticity-based cognitive training could act synergistically through different neural mechanisms to have a more pronounced and positive impact on cognitive outcomes than either approach alone; but this has not been previously tested as an intervention to improve CI. The proposed feasibility study is designed to test the acceptability and limited efficacy of a combined exercise (Ex) and cognitive training (CT) program to improve CI in stable NYHA class II and III HF patients compared to either exercise alone or a no-intervention, attention-control group. Findings will be used to support the development of a future, large scale study to test the efficacy of this intervention to improve cognitive functioning, quality of life, and physiological markers of improved brain function in HF. In addition, we have an optional sub-study that participants may participate in order to further our understanding of biomarkers of inflammation and gen e expression before and after exercise.
NCT02657382
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the blood flow to the heart during stress and assess changes in blood flow after psychological treatment in participants with coronary artery disease. The aims of the study are to assess the effects of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback (versus usual care) on global and regional myocardial blood flow (MBF), peripheral vascular function, and autonomic changes during mental stress.
NCT03036124
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on the incidence of worsening heart failure or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
NCT02988115
The purpose of this study is to determine if bempedoic acid (ETC-1002) is effective and safe versus placebo in patients with elevated LDL cholesterol and who are statin-intolerant.
NCT03308812
This study will recruit from participants in the Morehouse-Emory Cardiovascular (MECA) study for a clinical intervention examining cardiac outcomes between participants who are randomized to received Health360x (a web-based and mobile-based application) or Health360x plus personalized health coaching. Participants will receive instruction on using the Health360x application and will use Health360x alone or Health360x with a health coach for 6 months. Measures of cardiovascular health will be assessed at baseline and after the 6 month long intervention.
NCT03232944
The purpose of this Post-Approval Study (PAS) is to evaluate the effectiveness of MPP to improve CRT response in the non-responder patient population when used in "real-world" clinical practice, following commercial release. This evaluation is based on the Clinical Composite Score which summarizes the proportions and frequencies of CRT non-responder patients who are "improved", "unchanged" or "worsened" after receiving MPP therapy. Patients will be followed for the duration of the PAS. This study is required by FDA as a condition of approval of the MPP feature and is integrated within the Product Surveillance Registry (PSR).
NCT03654313
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and immunogenicity of single and multiple ascending doses of MEDI6570 in subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
NCT03177447
Background: Early palliative care (EPC) is recommended but rarely integrated with advanced heart failure (HF) care. This pilot study engaged patients and family caregivers to study the feasibility and site differences in a two-site EPC trial, ENABLE CHF-PC (Educate, Nurture, Advise, Before Life Ends Comprehensive Heartcare for Patients and Caregivers). An EPC feasibility study (4/1/14-8/31/15) was conducted for patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class III/IV HF and their caregivers in academic medical centers in the northeast and southeast U.S. The EPC intervention comprised: 1) an in-person palliative care consultation; and 2) telephonic nurse coach sessions and monthly calls. Patient- and caregiver-reported outcomes were collected for quality of life (QOL), symptom, health, anxiety, and depression outcomes at baseline, 12- and 24-weeks. Linear mixed-models were used to assess baseline to week 24 longitudinal changes. The intervention was tailored to rural, older adults (age≥65) with advanced HF in reducing HF morbidity and improving patient and caregiver QOL and quality of care.
NCT00232180
In an earlier study, eplerenone was shown to improve survival in patients who had heart failure immediately following a heart attack. However, it is not known how patients with established mild-to-moderate heart failure (NYHA Class II), who have the additional risk of sudden death, will respond if treated with eplerenone. In this trial, eplerenone plus standard heart failure medicines is being compared to placebo plus standard heart failure medicines in terms of an additional ability to prolong life and prevent re-hospitalizations for worsening heart failure in these patients. The Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) observed during its conduct of the protocol-specified second interim analysis on the 6th of May, 2010 that the efficacy of eplerenone had met the pre-specified stopping rules in the protocol. As a result of the discussion between the DSMC and the Executive Steering Committee (ESC), the ESC recommended that EMPHASIS-HF should be terminated, Based on the convincing efficacy and the consideration that it would be unethical not to offer this treatment to patients, the ESC recommended that all the patients in the trial should be transferred to open-label eplerenone. The Open Label Extension eplerenone arm will last for 12 months. Eplerenone is not currently approved for the indication studied in this patient population. On May 26, 2010, further enrollment into EMPHASIS-HF was stopped. The amendment is considered to be the most appropriate way to ensure that all the subjects who participated in the double-blind phase of the EMPHASIS-HF trial can be offered treatment with eplerenone
NCT02666664
The purpose of this study is to see if ETC-1002 (bempedoic acid) is safe and well-tolerated versus placebo in patients with high cardiovascular risk and elevated LDL cholesterol that is not adequately controlled by their current therapy.
NCT00632372
The purpose of this study is to collect and analyze electrical measurements, timing, and signals from a CRT-D device in heart failure patients who either already have an implanted left atrial pressure sensor or will undergo a simultaneous implantation of a left atrial pressure sensor and a CRT-D device. These devices may be placed at the same time or separately (staged procedure) at the discretion of the investigator. A comparison will be made between the information gathered from the CRT-D system and the information gathered by the left atrial pressure sensor.
