Filter by:This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dose study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of JK07 in participants aged 18-85 with heart failure. There will be 2 cohorts in this study: Cohort 1: Heart failure participants with left ventricular ejection fraction of ≤ 40%. Cohort 2: Heart failure participants with left ventricular ejection fraction > 40% and ≤ 65%. Participants in both cohorts will be randomized into either low dose JK07, high dose JK07 or placebo. Participants will have a 2:1 chance of receiving JK07 versus placebo.
Dialysis patients have a higher incidence of cardiovascular events and require more effective measures to delay the progression of heart failure. Many studies have shown that dapagliflozin has cardioprotective effect, but most studies focus on non-dialysis patients with eGFR more than 20ml/min/1.73m2. However, the data on patients with eGFR less than 20ml/min/1.73m2 or dialysis patients, especially peritoneal dialysis patients, is less. Exploring the efficacy and safety of Dapagliflozin in improving heart failure in dialysis patients is of great clinical significance.
This study aims to determine whether a 6-month multilevel intervention involving problem-solving training, exercise training and support from community health workers is more effective in improving outcomes for individuals with low socioeconomic status, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and early cardiac dysfunction than receiving education and access to a community exercise facility.
This is an observational study in which data already collected from people with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are studied. In observational studies, only observations are made, without participants receiving any advice or any changes to healthcare. Chronic HFrEF is a long-term condition in which the heart becomes weak and cannot pump enough blood to the rest of the body with each heartbeat. This leads to a reduced supply of oxygen, which the body requires to function properly. The study treatment, vericiguat, works by increasing the activity of an enzyme called soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), which relaxes the blood vessels and allows more blood to flow. As a result, the heart can pump better. It is already approved for doctors to prescribe to people with chronic HFrEF in the United States (US) who are stabilized after a recent "decompensation event". The treatment with vericiguat starts at a low dose, which should be increased gradually to the target dose based on how a patient tolerates the treatment. The participants in this study are already receiving treatment with vericiguat as part of their regular care from their doctors. The main purpose of the study is to learn more about the dosage pattern of vericiguat in people with chronic HFrEF in the US. To do this, researchers will collect the following information for 3 months after participants' first dose of vericiguat: - starting dose of vericiguat - daily changes in dosage pattern - time taken to reach the target dose - number and percentage of participants: - with specific changes in dosage pattern - reaching the target dose of vericiguat They will also collect information on how often low blood pressure or fainting occurs, which are well known events in people with chronic HFrEF. The data will come from the participants' information stored in a database called the HealthVerity HF dataset. Data collected will be from people with chronic HFrEF who started taking vericiguat between January 2021 and April 2023. Researchers will only look at the health records of participants in the US. Researchers will track participants' data and will collect information for a maximum of 6 months before and 3 months after their first dose of vericiguat. In this study, only available data from routine care are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
The objective of this study is to prospectively compare decongestive therapy administered by the Reprieve DMS system to Optimal Diuretic Therapy (ODT) in the treatment of patients diagnosed with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). The main objective is to determine if the Reprieve DMS is non-inferior to state-of-the-art urine sodium guided aggressive diuretic titration in two European HF centers of excellence.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the composition and function of the gut microbiome in adults with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. How does the gut microbiome and its interactions with the host change over time in adults with chronic heart failure? 2. How do these changes relate to heart failure disease severity and complications?
The REFORM-HF study aims to test a new technology, AquaPass, designed to assist patients experiencing symptoms of fluid overload due to Heart Failure. Patients will wear a lightweight suit that helps remove excess fluids through their sweat. We want to see if AquaPass can remove an additional 500mL of fluids during treatment, alongside patients' regular medications like diuretics. Participants will select if to be treated at their home or in the outpatient clinic.
Heart failure affects more than 1.5 million people in France, resulting in over 70,000 deaths and more than 165,000 hospitalizations each year. Viral and bacterial infections are frequently associated with episodes of acute heart failure in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Lower respiratory tract infections, such as influenza and pneumococcus, are common causes of hospitalization for decompensated heart failure, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Studies have shown that pneumococcal vaccination can reduce the risks of heart attack or stroke in patients with heart failure. However, despite vaccination recommendations, coverage rates remain low, especially for pneumococcus. In this study, we will evaluate the impact of an incentive letter for pneumococcal vaccination on one-year hospitalization rate in patients with heart failure.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new type of pacemaker in heart failure patients following a heart bypass operation. The new pacemaker restores respiratory sinus arrhythmia which is a natural pattern where the heart rate increases when the participants breathe in and slows down when participants breathe out. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: - Is the new type of pacemaker safe? - Does the new type of pacemaker improve how patients' hearts work (also known as cardiac output)? Participants will have a range of tests before their operation and during their recovery in hospital while participants have the new type of pacemaker in place, and will be monitored very closely. Participants will also receive a phone call 1 month after their surgery. Researchers will compare the new type of heart pacing against standard treatment to see if it is as safe, and if it is any better for patients.
Patients presenting with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricle dysfunction (LVEF <40%), naive of anti-remodeling cardiac medical therapy, will undergo invasive coronary microvascular assessment based on thermodilution. The primary endpoint, namely the left ventricle reverse remodeling, will be assessed after 12 months of optimal medical therapy based on transthoracic echocardiography. The primary endpoint will be evaluated by an independent central core lab. Patients enrolled in the study will be followed for a period of 5 years to monitor their clinical status. During the study period participants may undergo multimodality diagnostic tests including ECG telemetry monitoring, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, cardiovascular cardiac magnetic resonance.
