NCT ID: NCT06393595 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Chronic Heart Failure

Prediction of Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure Based on Tissue Raman Spectroscopy

PROMETHEUS
Start date: November 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a syndrome complicating heart disease, the prevalence of which has reached epidemic levels. According to global statistics the most common causes of CHF are coronary heart disease (CHD): 26.5%, arterial hypertension (AH):26.2% . The category of patients with CHD complicated by CHF prevails in clinical practice, requiring an optimized approach to determining prognosis in order to improve the effectiveness of therapy. In the literature, this issue has been studied with the use of general clinical, biochemical, instrumental criteria. Nevertheless, the problem of optimized prognosis in patients with CHF remains. Its solution may lie in the study of metabolic parameters of biological media - skin, blood serum by Raman spectroscopy. Skin is an accessible tissue for studying the effects of a wide range of age-dependent noncommunicable diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease. We were one of the first to use skin RS as a method of determining renal dysfunction, a necessary component of chronic kidney disease. However, the applicability of RS/SERS in the diagnosis and prognosis of specific diseases, as well as in the collection of statistical data for this analytical approach, remains an open question . Despite the fact that the method is classified as analytical, it can be used to identify not so much specific chemical molecules as their specific loci, which provide vibrations that change the wavelengths of the scattered spectrum. The resulting spectrum can be presented as a metabolic "portrait" of the disease, with the most informative loci, the combination of which is associated with a negative prognosis. The innovative analytical methods of optical spectroscopy proposed in this project provide new level information about hundreds of molecules and their active centers that have prospects as biomarkers. This study aims to determine the clinical relevance of skin and serum RS in patients with CHF, realized on state-of-the-art instrumentation in a comprehensive patient study setting. The research proposed in this project will contribute to the development of high-tech production of new optical devices for rapid diagnosis and prognosis of a wide range of diseases.

Impact of a Letter Encouraging Pneumococcal Vaccination on the 1-year Vaccination Rate in Heart Failure Patients With a Primary Care Physician

Start date: January 2, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

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.

Aim: to study the long-term effects of treatment with enhanced external counterpulsation on the structural and functional state of the vascular bed in patients with stable CAD complicated by CHF. Patients (n=100) with verified stable CAD (class 2-3 angina) complicated by CHF (NYHA class 2-3) and receiving optimal drug therapy included in open randomized study. Primary randomization (2:1) + secondary randomization (1:1). - SHAM-counterpulsation group (ECP-SHAM; compression pressure 80 mm Hg; 35 procedures, 1 hour each); - Active counterpulsation group (ECP35; compression pressure 220-280 mm Hg; 35 procedures, 1 hour each) 1 course per year; - Active counterpulsation group (ECP70; compression pressure 220-280 mm Hg; 35 procedures, 1 hour each) 2 courses per year. Duration of observation is 3 years. Stages of examination: after 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 months (after 3, 6, 12 months for the ECP-SHAM group). Primary endpoint: combination of vascular event (myocardial infarction, acute cerebrovascular accident, revascularization procedures), hospitalization (for CAD/CHF), death. Secondary endpoints: changes in exercise tolerance, a needing for antianginal therapy, frequency of angina episodes. Objectives: to study the dynamics of the structural and functional state of the vascular bed (applanation tonometry, photoplethysmography, computer nailfold videocapillaroscopy), the dynamics of the clinical status (Clinical Status Assessment Scale), the dynamics of exercise tolerance (6-minute walk test), the dynamics of the quality of life of patients ( questionnaires SF36 and MLHFQ) in the ECP35 and ECP70 groups at baseline, at the end of the first course, after 6 months, 1, 2, and 3 years, and in the ECPSHAM group at baseline, at the end of the first course, after 6 and 12 months; (2) To investigate the impact of EECP on the incidence of primary (vascular events, hospitalizations for CAD/CHF, death) and secondary (frequency of angina episodes, need for antianginal drugs, exercise tolerance) endpoints. Expected outcome of the study: Obtaining reliable data on the long-term positive effect of EECP on the dynamics of the structural and functional state of the vascular bed, exercise tolerance, quality of life and prognosis in patients with stable CAD complicated by CHF.

ODYSSEE-vCHAT Mental Health Program for Heart Failure and Kidney Disease Patients

ODYSSEEvCHAT
Start date: September 14, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

INTRODUCTION Psychological distress and reduced quality of life are prevalent in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition, persons with CHF or CKD live with increased risk of primary or secondary complications associated with COVID-19, including mortality. International task force committees report that medical therapy combined with counselling for CHF and CKD self-care optimizes clinical outcomes. Digital health initiatives present an effective solution in light of the recent issue of declining patient attendance in essential outpatient appointments due to the increased risk of COVID-19 exposure. HYPOTHESES At study completion (up to 16 months), it is hypothesized that there will be a significant increase from baseline in the proportion of participants with clinically improved or sustained positive mental health. Additionally, greater engagement with the ODYSSEE-vCHAT program is expected to be linked with improved self-reported health- and wellbeing-related outcomes at months 4 and 8 and study completion (up to 16 months). RECRUITMENT Patients with CHF or CKD who are at least 18 years old were recruited from the University Health Network (UHN), Sunnybrook Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, The Ottawa Hospital, and the community. Accrual of the sample (N = 215) occurred over a 14-month period. DESIGN This is a single group, open label, pre-post study with assessments at baseline, months 4 and 8, and study completion (up to 16 months). ODYSSEE-vCHAT contacted subjects each week inviting them to participate or partake in digital counselling resources, chatrooms, and presentations with group discussions. Participation in supplemental mental health programs was monitored by self-report. ANALYSES A binomial logistic regression will evaluate if there is a greater proportion of participants with positive mental health at study completion. This analysis will assess if the proportion of participants with positive mental health at study completion (up to 16 months) is independently associated with ODYSSEE-vCHAT engagement (login minutes). General linear models will test secondary outcomes, adjusting for baseline assessments and potential covariates. Significance in all tests will be p < 0.05, 2-sided. Any unplanned analyses will be adjusted for using the Bonferroni procedure.

Continuum: Digital Health to Manage Heart Failure Outpatients

Start date: June 8, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of hospitalization and death worldwide. Remote patient monitoring and digital therapeutics could help reduce the consumption of care for these patients (hospitalizations, emergency room visits) and optimize their management (education, medication optimization). This randomized study aims to evaluate the effects of the Continuum software solution in patients with heart failure, whether or not they are followed in specialized clinics. Heart failure is one of the main causes of hospitalization and death in the world. Evidence suggests that remote patient monitoring (RPM) and digital therapeutics (DTX solutions) can help improve care consumption (i.e. hospitalizations, emergency visits) and also support health care professionals to improve care (i.e. symptoms management, drug optimization). This randomised study aims to evaluate the effects of these two software solutions in the context of specialized HF clinics (HFC) and primary health care on health care consumption and clinical events.

It is a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) in which patients will be selected through purposive sampling techniques. Ages of patients will be 18-60 years. Data will be collected at outpatient department (OPD) of Ch.Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology Multan.Total measured sample size is 70 calculated by using G*Power 3.1.9.4.Patients will be randomized into Interventional and Control group, with 1:1 allocation, 35 patients in each group by virtual randomization(www.randomization.com). Diagnosed patients of heart failure for 6 or more than 6 months duration, EF ≤ 40 % on Trans Thoracic Echocardiography, patients with NYHA Heart Failure class II and III, patients with "mild" to "severe" level of depression based on PHQ-9 .Patients with other Psychiatric Disorders except depression, any substance dependence, mentally retarded, having personality disorders, already have received any psychotherapy or any psychiatric medication will be excluded. Patients will be assessed for functional disability by WHODAS 2.0 and severity of Heart Failure will be assessed by a Cardiologist using NYHA Heart Failure classification. Patients in experimental group will receive treatment as usual (TAU) and culturally adapted Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Patients in control group will receive treatment as usual (TAU) by a Cardiologist . The aim of this experimental study is to study the efficacy of culturally adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in patients with chronic heart failure with depression. To study the above-mentioned phenomenon, following hypotheses are formulated: Hypothesis 1: Patients receiving culturally adapted Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy will show reduction in their level of depression than patients not receiving intervention. Hypothesis 2: Patients will improve in NHYA heart failure class, by receiving CaCBT in experimental group as compared to control group. Hypothesis 3: Patients who will receive CaCBT will show less repeated Hospitalization in experimental group as compared to control group. Hypothesis 4: Patients in the intervention group will show betterment in the functional disability from pretest to post-test as compared to non- interventional group.
