Heart failure clinical trials in Chicago

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the BrioVAD System by demonstrating non-inferiority to the HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist System when used for the treatment of advanced, refractory, left ventricular heart failure.

This registry evaluates patient characteristics, real-world treatment patterns, and short- and long-term outcomes in a population of patients in the United States and Europe with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who are receiving mavacamten, receiving other treatment for obstructive HCM, or not receiving treatment for obstructive HCM due to intolerance or failure of prior treatment. United States Sub-Study: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of mavacamten in patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM in the real-world setting. Europe Sub-Study: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of mavacamten in patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM in the real-world setting.

The study is being done to see if ziltivekimab can be used to treat participants living with heart failure and inflammation. Participants will either get ziltivekimab (active medicine) or placebo (inactive substance that looks like the study medicine but does not contain any medicine). The treatment participants get is decided by chance. Participant's chance of getting ziltivekimab or placebo is the same. Ziltivekimab is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe. The study is expected to last for up to 1 year and 4 months.

This study will evaluate the efficacy of TNX-103 (oral levosimendan) compared with placebo in subjects with PH-HFpEF as measured by the change in 6-Minute Walk Distance (6 MWD; Day 1 to Week 12).

HeartShare is a comprehensive study of heart failure, a common and serious medical condition which occurs when the heart is unable to keep up with the demands of the body, resulting in shortness of breath, fluid retention, and fatigue. HeartShare aims to better classify heart failure into subtypes to help develop more personalized treatments for patients, with the hope that this will improve the lives of heart failure patients. To do this, HeartShare is bringing together a large amount of data (including images, such as heart ultrasounds and MRIs and molecular data from the blood, such as genetics) from previously conducted studies and electronic health records, and is gathering new data through participants enrolled in the HeartShare Deep Phenotyping Study.

The objective of this prospective, multicenter controlled study is to assess the feasibility of a patient-tailored implantation by creating a cloud-based pre-procedural multimodality CRT-roadmap by integration of 3D images from 3D activation sequence from ECG, and coronary venous anatomy from cardiac computed tomography. This CRT-roadmap will be used to guide LV lead placement to a coronary vein in an electrically late-activated region. Study Hypothesis: At least 75% of patients undergoing a CRT implantation guided by non-invasive electrical and venous anatomy assessment (XSPLINE technology) will show a reduction of left ventricular end-systolic volume of 15% or more at 6-month evaluation.

Heart failure is a world epidemic. LVADs are increasingly used as they have demonstrated improved survival rates compared to optimal medical management. Improving outcomes have been seen with the newer LVAD technology, the HeartMate 3 (Abbott, Chicago, IL), however, hemocompatibility related adverse events, including thrombosis and bleeding, are still a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The recent ARIES trial showed that in patients with advanced heart failure treated with a HeartMate3 LVAD, avoidance of aspirin as part of an antithrombotic regimen, which includes vitamin K antagonist (VKA), is not inferior to a regimen containing aspirin, does not increase thromboembolism risk, and is associated with a reduction in bleeding events. This clinical investigation is a prospective, randomized, controlled study of advanced heart failure patients supports with the HeartMate3 for more then 3 months with two different antithrombotic regimens: VKA with and without aspirin. The objective of this investigation is to study the safety and efficacy of an antithrombotic regimen without antiplatelet therapy.

This study will compare two different methods to pace the heart to treat heart failure including: 1. The current standard method of implanting a pacing lead in a vein on the surface of the left lower chamber of the heart (left ventricle) to deliver heart failure therapy. This method is called Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT). 2. The other method is using a lead implanted in the Left Bundle Branch Area (LBBA) of your heart. This method is called Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing or LBBAP. This lead is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be implanted in this area of the heart, but not to provide heart failure treatment.

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and early effectiveness of a catheter-based procedure that treats a nerve called the right greater splanchnic nerve. The study includes people who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The goal is to learn whether this procedure, performed using the Satera Ablation System, may help improve symptoms and to better understand which patients may benefit most from this treatment in the future.

Study Design: This is an international, multicenter, observational, non-interventional, prospective, blinded, single-arm, two-period study, to collect patient utterances that will be retrospectively analyzed to determine the sensitivity and UPNR of the HearO system.

This study is open to adults with chronic heart failure (HF) who have a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of less than 40%. People can join the study if they have been diagnosed with chronic HF at least 3 months before they start on the study. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called vicadrostat, in combination with another medicine called empagliflozin, helps people with chronic heart failure. In this study, participants are put into 2 groups randomly. Participants have an equal chance of being in either group. One group takes vicadrostat/empagliflozin tablets, and the other group takes placebo/empagliflozin tablets. Placebo tablets look like vicadrostat tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take the study medicines as tablets once a day for between about 6 months and about 3.5 years. During this time, they can continue their regular treatment for heart failure. Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from treatment and can tolerate it, for a maximum of about 3.5 years. During this time, they visit the study site regularly. The exact number of visits is different for each participant, depending on how long they stay in the study. The study staff may also contact the participants by phone for some visits. Participants also regularly answer questions about their well-being. The doctors document when participants experience worsening of their heart failure symptoms, go to hospital due to heart failure or die during the study. The time until these events are observed is compared between the two treatment groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

This is a Phase III, international, multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, double-dummy, active-controlled, event-driven study in patients with chronic HF and impaired kidney function who had a recent HF event. The aim is to evaluate the effect of balcinrenone/dapagliflozin vs dapagliflozin, given once daily on top of other classes of SoC, on CV death and HF events.

The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider.

The goal of this factorial randomized trial is to examine the independent and synergistic efficacies of two mobile health technology interventions in people with chronic heart failure. The first intervention involves the use of multiple consumer mHealth apps and sensor devices (MyApps) for heart failure self-care (maintenance, monitoring, and management). The second intervention is a program of tailored text messages (Text4HF) targeting modifiable behavioral factors associated with heart failure self-care non-adherence. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Can the use of consumer mHealth apps and devices (MyApps) improve heart failure self-care and reduce days lost due to cardiovascular hospitalization or death for any cause? 2. Can a program of individually tailored text messages (Text4HF) improve heart failure self-care and reduce the days lost due to cardiovascular hospitalization or death for any cause? 3. Can MyApps and Text4HF combined lead to greater improvements in heart failure self-care and days lost due to cardiovascular hospitalization or death for any cause

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical benefit and characterize the safety profile of tabelecleucel for the treatment of Epstein-Barr virus-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (EBV+ PTLD) in the setting of (1) solid organ transplant (SOT) after failure of rituximab (SOT-R) and rituximab plus chemotherapy (SOT-R+C) or (2) allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) after failure of rituximab.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if Non-Ischemic Heart Preservation (NIHP) of extended criteria donor hearts using the XVIVO Heart Preservation System (XHPS) is a safe and effective way to preserve and transport hearts for transplantation.

The TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valve System is a bicaval transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement system, which includes the TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valve for superior vena cava (SVC) and the TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valve for inferior vena cava (IVC). The TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valves are pre-mounted into the TricValve® Delivery System which is used for percutaneous access and delivery of the TricValve® Transcatheter Bicaval Valve in the vena cava. The system is a single use, sterile device compatible with all the valve sizes. The prostheses are implanted percutaneously into the inferior and superior vena cava without disturbing the native tricuspid valve. The device is made of bovine pericardium leaflets sutured on a nitinol self-expanding stent system.

This trial will examine if maridebart cafraglutide as an adjunct to standard of care will lead to a reduction in heart failure (HF) events such as HF hospitalizations and urgent HF visits, cardiovascular (CV) deaths and improvement in HF symptoms in participants with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) who are obese. This is a phase 3, global, multicenter, 2-part trial with a double-blind period and an open-label extension (OLE). The trial is event-driven, and Part 1 will conclude when approximately 850 primary endpoint events have occurred.

An increasing number of guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) have been developed for patients with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). When used in combination at recommended doses, patients often experience significant improvements in cardiac function, quality of life, and survival.1,2 However, GDMT underuse occurs for the vast majority of patients with HFrEF. Two recent trials demonstrated improved GDMT prescribing during a clinic visit, each using automated delivery of a patient-centered decision support tool to promote a proactive and holistic approach to prescribing: EPIC-HF (NCT03334188) tested a brief video and checklist document sent to patients just prior to a clinic visit encouraging them to work with their clinicians to make at least 1 positive change to their GDMT; PROMPT-HF (NCT05433220) tested tailored electronic health record (EHR) alerts for GDMT intensification delivered to clinicians during clinic visits. The current I-I-CAPTAIN-HF study aims to broadly implement and test the EPIC-HF patient-facing and PROMPT-HF clinician-facing tools for HFrEF medication intensification at 5 health systems around the country through a pragmatic cluster-randomized implementation-effectiveness trial. This will occur through an initial phase of adaptation of the 2 tools at each health system. Once ready, the 2 tools will be tested using a 2x2 randomization at the clinician-level. In parallel, formal assessment of the implementation of EPIC-HF and PROMPT-HF will work to understand the most effective means of intervention design and delivery, as well as adaptations due to contextual factors to optimize use.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and exposure-response (E-R) of BMS-986435/MYK-224 in participants with symptomatic Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF).
