The Inotrope Evaluation and Research Patient Registry (INTERPRET)

June 20, 2022 updated by: Coram Clinical Trials

Inotrope, Evaluation and Research (INTERPRET) Patient Registry Program

The INTERPRET Inotrope Evaluation and Research Patient Registry is a longitudinal, observational study designed to look at the demographics and outcomes of heart failure patients on inotropic therapy administered in the home or infusion suite setting. The data gathered in this registry will provide information on how a patient's quality of life and symptoms change over time while on inotrope therapy, and help healthcare providers to have a better understanding of the benefits and risks associated with bridge-to-treatment and palliative care.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Eligible patients will be consented by the site investigator or staff to participate in the Registry at the time of referral for home care. Clinical data, including dosing, symptom severity, lab values, and hospitalizations, along with data on quality-of-life and patient compliance with treatment, will be collected by the home care nurses and pharmacists. The Registry's goal is to significantly contribute to the medical understandings of heart failure treatment and to improve the quality of care for heart failure patients in the United States through active publication of registry findings and disease management approaches.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Eligible patients will be identified by investigator and study staff from among patients admitted to hospital for HF that are being discharged to receive inotropic therapy in the home or infusion suite.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient must be prescribed inotropic treatment (milrinone, dobutamine or dopamine)
  • Patient must be referred to Coram for this treatment in an alternate site of care, either home or infusion suite
  • Patient must be willing to receive care and comply with the teaching and training necessary to administer treatment
  • Patient is age 18 or over

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient is unable to start, or stops taking, inotropic medication
  • Patient and/or patient insurance will not cover cost of home inotropic treatment with Coram, or patient elects not to start treatment
  • Patient is under the age of 18

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
