Adherence to ASV Therapy in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Feasibility Study (CAT-PEF)

April 20, 2021 updated by: ResMed
This study is designed to demonstrate feasibility of study conduct and that acceptable adherence to adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) therapy can be achieved in recently hospitalized HFpEF patients with moderate to severe sleep apnea. All subjects meeting the criteria will receive ASV therapy.

Detailed Description

Cardiovascular Improvements with Minute Ventilation-targeted ASV Therapy in Heart Failure Study (CAT-HF) was a randomized controlled clinical trial in the United States and Germany. It was designed to evaluate the effect of ASV in hospitalized heart failure (HFrEF and HFpEF) patients on a global rank endpoint of survival free from CV hospitalization and improvement in functional capacity measured by 6-minute walk distance. Analysis of the 126 subjects that were randomized showed a neutral result for the primary endpoint; however, in the pre-specified analysis of the primary endpoint by LVEF strata, there was a favorable statistically significant difference in the HFpEF subgroup (p=0.036).

Although the CAT-HF study showed a positive signal in the HFpEF subgroup, these patients represented a small percentage of the randomized subjects in the study. The current study aims to show that by applying newer technologies to support adherence, as well as focusing on the lessons learned in CAT-HF to identify and recruit HFpEF patients, acceptable adherence to ASV therapy can be achieved in HFpEF patients.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

  3. Hospital admission or equivalent (such as ER visit alone or clinic visit alone) and acute decompensated HF as determined by:

    1. Dyspnea at rest or with minimal exertion AND
    2. Treatment with at least one dose of IV diuretic or ultrafiltration AND
    3. At least two of the following signs and symptoms:

    i. Orthopnea ii. Pulmonary rales that do not clear with cough iii. Congestion on chest X-ray iv. Local BNP or NT pro-BNP level: A. No current atrial fibrillation (AFib): BNP≥100 pg/mL or NT pro- BNP≥300 pg/mL OR B. Current AFib: BNP≥150 pg/mL or NT pro-BNP≥450 pg/mL

  5. Patient is able to fully understand study information and sign informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Right-sided heart failure without left-sided failure
  2. Current chronic use (within 4 weeks of study entry) of any PAP therapy (eg, CPAP, APAP, or bi-level) or contraindicated for PAP therapy
  3. Sustained systolic blood pressure <80 mmHg at baseline

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
