OptiVol for Precision Medical Management of Heart Failure ((OPTIMED-HF))

June 4, 2025 updated by: Spencer Rosero, MD, University of Rochester
This clinical study is designed to show that a multidisciplinary team following a pre-specified standard of care medication decision model based on data from an implanted cardioverter device will increase the rate of change in Guideline Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) in the intervention group compared to the conventional group in patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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

Subjects in this study will be randomized (2:1) to an intervention group whose medical care will be guided by data from a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) including information on heart rate, activity, and fluid status derived from the OptiVol monitor versus a conventional management control group. Subjects will followed for 12 months with follow up contact for 6 consecutive months and a chart review at 12 months. The study population will include patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy who have had an ICD implanted per standard of care guidelines.

Study Type

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 to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: ICM guided Medical Management Group
A pre-specified management regimen based on standard clinical practice will be provided to the study team in which medical management including medication dosing (focusing on beta-blockers and diuretics) will be monitored and modified using Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED) and OptiVol Monitor data. Based on CIED and patient engagement data, the study team will adjust medications and dosages, and optimize activity/exercise steps.
Device: Medtronic ICD with Opti Vol-Monitor
Physiologic and functional data from Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs), including information on heart rate, activity, and fluid status derived from the OptiVol monitor, together with a concurrent patient engagement strategy through remote interactions, can be used to optimize the medical management of HF patients implanted with an ICD.
No Intervention: Conventional Management Control Group
Non-study physicians will receive CIED/OptiVol data (as in usual care) and its use and the management strategy will be left to his/her discretion. To control for patient contact, patients in the conventional management group will have the same study visits as the interventional group and will include in-person device interrogation, and documentation of any medications changes.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Rate of Change in Medical Management With Beta-blockers, Diuretics and Sacubitril/Valsartan (Defined as Initiation, Termination, Switch, or Dosing Adjustment) in the Intervention Group Compared to Usual Care
Time Frame: 6 Months
The rate of change as measured in the number of medications modified during medical management with beta-blockers, diuretics and sacubitril/Valsartan (defined as initiation, termination, switch, or dosing adjustment) in the intervention group compared to usual care will serve as the primary outcome. The (minimum, maximum) values (0,5) and the range (0 - 5) apply to the rate of change of the prespecified medications. The greater the rate of change, the more optimization (better) the intervention is altering medical management to personalize the regimen.
6 Months

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mean Change in Quality of Life Score
Time Frame: 6 month
The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) was used to measure Quality of Life from index discharge to 6 months after discharge in the GDMT intervention vs. control (CMT) groups. Mean changes in KCCQ score for the overall summary score in which positive changes are associated with better QOL outcome and negative change associated with worsened outcome. The absolute KCCQ score can range from 0-100 with higher score associated with better outcomes.
