Point of Care Testing to Improve Monitoring of LVAD Patients

August 7, 2023 updated by: Duke University
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the accuracy of a low-cost "point-of-care" test (POCT) that allows monitoring of markers for anticoagulation and thrombosis (local coagulation or clotting of the blood), to be used by patients with advanced heart failure (AHF) on left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support. The investigators central hypothesis is that the fully-printed AT-POCT utilizing low-cost (printed) cassettes and detector will produce an inexpensive and convenient option for daily self-monitoring of PT/INR and LDH over existing methods.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Anticoagulation and Thrombosis Point of Care Test (AT-POCT)
Capillary action automatically draws blood into the channel containing printed assay reagents which solubilize upon contact with blood and react with analytes of interest.
DCAL measurement of INR will occur by an ACL TOP 750 Analyzer (IL Inc.), and LDH by standard enzymatic activity assay will be run on the automated Beckman DxC800.
Active Comparator: Duke Central Automated Laboratory (DCAL)

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Interclass correlation between PT/INR and LDH measurements
Time Frame: 1 study day
The primary outcome is acceptable inter-rater agreement between our measure and the clinical gold standards for both PT/INR and LDH. This will be defined as an interclass correlation of > 0.8 with a CI lower bound of 0.1 based on the sample size of this study.
