TORCH-LATAM-004: Regional Advanced-Therapy Pathways for Adults With Acquired or Structural Heart Disease (TORCH-004)
11 de setembro de 2026 atualizado por: CardioVision International Tech, S.A.S. de C.V.
A Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial of the TORCH Adult Advanced Therapies Pathway for Adults With Advanced Heart Failure Secondary to Acquired or Structural Heart Disease in Latin America
TORCH-LATAM-004 is a pragmatic stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial evaluating a regional pathway for adults with advanced heart failure secondary to acquired or structural heart disease who may require heart or combined transplantation, mechanical circulatory or extracorporeal support, advanced structural intervention, or another regulated advanced-therapy pathway.
Clusters transition from usual local pathways to TORCH-AATP.
The primary outcome is completion of the prespecified multidisciplinary evaluation and documentation of an advanced-pathway decision within 90 days after enrollment.
The study also evaluates barriers, authorized pathway or waiting-list activation, longitudinal status, mechanical support, definitive therapy, external regulated pathways, and clinical outcomes.
Donor-organ and matching events are captured only where legally authorized and do not replace national allocation systems or transplant-center decisions.

Descrição detalhada
Each TORCH regional network cluster is anchored in an authorized advanced-therapy or transplant center and may include activated evaluation, referral, advanced-heart-failure, structural-heart, intensive-care, mechanical-support, donor-origin, procurement, preservation, logistics, and data-coordination nodes. Adults with advanced heart failure secondary to acquired or structural heart disease may be identified at transplanting or non-transplanting centers when an authorized route to specialized evaluation exists. Authorized centers and competent authorities retain all legal and clinical authority for advanced-therapy candidacy, waiting-list activation, organ acceptance, allocation, and transplantation.
The recipient pathway records identification, referral, enrollment, completion of multidisciplinary adult evaluation, a documented advanced-pathway decision, barrier management, activation of an authorized pathway or official waiting list, longitudinal clinical and support status, transplantation, advanced structural intervention, regulated external-protocol enrollment, or an alternative outcome. Study enrollment is analytically distinct from advanced-therapy candidacy and official wait-list status.
The pathway permits clinically documented redirection among heart or combined transplantation; temporary or durable mechanical support; advanced structural intervention; recovery; surveillance; palliative care; and independently governed investigational protocols. TORCH does not assign an investigational drug, device, cell, organoid, xenograft, or other experimental therapy and does not infer efficacy or safety for such products.
Where legally authorized, donor-organ and recipient pathways converge at traceable compatibility and offer episodes. Each decision, non-acceptance reason, reassignment, urgency change, distance, logistics constraint, and final disposition is time-stamped. TORCH does not create a supranational allocation authority or override governmental or institutional systems.
Interoperability may range from audited manual transfer to structured documents, batch exchange, application programming interfaces, standards-based exchange, or validated remote-monitoring devices. Cross-border activity is activated only after applicable ethical, regulatory, institutional, data-protection, financial, and operational approvals.

|---|---|

Experimental: TORCH-AATP Intervention Period
Participants enrolled while their cluster is assigned to the intervention period receive the TORCH Adult Advanced Therapies Pathway, including protocolized identification and referral, multidisciplinary evaluation, pathway-decision adjudication, barrier navigation, pathway and waiting-list status tracking, and traceable donor-organ opportunity coordination when applicable.
|
A multicomponent health-services pathway that standardizes identification, referral, multidisciplinary adult advanced-heart-failure evaluation, advanced-pathway decision documentation, barrier navigation, longitudinal waiting-list and support status, authorized donor-organ and matching traceability, and secure information exchange.
It does not assign organs, authorize therapies, or replace transplant-center or governmental decisions.
|
|
Sem intervenção: Usual Local Pathway Period
Participants enrolled before their cluster transitions to TORCH-AATP receive locally available referral, evaluation, treatment, support, structural-heart, and transplant-candidacy processes.
Study data collection does not alter the authority of local programs or competent authorities.
