Trial Outcomes & Findings for OptiVol for Precision Medical Management of Heart Failure (NCT NCT04206501)

NCT ID: NCT04206501

Last Updated: 2025-06-06

Results Overview

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.

Measure
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. 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.
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.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 Months

Population: The present study enrolled 7 patients randomized to ICM guided Medical Management Group or Conventional Management Control group

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.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 month

Population: Mean change in KCCQ overall summary score for each group. A positive change is associated with better outcome and a negative change in score is associated with worsening outcome on the KCCQ instrument. The range is 0-100 with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100.

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.
