Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Management of patients with heart Failure remains a major health concern because of the high rate of rehospitalization, mortality and induced-cost. Biomarkers could help to guide the management of patients with heart failure (HF). Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) appears as a promising biomarker. As a working hypothesis, we postulate that sST2 values monitoring could be an helpful guide for medical management in an attempt to reduce hospital readmission.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Methods : ICAME is a multicentric, blinded prospective randomized controlled trial. 710 patients originated from 10 centers will be included over a period of 12 months and follow-up for 24 months. All patients have an external evaluation at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. They were randomized into the usual treatment group (unknown sST2 level) or the interventional treatment group, for whom sST2 level was known at all external consultation and used to guide the treatment. The primary endpoint was the QALY (Quality Adjusted Life Years). The secondary endpoints were the Cost-efficacy ratio, Cost to avoid an hospitalization for heart failure, the readmission rate for any cause at 1 month and at two years, and the evolution of cardiac remodelling determined by the collagene biomarkers.
