Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) up-titration in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.The main question it aims to answer is the improvement in prescription rate and dose uptitration of quadruple GDMT in patients with HFrEF, assessed by a weighed composite score.

Participants will be randomized towards control (standard of care, SOC) or intervention group.

Researchers will compare SOC with protocol-based up-titration to see if the protocolized optimization improves prescription rate of GDMT.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This is a prospective, randomized-controlled trial. Due to the design, the study is open-label, but the endpoint assessment is blinded.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
Due to the study design, the study is open-label. In order to reduce bias, a study nurse (blinded for allocation arm) will see or call the patient to register the heart failure medication and dose of loop diuretics at three months and optionally 12months (open-label, endpoint-blinded).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard of Care

Up-titration of GDMT at the discretion of the treating physician.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
