About this study

Official title: Outpatient Ultrafiltration Therapy in Heart Failure Feasibility Trial

This trial will look at the effectiveness and patient acceptance of ultrafiltration therapy in an outpatient setting.

The purpose of this study is to determine if ambulatory patients who suffer from heart failure and hypervolemia can be safely and effectively treated in an outpatient infusion clinic. The results from this trial will be useful in planning a larger, randomized trial comparing usual care and ultrafiltration for this patient population in similar ambulatory settings.

Read the detailed description

This is a pilot study to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, safety and patient acceptance of ultrafiltration in ambulatory patients with heart failure and hypervolemia. The results will be useful in planning a larger clinical trial.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy

  2. The primary efficacy endpoint is weight loss measured immediately and 48 hours after ultrafiltration.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Quality of life will be assessed by the NYHA classification at 48 hours.

  2. Likert scales addressing global heart failure and shortness of breath symptoms at 48 hours.
