About this study

Aim:To determine the baseline characteristics of heart failure patients in Singapore undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT); the long term outcome and predictors of response to CRT.

Methodology:Among patients undergoing CRT for severe heart failure according to indications stipulated in international Cardiology guidelines, baseline demographic data is collected. Age, gender, NYHA functional class, co-morbidities, QRS width on ECG, presence of left bundle branch block pattern on ECG, presence of atrial fibrillation, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on echocardiogram, ventricular dimensions, 6 min walk test distance are collected. In addition, during the CRT implant procedure, blood is drawn from the vascular access and analysed for NT-pro BNP levels and other biomarkers of heart failure.

The echocardiographic and ECG parameters and blood biomarkers are reanalysed at 6 months and 12 months following CRT implant. Response to CRT is defined as a reduction in the iLVESV (left ventricular end-systolic volume index to body surface area) of >/= 15% and/or an increase in the LVEF of >/= 10%.

What is being measured

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

  1. Echocardiographic response to CRT

    A subject is considered an echocardiographic responder to CRT if there is:

    1. reduction in the iLVESV (left ventricular end-systolic volume index to body surface area) of >/= 15% OR
    2. an increase in the LVEF of >/= 10% during follow-up echocardiography at 6 months

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Neuroendocrine response to CRT

    A subject is considered to have a neuro-endocrine response to CRT if BNP levels at 6 months post CRT implant has fallen more than 30% from baseline

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Clinical response to CRT

    A subject is considered a positive clinical responder to CRT if:

    1. NYHA class has improved by at least 1 class OR
    2. 6 minutes walking test has increased by at least 10%

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Hospitalization For Cardiovascular events

    Hospitalisation for acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, arrhythmias, ICD shocks or any unplanned admissions for any cardiac interventions or surgery

    Measured: 8 years

  4. Mortality

    Mortality

    Measured: 8 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure and Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy, run by National University Heart Centre, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Singapore. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Pipin Kojodjojo, MD PHD (67795555), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Echocardiographic response to CRT (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Mar 2021.
