Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study shall include up to 300 subjects with CCM treatment and up to 300 subjects without CCM treatment. Patients without CCM treatment serve as Control patients and they will be recruited from centers not implanting OPTIMIZER systems.

Who may be able to join

  • Any subject who receives an OPTIMIZER system implant and provides informed consent
  • Symptomatic heart failure (NYHA Class 2, 3 or 4) despite receiving optimal medical therapy with doses of medications that are stable (no more than 50 % variation) for at least 7 days.
  • EF ≤ 45%
  • Signed informed consent

Who cannot join

  • None
  • Heart failure due to a potentially correctible cause ( e. g. valvular disease, congenital disease)
  • Idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive or constrictive cardiomyopathy, or heart failure on the basis of a known inflammatory or infiltrative disease (e. g. amyloidosis, sarcoidosis) or constrictive disease
  • Active ischemia or exercise tolerance limited by angina
  • Hospitalizations for heart failure which required the use of inotropic support within 14 days of enrollment
  • Chronic (permanent or persistent) atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Scheduled for a CABG or a PCI procedure, or has undergone a CABG procedure within 90 days or a PCI procedure within 30 days of enrollment
  • Myocardial infarction within 90 days of enrollment
  • Hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
  • Prior heart transplant
  • Participating in another study

About this study

Official title: Clinical Effects of Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) With the OPTIMIZER III System in Subjects With Heart Failure Caused by Left Ventricular Dysfunction

The effects of Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) treatment are observed in patients with heart failure.

Read the detailed description

The OPTIMIZER III System is indicated for use in patients greater than 18 years of age with symptomatic heart failure due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction despite appropriate medical therapy. The study will gather additional data on the effect of CCM treatment with the objective of determining the impact of CCM on the composite of heart failure hospitalizations and mortality in the low ejection fraction (EF < 35%) and mildly reduced ejection fraction (35 ≤ EF ≤ 45) heart failure population. The study will also assess the impact of CCM on exercise tolerance (six minute hall walk test, 6 Minute Walk Test) and quality of life (Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire, MLWHFQ) in these same populations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by Stiftung Institut fuer Herzinfarktforschung at 1 site in Germany.

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 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2016. 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 Germany. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

All-cause and cardiac mortality (time frame: 24 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 Sep 2016.
