Who may be able to join

  • 1. Patients 18 years or older 2. Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF; LVEF ≥50%) 3. Hospital admission or equivalent (such as ER visit alone or clinic visit alone) and acute decompensated HF as determined by:
  • Dyspnea at rest or with minimal exertion AND
  • Treatment with at least one dose of IV diuretic or ultrafiltration AND
  • At least two of the following signs and symptoms:

Who cannot join

  • Right-sided heart failure without left-sided failure
  • Current chronic use (within 4 weeks of registry entry) of any PAP therapy (e.g., CPAP, APAP, or bi-level) or contraindicated for PAP therapy
  • Sustained systolic blood pressure <80 mmHg at baseline

About this study

Official title: Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Adherence to ASV Therapy Pilot Registry (PEP ASV Pilot Registry)

This is a prospective, single-arm, unblinded pilot study and registry that aims to demonstrate adherence to adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) therapy in patients with moderate to severe sleep disordered breathing who have been recently hospitalized. ASV therapy has been linked to improved outcomes in this population, but adherence to therapy is low. The AirCurve 10 ASV device that will be used for this study employs newer technologies, such as web-based monitoring and provides patients feedback, which may increase therapy adherence and therefore improve patient outcomes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Active Patient EngagementBehavioural

    The APE intervention will be delivered through a patient-facing application and website called myAir, which provides patients with access to their own usage data, educational tips, and coaching.

Active Patient EngagementExperimentalAll patients are enrolled into the Active Patient Engagement (APE) arm. This arm will receive the APE intervention.
Receives: Behavioral: Active Patient Engagement

What is being measured

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

  1. Adherence (hours/night)

    Demonstrate acceptable adherence to ASV therapy can be achieved in patients with moderate to severe SDB in a recently hospitalized population of Heart Failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality of Life Score -

    Quality of life will be assessed using the KCCQ-12, a 12-item validated instrument that measures Quality of Life in heart failure patients on a scale of 0-100. Higher scores indicate higher Quality of Life

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Active Patient Engagement in people with Sleep Disorder; Breathing-Related and Heart Failure, run by Thomas Jefferson University at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, 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 was stopped early (reason given: Inability to Recruit). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Adherence (hours/night) (time frame: 3 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 27 May 2021.
