About this study

Official title: Adoption of Novel Heart Failure Therapy and Outcomes in Patients With Heart Failure With Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction

This was a retrospective observational cohort study using patient data from the Get With The Guideline-Heart Failure (GWTG-HF) registry linked to Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) claims. The main goal of the study was to compare home-time in Medicare FFS patients with heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction discharged with sacubitril/valsartan versus those discharged without sacubitril/valsartan.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Heart Failure CohortAdults hospitalized with heart failure from the Get With The Guidelines - Heart Failure (GWTG-HF) registry and enrolled in Medicare Fee-for-Service at the time of discharge. Patients had heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction, run by Novartis at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Time Spent 30 Days Post-discharge by Discharge Sacubitril/Valsartan (SAC/VAL) Prescription Status (time frame: Post-discharge at Day 30). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 Nov 2024.
