What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only This study
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study follows 2,500 people with moderate heart failure (NYHA Class II or III) who already have a CardioMEMS sensor implanted in their lung artery. The sensor wirelessly sends pressure readings to doctors, who use the data to adjust medications. Researchers will track survival over two years to see if using this real-time information helps patients live longer compared to a historical benchmark. The goal is to confirm the device's long-term safety and real-world effectiveness.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
CardioMEMS HF System (implantable wireless pressure sensor)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could confirm that using real-time pressure data from inside the lung artery helps people with heart failure live longer and avoid hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is an observational follow-up study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The device itself carries risks like infection or sensor failure, and results may not apply to all heart failure patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subject implanted with a CardioMEMS PA Sensor and enrolled in Merlin.net * Subject resides in the United States as documented in Merlin.net * NYHA Class II or Class III as documented in Merlin.net at the time of CardioMEMS implant (only NYHA Class II subjects contribute to the Primary Cohort) * Subject identified in Merlin.net data can be linked to Medicare FFS claims * Subject is enrolled in Medicare Part A and B, and not enrolled in Medicare Part C, at implant and for 12 months prior to implant, to establish qualification for CardioMEMS * Subject ≥18 years of age at time of CardioMEMS implant Exclusion Criteria: * Subject received heart transplant or durable mechanical circulatory support device implant (i.e., left/right/bi-ventricular assist device) prior to CardioMEMS implant
