Wireless Lung-Artery sensor could keep heart failure patients out of hospital
NCT ID NCT05934487
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests a small sensor placed in the pulmonary artery (the blood vessel from the heart to the lungs) that wirelessly sends daily pressure readings to doctors. The goal is to help people with moderate heart failure (NYHA Class II or III) manage their condition at home and avoid hospital stays. About 1,750 participants will be randomly assigned to get the sensor or standard care, and researchers will track heart failure events and deaths over up to 24 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Cordella™ Pulmonary Artery Sensor System (implantable device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could help heart failure patients manage their condition at home, reducing hospital visits and improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with 1750 participants; the device requires a procedure to implant, which carries risks like infection or sensor failure. It may not significantly reduce hospitalizations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria 1. Subject has given written informed consent 2. Male or female, at least 18 years of age 3. Diagnosis and treatment of HF (regardless of LVEF) for ≥ 3 months and NYHA Class II HF (NYHA II Cohort) or NYHA III (NYHA III Cohort) at time of Screening 4\. Subjects should be receiving appropriate medical therapy for heart failure according to current AHA/ACC guidelines as standard-of-care for HF therapy in the United States, or current ESC guidelines for HF treatment in Europe for at least 30 days prior to the Screening/Enrollment visit. Stable is defined as no more than a 100% increase or 50% decrease in dose. These criteria may be waived if a subject is intolerant of ACE-I, ARB, ARNI), MRA, beta-blockers, or SGLT2i, subject is unable to afford these agents, subject has contraindications to these agents, or these agents are not indicated under the Guidelines. Such intolerance, lack of affordability, contraindications, or lack of indications must be documented. 1. HFrEF (EF \< 50%): Subject has been on stable medications maximized to the subject's tolerance of ACE-I or ARB or ARNI, MRA, beta-blockers, and SGLT2i as determined by the study investigator for at least 30 days prior to Screening/Enrollment 2. HFpEF (EF ≥ 50%): Subject has been on stable medication maximized to the subject's tolerance of SGLT2i as determined by the study investigator for at least 30 days prior to Screening/Enrollment 5. NYHA II Cohort- HF related hospitalization within 6 months (last hospitalization should be 30 days before Screening /Enrollment) 5. NYHA III Cohort -HF related hospitalization within 12 month (last hospitalization should be 30 days before Screening/Enrollment) 6\. Subjects should be on diuretic therapy (≥40 mg\] furosemide or equivalent) for ≥ 1 month at time of Screening 7\. Subjects who are physically able to hold the myCordella™ Patient Reader unit (approximate weight 1.3lb) against the ventral thoracic surface for up to 2 minutes per day while in a seated position, as well as dock and undock the myCordella™ Patient Reader 8\. Subjects with sufficient eyesight, hearing, and mental capacity to respond to the myCordella™ Patient Reader's audio/visual cues and operate the myCordella™ Patient Reader 9\. Subject has sufficient Cellular and/ or Wi- Fi Internet coverage at home 10\. Subject agrees to return to the treating Investigator for all scheduled follow up visits and can return to the hospital for follow up Exclusion Criteria: 1. ACC/AHA Stage D refractory HF (including a known history of \>24 hours of IV inotropic therapy to support circulation within the past 6 months (other than relation to a procedure)) 2. Subjects with history of recurrent pulmonary embolism (≥2 episodes within 5 years prior to Screening Visit) and/or deep vein thrombosis in the femoral or IJ vein used for access (\< 3 month prior to Screening Visit) 3. Subjects with a resting systolic blood pressure \<90 mmHg and/ or severe pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension with a pulmonary artery systolic pressure of ≥70 mm/Hg with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure ≤ 15 mmHg at the Cordella PA Sensor Implant RHC (V2) 4. Subjects who have had a major cardiovascular (CV) event (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke) within 3 months of the Screening Visit 5. Unrepaired severe valvular disease 6. Subjects with significant congenital heart disease that has not been repaired and would prevent implantation of the Cordella PA Sensor or mechanical/tissue right heart valve(s) 7. Subjects with known coagulation disorders 8. Subjects with a hypersensitivity or allergy to platelet aggregation inhibitors including aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor; or patients unable to take dual antiplatelet or anticoagulants for one-month post implant 9. Known history of life-threatening allergy to contrast dye. 10. Subjects whereby RHC is contraindicated 11. Subjects with an active infection at the Cordella Sensor Implant Visit 12. Subjects with a GFR \<20 ml/min or who are on chronic renal dialysis 13. Implanted with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy-Pacemaker (CRT-P) or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy-Defibrillator (CRT-D), or having undergone mitral/tricuspid valve repair/replacement within 90 days or catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation within 30 days prior to screening visit 14. Received or are likely to receive an advanced therapy (e.g., durable mechanical circulatory support or lung or heart transplant) in the next 24 months 15. Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding 16. Subjects who are unwilling or deemed by the Investigator to be unwilling to comply with the study protocol, or subjects with a history of non-compliance 17. Severe illness, other than heart disease, which would limit survival to \<2 years 18. Subjects whose clinical condition, in the opinion of the Investigator, makes them an unsuitable candidate for the study 19. Subjects enrolled in another investigational trial with an active Treatment Arm 20. Subject who is in custody by order of an authority or a court of law
