NCT ID NCT05839730

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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests a modified pacemaker designed to improve heart function and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). About 105 participants will receive either the active pacing therapy or a non-pacing mode. Researchers will measure changes in heart structure, exercise capacity, and symptoms over 12 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Pacemaker with personalized lower rate and tachycardia remodeling therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to improve exercise ability and daily life for people with a common type of heart failure.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 105 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy involves a device implant, which carries risks like infection or pacing discomfort.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 105 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Sep 2024

Expected to finish

Oct 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of Heart Failure, Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥ 55% (this and other measurements must be made within the last year). * New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class I-III * Stable on guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) heart failure medications as determined by the investigator, for at least 1 month, with the exception of loop diuretic therapy. GDMT should be in accordance with current American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC)/Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) Guidelines and include consideration of Sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) therapy. * V End Diastolic Volume indexed to body surface area (BSA) ≤ 80 mL/m\^2. * Concentric remodeling or concentric hypertrophy defined as at least one of the following criteria: * Left ventricular (LV) posterior or lateral wall thickness \> 11mm * Relative wall thickness (RWT) \> 0.42 * Male and LV mass indexed to BSA ≥115 g/m2 * Male and LV mass indexed to height ≥ 49.2 g/m2.7 * Female and LV mass indexed to BSA ≥ 95 g/m2 * Female and LV mass indexed to height ≥ 46.7 g/m2.7 Exclusion Criteria: * Unable or unwilling to undergo contrast MRI. * Class I indication for permanent pacing, except for symptomatic chronotropic incompetence * Current permanent or persistent Atrial fibrillation (A-fib) * Structural heart disease requiring intervention * Aortic valve replacement procedure less than 12 months prior to enrollment * Known pericardial constriction, genetic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or infiltrative cardiomyopathy * Severe aortic or mitral valve disease, defined as severe regurgitation or a valve area \< 1cm\^2 * Exertional angina * Severe pulmonary disease including severe Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (i.e., requiring home oxygen, chronic nebulizer therapy, or chronic oral steroid therapy or hospitalized for pulmonary decompensation within 12 months) * Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 25 ml/min/1.73m\^2 as calculated by the Modification in Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula * Uncontrolled blood pressure, defined as systolic pressure outside the range of 100 to 160 mmHg despite anti-hypertensive medication.
