What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 is testing whether a special heart-care plan, including better medication and exercise, can prevent heart failure in people over 50 who had COVID-19. Researchers will measure changes in exercise capacity and watch for new heart failure symptoms. The trial aims to enroll 820 participants.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Cardiac COVID Disease Management Plan (CC-DMP) including optimal medication and exercise
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost strategy to prevent heart failure in older adults who had COVID-19.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early feasibility study, not a large Phase 3 trial. The intervention combines medication and exercise, so it's hard to know which part helps. Results may not apply to everyone.

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 820 people

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

Started

Nov 2021

Expected to finish

Dec 2025

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

50 to 85 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. History of COVID-19 infection 2. Live within a geographically accessible area for follow-up Exclusion Criteria: 1. Valvular stenosis or regurgitation of \>moderate severity 2. History of previous heart failure (baseline New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification \>2) 3. Inability to acquire interpretable images (identified from baseline echo) 4. Contraindications to beta blockers or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors 5. Oncologic (or other) life expectancy \<12 months or any other medical condition (including pregnancy) that results in the belief (deemed by the Chief Investigators) that it is not appropriate for the patient to participate in this trial 6. Already taking both angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/ angiotensin receptor blockers and beta blockers, or intolerance (or allergy) to both. 7. Mobility impairment that would impact participants' ability to perform exercise 8. Unable to provide written informed consent to participate in this study
