Destination Therapy Post Approval Study

Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Chronic Heart Failure
Registration Number
NCT03681210
Lead Sponsor
Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure
Brief Summary

Medtronic is sponsoring the HeartWare™ HVAD™ Destination Therapy (DT) Post Approval Study (PAS) to further confirm safety and effectiveness of the HeartWare Ventricular Assist Device System (HVAD System) when used as intended, in "real-world" clinical practice.

The Destination Therapy Post Approval Study (DT PAS) is conducted within Medtronic's Product Surveillance Platform.

Detailed Description

The HeartWare Destination Therapy (DT) Post Approval Study (PAS) is a prospective, observational, multi-site study. Enrollment into the DT PAS will be comprised of newly enrolled, commercial use DT patients with the HeartWare Ventricular Assist Device System (HVAD System). Patients enrolled in DT PAS will be followed for 5 years post-implant or until study closure, patient death, patient exit from the PAS (i.e., withdrawal of consent), or patient has HVAD device removed without replacement (i.e., transplant, recovery) or device is exchanged for non-HVAD. The total estimated study duration is approximately 7 years.

Study & Design

Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Study Design
Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Long-term complication free survivalImplant to 2 years

Complications include death, disabling stroke, or device malfunction or failure requiring exchange, explantation or urgent transplantation.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Stroke severityOccurrence of stroke to 24 weeks post-stroke

Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores will be collected at the time associated with stroke on device and at 12 and 24 weeks post-stroke. The distribution of mRS scores for all strokes occurring in the study will be presented, separating stroke occurring prior to 24 months post-implant and those occurring greater than 24 months post-implant.

Rate of strokeImplant to 2 years

The rate of stroke on device will be analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods.

Rate of late stroke2 years post-implant to 5 years

The rate of late stroke on device will be analyzed using Kaplan-Meier methods for those surviving stroke-free for 24 months post-implant.
