Tailored Drug Titration Using Artificial Intelligence
- Conditions
- Hypertension
- Interventions
- Other: optima4BP
- Registration Number
- NCT04223934
- Lead Sponsor
- Optima Integrated Health
- Brief Summary
The purpose of the ARTERY Outcomes study is to compare optima-for-blood pressure (optima4BP), a clinical decision support system for hypertension (HTN) treatment optimization to standard of care in patients with essential HTN.
- Detailed Description
Nearly 34 million Americans have their blood pressure (BP) uncontrolled. Hypertension (HTN) claims 1000 deaths every day. Despite medication and life-style management, the cost of HTN associated hospitalizations had escalated to $113 billion in 2016, or 15% of all hospital costs, with \>135 million Emergency Department (ED) visits.
Uncontrolled HTN for even a few weeks is associated with increased risk for acute cardiovascular (CVD) events \[stroke, heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI)\] and death. Medication treatment optimization to BP goal reduces the incidence of stroke by 35-40%, HF by up to 64%, and MI by 15-25%.
optima-for-blood pressure \[optima4BP\] transforms the episodic and reactive nature of uncontrolled HTN pharmacological treatment management into a process that is continuous, proactive, and personalized. The innovation simulates the established clinical reasoning treatment decision process undertaken during a patient's visit.

Study & Design

- INTERVENTIONAL
- Study Design
- PARALLEL
- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description optima4BP optima4BP Treating physicians receive periodic (every 5-8 weeks) medication treatment recommendations intended to optimize the current patient treatment. The recommendations are generated based on periodic remote data collected from the patient and from the Electronic Health Record. The analysis of the data allows assessment of the patient's response to current treatment and need for a treatment optimization. If a treatment optimization is needed, one is generated and sent to the treating physician for consideration.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Reduction in systolic BP [SBP] (mmHg) measured remotely [Time frame: 0 - 6 months] 6 months optima4BP leads ≥4mmHg of SBP reduction compared to Standard of Care
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of Adverse Events [Time Frame: full 12 months] 6 months and 12 months Frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) between baseline and the end of the study.
Sustained remote SBP Target during observational period [Time Frame: 6 - 12 months (end of study)] 6 months Without optima4BP intervention, the O4BP arm will maintain a ≥4mmHg remote systolic blood pressure (SBP) reduction compared to the SOC arm
