Patient's Management Receiving Eplerenone Therapy

Completed
Conditions
Left Ventricular Dysfunction Post Myocardial Infarction
Interventions
Other: Prospective Observational
Registration Number
NCT01440049
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

On a population of patients followed by an office-based cardiologist and treated with eplerenone, the objectives of the survey are:

* To describe the characteristics of the population treated.

* To describe the methods of use of eplerenone (posology, duration of treatment, medicinal combinations).

* To describe the follow-up methods of the treatment.

* To describe the possible interruptions of the treatment

Detailed Description

A sample size in the region of N = 400 patients will allow this accuracy of estimation, as for this size, the half-width would be equal to 5% for a frequency of 50% corresponding to a confidence interval of maximum width. In view of the type of survey and the need for 12 months of monitoring in the context of standard practice, it may be anticipated that the drop-off rate will be about 20%. A sample size of N = 500 patients was therefore chosen.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Systolic Ejection Fraction as a Measure of Left Ventricular Dysfunction at Inclusion for Full Analysis Set (FAS) PopulationBaseline

Left ventricular dysfunction, a condition in which the left ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality, was assessed based on systolic ejection fraction. Systolic ejection fraction was the fraction of the end-diastolic volume (EDV) that was ejected out of left ventricle with each contraction.

Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Eplerenone Treatment Dosage at Month 12 in FAS PopulationBaseline, Month 12

Change of eplerenone dosage = modified dosage (mg daily) - dosage at start of treatment (mg daily). A positive change indicated dosage increase and a negative change indicated dosage decrease.

Percentage of Participants With Eplerenone Treatment Compliance at Month 3 in FAS PopulationMonth 3

Participants receiving eplerenone on the basis of the approved summary of product characteristics (SmPC) were said to be treatment compliant.

Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Eplerenone Treatment Dosage at Month 9 in FAS PopulationBaseline, Month 9

Change of eplerenone dosage = modified dosage (mg daily) - dosage at start of treatment (mg daily). A positive change indicated dosage increase and a negative change indicated dosage decrease.

Systolic Ejection Fraction as a Measure of Left Ventricular Dysfunction at Inclusion for Safety Analysis Set (SAS) PopulationBaseline

Left ventricular dysfunction, a condition in which the left ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality, was assessed based on systolic ejection fraction. Systolic ejection fraction was the fraction of the end-diastolic volume (EDV) that was ejected out of left ventricle with each contraction.

Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Eplerenone Treatment Dosage at Month 3 in FAS PopulationBaseline, Month 3

Change of eplerenone dosage = modified dosage (mg daily) - dosage at start of treatment (mg daily). A positive change indicated dosage increase and a negative change indicated dosage decrease.

Percentage of Participants Who Died in SAS PopulationBaseline up to Month 12
Percentage of Participants Hospitalized in FAS PopulationBaseline up to Month 12
Percentage of Participants With Eplerenone Treatment Compliance at Month 6 in FAS PopulationMonth 6

Participants receiving eplerenone on the basis of the approved SmPC were said to be treatment compliant.

Percentage of Participants With Eplerenone Treatment Compliance at Month 9 in FAS PopulationMonth 9

Participants receiving eplerenone on the basis of the approved SmPC were said to be treatment compliant.

Percentage of Participants With Eplerenone Treatment Compliance at Month 12 in FAS PopulationMonth 12

Participants receiving eplerenone on the basis of the approved SmPC were said to be treatment compliant.

Percentage of Participants With Change From Baseline in Eplerenone Treatment Dosage at Month 6 in FAS PopulationBaseline, Month 6

Change of eplerenone dosage = modified dosage (mg daily) - dosage at start of treatment (mg daily). A positive change indicated dosage increase and a negative change indicated dosage decrease.

Number of Participants With Worsened Renal FunctionBaseline up to Month 12
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Reason for Increased or Decreased Eplerenone DoseBaseline up to Month 12
Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Eplerenone Treatment in FAS PopulationBaseline up to Month 12
Number of Participants With Concomitant Cardiovascular Treatment in FAS PopulationBaseline up to Month 12

Concomitant cardiovascular treatment included any cardiovascular treatment other than, and in addition to, the study treatment taken at any time during the study.

Number of Participants With Concomitant Cardiovascular Treatment in SAS PopulationBaseline up to Month 12

Concomitant cardiovascular treatment included any cardiovascular treatment other than, and in addition to, the study treatment taken at any time during the study.
