Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Heart Failure NYHA Class III

• Registration Number: NCT04012944
• Lead Sponsor: Endotronix, Inc.

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm CE-Mark trial to assess device safety and efficacy of the Cordella PA Sensor System in up to 75 New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III Heart Failure patients who will receive the Cordella PA Sensor Implant.

Detailed Description

The study objectives are:

1. To establish that the Cordella PA Sensor can be safely delivered, deployed, and remain stable within the target pulmonary artery (PA) segment through 30 days post-implant.

2. To compare Cordella PA Sensor System pressure measurements with fluid-filled catheter PA pressure measurements obtained by standard right heart catheterization (RHC) at 90 days post implant.

3. Diagnosis of HF ≥ 6 months with either preserved or reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and NYHA Class III HF at the time of Screening

4. HF related hospitalization, HF treatment in a hospital day-care setting, or unplanned outpatient clinic HF visit within 12 months prior to consent and/or increase of N-terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) (or Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP)) at time of Screening defined as:

7. Any major surgery within 30 days of the Sensor Implant Visit.
8. Subjects with a Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) <25 ml/min or who are on chronic renal dialysis
9. Specific liver enzymes [Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) (SGOT), and Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) (SGPT) >3 times the upper limit of normal
10. Received or are likely to receive an advanced therapy (e.g., mechanical circulatory support or lung or heart transplant) in the next 12 months
11. Subjects with congenital heart disease or mechanical/tissue right heart valve(s)
12. Subjects with known coagulation disorders
13. Subjects with a hypersensitivity or allergy to platelet aggregation inhibitors including aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor; or patients unable to take dual antiplatelet or anticoagulants for one- month post implant
14. Known history of life threatening allergy to contrast dye
15. Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding
16. Subjects who are unwilling or deemed by the Investigator to be unwilling to comply with the study protocol, or subjects with a history of non-compliance
17. Severe illness, other than heart disease, which would limit survival to <1 year

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Safety: Freedom from Adverse Events	30 days	To evaluate the primary safety endpoint: Freedom from AEs associated with use of the CorPASS through 30 days post Cordella PA Sensor implant, the number of subjects with and without any Adverse Device Events will be summarized.
Accuracy of Cordella PA Sensor System pressure measurements, compared to standard-of-care fluid-filled catheter PA pressure measurements obtained by standard Right Heart Catheterization (RHC)	90 days	System accuracy will be compared to the accuracy of standard-of-care commercial products that use fluid-filled invasive catheters to measure PA pressure at 90 days post implant visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Device/system-related complications	30 days and 2 years	The rate of device/system-related complications will be assessed throughout the study

Quality of Life measured by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)	90 days and 2 years	The Quality of Life KCCQ questionnaire is a measure of health-related quality of life. It is a 23-item, self-administered instrument that quantifies physical function, symptoms (frequency, severity and recent change), social function, self-efficacy and knowledge, and quality of life related to Heart Failure. Out of 23-items, 10 scores will be calculated: Physical Limitation, Symptom Stability, Symptom Frequency, Symptom Burden, Total Symptom Score, Self-Efficacy, Quality of Life, Social Limitation, Overall Summary Score, Clinical Summary Score .Presentation will be done by means of descriptive statistics including the absolute value and change from baseline by visit.

Total distance walked (meters) will be collected and analyzed by means of descriptive statistics including the absolute value and change from baseline by visit.
Pressure sensor failure rate	30 days and 2 years	Pressure sensor failure rate throughout the study

Adherence to regular myCordella™ Peripherals measurements measured as a percentage of subjects who adhere to regular myCordella™ Peripherals measurements	90 days and 2 years	Subjects will be instructed to perform daily measurements throughout the study. Subject compliance will be defined as at least 5 days of data collection/transmissions per week.
Functional Status Change as measured by New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification	90 days and 2 years	The NYHA functional classification categorizes the extent of heart failure by placing subjects in one of four (I, II, III, IV) categories based on how much they are limited during physical activity and symptoms of shortness of breath and/or angina. Shifts in NYHA functional classification from baseline over all post-baseline visits will be presented.
