MOMENTUM 3 Continued Access Protocol

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Advanced Refractory Left Ventricular Heart Failure
Registration Number
NCT02892955
Lead Sponsor
Abbott Medical Devices
Brief Summary

The objective of the study is to continue to evaluate safety and clinical performance of the HM3 LVAS for the treatment of advanced, refractory, left ventricular heart failure following completion of enrollment in the the MOMENTUM 3 IDE Study.

Detailed Description

Enrollment in the CAP cohort ended shortly after approval for the long-term indication was received from the FDA in October 2018. As a condition of approval, all patients enrolled in the CAP cohort were to complete the 2-year follow-up to fulfil a post-approval study requirement.

    • Advanced heart failure for at least 14 days AND dependent on intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) for at least 7 days,
  7. Females of child bearing age must agree to use adequate contraception

Exclusion Criteria

  2. Technical obstacles which pose an inordinately high surgical risk, in the judgment of the investigator

  3. Existence of ongoing mechanical circulatory support (MCS) other than IABP

  4. Positive pregnancy test if of childbearing potential

  5. Presence of mechanical aortic cardiac valve that will not be either converted to a bioprosthesis or oversewn at the time of LVAD implant

  6. History of any organ transplant

  7. Platelet count < 100,000 x 103/L (< 100,000/ml)

  8. Psychiatric disease/disorder, irreversible cognitive dysfunction or psychosocial issues that are likely to impair compliance with the study protocol and LVAS management

  9. History of confirmed, untreated Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) > 5 cm in diameter within 6 months of enrollment

  10. Presence of an active, uncontrolled infection

  11. Intolerance to anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies or any other peri/post-operative therapy that the investigator will require based upon the patients' health status

  12. Presence of any one of the following risk factors for indications of severe end organ dysfunction or failure:

    • An INR ≥ 2.0 not due to anticoagulation therapy
    • Total bilirubin > 43 umol/L (2.5 mg/dl), shock liver, or biopsy proven liver cirrhosis
    • History of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) defined by FEV1/FVC < 0.7, and FEV1 <50% predicted
    • Fixed pulmonary hypertension with a most recent PVR ≥ 8 Wood units that is unresponsive to pharmacologic intervention
    • History of stroke within 90 days prior to enrollment, or a history of cerebrovascular disease with significant (> 80%) uncorrected carotid artery stenosis
    • Serum Creatinine ≥ 221 umol/L (2.5 mg/dl) or the need for chronic renal replacement therapy
    • Significant peripheral vascular disease (PVD) accompanied by rest pain or extremity ulceration
  13. Patient has moderate to severe aortic insufficiency without plans for correction during pump implant

  14. Pre albumin < 150 mg/L (15mg/dL) or Albumin < 30g/L (3 g/dL) (if only one available); pre albumin < 150 mg/L (15mg/dL) and Albumin < 30g/L (3 g/dL) (if both available)

  15. Planned Bi-VAD support prior to enrollment

  16. Patient has known hypo or hyper coagulable states such as disseminated intravascular coagulation and heparin induced thrombocytopenia

  17. Participation in any other clinical investigation that is likely to confound study results or affect the study

  18. Any condition other than HF that could limit survival to less than 24 months

  19. Patients actively listed for heart transplant (this exclusion applies only after commercial approval of the HM3 for short-term use)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Event-Free SurvivalSubjects will be followed for 24 months or to outcome (transplant, explant, or death), whichever occurs first.

Survival at 24 months free of disabling stroke (Modified Rankin Score \> 3) or reoperation to replace or remove a malfunctioning device

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pump ReplacementAs they occur up to 24 months or to outcome, whichever occurs first

Frequency of HeartMate 3 pump replacement at 24 months.

New York Heart Association (NYHA) ClassificationBaseline, 6 months and 24 months

Functional status as measured by NYHA classification. NYHA class categorizes patients by the severity of their heart failure symptoms. As the class increases, the degree of symptoms is more severe indicating worse functional status. Class I indicates no limitation of physical activity. Class II indicates slight limitation of physical activity. Class IIIA indicates marked limitation of physical activity where less than ordinary physical activity causes fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea, or angina pain. Class IIIB indicates marked limitation of physical activity where mild physical activity causes fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea, or angina pain. Class IV indicates inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort.

EuroQol-5D-5L Visual Analogue ScaleBaseline, 6 months and 24 months

Quality of life as measured by the visual analogue scale from the EuroQol-5D-5L questionnaire. The patient rates their current state of health with the visual analogue scale. The scale ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate a better quality of life.

Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) Overall Summary ScoreBaseline, 6 months and 24 months

Quality of Life as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ). Scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better quality of life and fewer heart failure symptoms.

Adverse Event Rates2 years post-implant

Events-per-patient-year (EPPY) for anticipated adverse events as defined in the study protocol

RehospitalizationsFrom initial discharge to 2 years post-implant

Rate of all cause rehospitalization

Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT)Baseline, 6 months and 24 months

Functional status as measured by the Six Minute Walk Test. The Six Minute Walk Test measures the distance a patient is able to walk during 6 minutes without running or jogging.
