PROACTIVE-HF-2 Trial Heart Failure NYHA Class II and III

This is a prospective, multi-center, open label, randomized control clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of the Cordella™ Pulmonary Artery Sensor System in NYHA Class II-III Heart Failure Patients (PROACTIVE-HF-2 Trial).

The study contains of 5 arms:

NYHA II Cohort - To demonstrate safety and efficacy of the Cordella PA Sensor System in NYHA Class II HF patients, where patients have daily access to PAP data.

* Treatment Arm (Group 1) * Active Control Arm (Group 2) * Crossover Arm (Group 3)

NYHA III Cohort - To demonstrate safety and efficacy of the Cordella PA Sensor System in NYHA Class III HF patients, where patients have daily access to PAP data, including a randomized sub-study to evaluate a clinician-directed patient self-management strategy.

Inclusion criteria

1. Subject has given written informed consent 2. Male or female, at least 18 years of age 3. Diagnosis and treatment of HF (regardless of LVEF) for ≥ 3 months and NYHA Class II HF (NYHA II Cohort) or NYHA III (NYHA III Cohort) at time of Screening

  • Subjects should be receiving appropriate medical therapy for heart failure according to current AHA/ACC guidelines as standard-of-care for HF therapy in the United States, or current ESC guidelines for HF treatment in Europe for at least 30 days prior to the Screening/Enrollment visit. Stable is defined as no more than a 100% increase or 50% decrease in dose. These criteria may be waived if a subject is intolerant of ACE-I, ARB, ARNI), MRA, beta-blockers, or SGLT2i, subject is unable to afford these agents, subject has contraindications to these agents, or these agents are not indicated under the Guidelines. Such intolerance, lack of affordability, contraindications, or lack of indications must be documented.

Treatment and study plan

Cordella™ Pulmonary Artery Sensor System

Device

The Cordella PA Sensor System (CorPASS) is intended to measure, record, and transmit pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) data from NYHA Class III heart failure patients at home to clinicians for assessment and patient-centered heart failure management, with the goal of reducing heart failure hospitalizations. The system comprises of seven subsystems that operate together to take daily Pulmonary Artery Pressure (PAP) readings at a patient's home and transmit the results to a care provider for evaluation.
