TELEFLEX-CTO-PCI

Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention CTO-PCI Study

This is an IDE study to evaluate angiographic confirmation of placement of any guidewire beyond the CTO, in the true vessel lumen, in patients undergoing CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in which at least one Teleflex guidewire and at least one Turnpike catheter are used. The data captured in this study will be used to support U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for CTO indications. 

The study will be conducted in up to 15 investigational sites in the U.S. This study will enroll up to 150 patients to provide adequate powering for hypothesis testing and an evaluable sample size of at least 135 patients

Patients will be followed until discharge post index procedure.

PREEMPT HF

This is a post-market study.  The goal of the PREEMPT-HF study is to collect device and clinical event data to evaluate extended applications of the HeartLogicTM Heart Failure Diagnostic (HeartLogicTM) in a broad spectrum of heart failure (HF) patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D).

The primary objective of the PREEMPT-HF study is to investigate the association between HF sensor data and 30-day HF readmissions. 

Subjects will be followed for approximately 12 months after the baseline visit to collect the required number of clinical events to support the study objectives. These events are called Reviewable Clinical Events (RCEs), and include all-cause hospitalizations and HF outpatient visits.

The required protocol study visits and medical record reviews are as follows:

  • Enrollment visit
  • Baseline visit
  • Interim medical record review (6 month, does not require a clinic visit)
  • Final clinic visit (12 month, or at the point of withdrawal)

Subjects will exit the study following their final clinic visit.

Up to 3750 subjects will be enrolled across up to 200 sites in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia Pacific

CONNECT HF

CONNECT-HF is a large-scale, pragmatic, cluster-randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of a customized, multifaceted, health system-level quality-improvement (QI) program compared with usual care on heart failure (HF) outcomes and HF quality-of-care metrics.

Outcomes will be assessed in the year following discharge for participants hospitalized with acute HF and history of reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. All participants in the trial will be consented as part of the CONNECT-HF registry on clinical outcomes, medication use, and participant-centered outcomes, including quality-of-life (QOL) assessments, at 6 weeks and 3, 6, and 12 months after discharge, for longitudinal follow-up.

The health-system QI program will involve site visits and ongoing mentoring from teams of healthcare professionals with specialized training and field experience to help health systems and individual hospitals to design local QI plans.

A key sub-study will assess a participant-engagement strategy (digital) of a mobile application utilizing behavioral tools to reinforce health behaviors, including self-monitoring/self-management and medication adherence.

Follow-up will occur via a centralized telephone interview by trained personnel via the DCRI Call Center. At each interview, participants will be asked to report current medications, re-hospitalizations, and QOL assessments. Based on participant-reported events, medical billing data for re-hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and procedures will be obtained.
