Brief Summary

The purpose of TEAM-HF IDE clinical trial is to evaluate safety and effectiveness of the HeartMate 3 LVAS compared to guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) in a population of ambulatory advanced h...

Detailed Description

Patients with heart failure (HF) suffer from a high degree of morbidity and mortality. Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy has become the standard of care for the treatment of advanced HF pa...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Subject has provided written informed consent by signing the study Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to any clinical investigation-related procedure.
  • LVEF ≤30% and Cardiac Index \< 2.2 L/min/m².
  • Limited functional status as demonstrated by 6MWT \< 300 m due to HF related reasons.
  • NYHA Class IIIB or NYHA Class IV
  • Subject has ≥ 1 Heart Failure Hospitalization in the last 12 months.
  • Subject is already implanted with a CardioMEMS PA Sensor OR willing to undergo a CardioMEMS PA Sensor implant.
  • Subject is willing and able to be implanted with the HM3 LVAS if randomized to HM3 Group
  • Randomization Criteria:
  • Subject has been implanted with a CardioMEMS PA Sensor for at least 90 days.
  • Subject is receiving guideline directed medical therapy with optimal doses (or documented medication contraindication or intolerance) of betablockers, Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme-inhibitors or Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers or angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (if eligible), Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists, Sodium-Glucose co-Transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, and diuretics for at least 30 of the last 90 days.
  • mean PAP ≥ 30 mmHg.
  • The patient will not be randomized if they have any other factor that represents inordinate risk for either continued GDMT or LVAD implant.
  • Single Arm Registry Criteria:
  • 1\. mean PAP \<30 mmHg

Exclusion

  • Subject is \< 18 years of age at the time of informed consent.
  • Any use of inotrope therapy in the last 30 days.
  • Contra-indications to HM3 LVAS or CardioMEMS HF system.
  • Etiology of HF due to or associated with uncorrected thyroid disease, obstructive cardiomyopathy, pericardial disease, amyloidosis, severe valvular heart disease, or restrictive cardiomyopathy.
  • Technical obstacles to LVAD or CardioMEMS implantation which pose an inordinately high surgical risk, in the judgment of the implanter.
  • Existence of ongoing MCS.
  • Presence of mechanical aortic valve that will not be either converted to a bioprosthesis or oversewn at the time of LVAD implant.
  • History of any solid organ transplant.
  • Psychiatric disease/disorder, irreversible cognitive dysfunction or psychosocial issues that are likely to impair compliance with the study protocol and LVAS management.
  • Presence of an active, uncontrolled infection.
  • Complex congenital heart disease.
  • Currently Pregnant or capable of becoming Pregnant and Unwilling to Use Contraception with LVAD.
  • History of pulmonary embolism within 30 days prior to enrollment or history of recurrent (\>1 episode) pulmonary embolism and/or deep vein thrombosis.
  • Planned VAD or Bi-VAD support prior to enrollment.
  • Presence of any one of the following risk factors for or indications of severe end organ dysfunction or failure:
  • An INR ≥ 2.0 not due to anticoagulation therapy
  • An eGFR \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and nonresponsive to diuretic therapy or receiving chronic dialysis.
  • Biopsy proven liver cirrhosis.
  • Need for chronic renal replacement therapy.
  • History of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) defined by Forced Expiratory Volume FEV1 \< 30% predicted.
  • History of cerebrovascular disease with significant (\> 80%) uncorrected internal carotid stenosis.
  • Significant peripheral vascular disease (PVD) accompanied by rest pain or extremity ulceration.
  • Any condition other than HF that could limit survival to less than 24 months.
  • Participation in any other clinical investigation with an active treatment arm that is likely to confound study results or affect the study outcome.
