Heart Failure clinical trials at UCLA

The Email Nudges to Improve GDMT (MRA) Adherence in Heart Failure (ENIGMA-HF) study is a pragmatic parallel-arm randomized control trial of a quality improvement (QI) intervention involving email nudges to cardiology clinic managers to schedule appointments specific to guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) initiation, with the goal of optimizing mineralocorticoid-receptor antagonist (MRA) use by patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) cared for by cardiologists within the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Health System.

The objective of the RELIEVE-HF study is to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the V-Wave Interatrial Shunt System by improving meaningful clinical outcomes in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional Class II, Class III, or ambulatory Class IV heart failure (HF), irrespective of left ventricular ejection fraction, who at baseline are treated with guideline-directed drug and device therapies.

This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, 2-part study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AT-001 in adult patients (N=675) with Diabetic Cardiomyopathy at high risk of progression to overt heart failure.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-response trial in patients with chronic stable Heart Failure (HF) and reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three INL1 doses compared with placebo. Patients will be treated for approximately 12 weeks with one of three INL1 doses: 50 mg, 150 mg, 300 mg, or, placebo capsules, taken twice daily (BID).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of finerenone compared to placebo (a tablet without active substance) in the reduction of cardiovascular death (generally meaning death due to disease of the heart or blood vessels) and total Heart Failure (HF) events, including HF hospitalization and urgent visits for HF(generally meaning a hospital stay or urgent presentation to a healthcare unit due to worsening symptoms of heart failure) in patients suffering from HF with an ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40%. Researchers will also collect information on how much the heart disease has impact on patient's lives, change of kidney function, and how well finerenone treatment is tolerated. The study plans to enroll 6000 male and female patients of the age of 40 years and above suffering from heart failure with ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40%. Participants will take the study product as oral tablet with a dose between 0 (Placebo) 40 mg once daily. Study duration will be up to 43 months.

The goal of this clinical trial is to study if an investigational study drug called Dapagliflozin could prevent heart failure from getting worse in adults with Fontan circulation. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does Dapagliflozin decrease Fontan pressure? 2. Does Dapagliflozin improve exercise capacity and heart failure symptoms? Participants will have 4 study visits and 2 follow-up phone calls. The total duration of participation in the study will be up to 5 weeks from the time of screening to the completion of the final safety evaluation. Study procedures include the collection of study-related health information and blood samples, physical examination, exercise testing, total body water assessment, blood laboratory testing, health status survey, safety evaluation phone calls, and home blood pressure monitoring.

The objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) via a transfemoral approach in HF patients with moderate AS as compared with OHFT.
