What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial aims to collect data from small devices placed under the skin that monitor heart activity. The focus is on patients with heart failure to gather information that can help create better diagnostic tools. The data collected will be compared with clinical tests and heart failure events to improve monitoring systems.

Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

Is the LUX-Dx ICM Implant safe for humans?

The LOOP study investigated complications after implanting new-generation insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) and found that while the procedure is minimally invasive, there is limited experience with potential complications. This suggests that while generally considered safe, there may still be some risks involved. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

How is the LUX-Dx ICM Implant treatment different from other heart failure treatments?

The LUX-Dx ICM Implant is unique because it continuously monitors heart function by measuring intracardiac pressures and hemodynamics (blood flow dynamics) in real-time, allowing for precise adjustments in therapy to improve patient outcomes. Unlike traditional treatments that rely on symptoms or periodic tests, this implant provides ongoing data to help prevent hospitalizations by detecting early signs of heart failure worsening. ^{4 6 7 8 9}

What data supports the effectiveness of the LUX-Dx ICM Implant treatment for heart failure?

Research shows that implantable cardiac monitors (ICMs) can help manage heart failure by detecting early signs of worsening conditions, which allows for timely medical interventions and reduces hospitalizations. Additionally, ICMs have been used to monitor heart rhythms and identify risks in heart failure patients, potentially improving their quality of life and prognosis. ^{4 5 8 10 11}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for heart failure patients in NYHA Class II or III. Eligible participants must have specific echocardiography findings and elevated BNP/NT-proBNP levels, a recent hospitalization for heart failure, or unscheduled IV therapy within the last year. They should be willing to use an ICM mobile app and not have any other active electronic medical devices implanted.

Inclusion Criteria

My heart's pumping ability is low, and I've had recent heart failure symptoms or treatment.

I have moderate heart condition symptoms.

Patient is willing to be monitored in LATITUDE Clarity and use the ICM patient mobile app.

Exclusion Criteria

Patient is currently enrolled in another investigational study (excluding registries) without prior written approval from Boston Scientific.

I have had a heart transplant.

Patient is known to be pregnant at the time of enrollment or plans to become pregnant during study participation.

Published Research Related to This Trial

Implantable cardiac monitors (ICMs) can significantly aid in diagnosing and managing arrhythmias in high-risk heart failure patients, particularly those with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than 35%, who are not candidates for pacemakers or defibrillators.

The use of telemonitoring with ICMs may improve patient prognosis and quality of life by providing continuous monitoring and timely management of arrhythmias, which are common in this population and can negatively affect cognitive function and overall health.

The implantable cardiac monitor in heart failure patient: a possible new indication? Cicogna, F., Lanza, O., Monzo, L., et al.[2023]

The Reveal LINQ™ insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) has a very low complication rate, with only 0.63% of patients experiencing adverse events (AEs) requiring explantation during a median follow-up of 499 days.

Patients implanted in outpatient procedure rooms had a higher rate of infections compared to those in electrophysiology laboratories, but overall, the ICM can be safely implanted in both settings with minimal risk.

The Heart Failure Collaboratory developed a streamlined case report form (CRF) for heart failure clinical trials, reducing the number of data items from 176 to 75 baseline items and 6 events, which aims to improve trial efficiency and reduce administrative burdens.

This new consensus CRF, created with input from various stakeholders including patients and the FDA, is designed to enhance data compatibility across trials, ultimately improving the integrity of evidence collected in heart failure device development.
