Overview

This study aims to evaluate the utility of a wearable heart monitoring patch that can be worn on the body to collect various measurements related to heart failure and develop a concept to potentially be used as a new measurement. It is crucial to test out new ways that make it easier to do research for new drugs and increase our chances of knowing how well they will work early on in the development process. Results from this study will be useful in planning future development programs for drugs aimed at treating patients with heart disease.

This study will be conducted in a single hospital, it is non-randomised (not chosen by chance), exploratory, study in the United Kingdom (University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust). It aims to involve up to 80 men and women recently admitted due to sudden, severe heart failure symptoms. Participants will be part of the study for about two months, with one hospital visit after discharge, as commonly done in heart failure centres.

  • Visit 1 (Pre-Screening/Screening/Enrolment) will assess the participant's eligibility for participating in the study and for collecting data following hospitalisation for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Participants will be trained and receive an ECG patch to wear from that moment onwards at home for a period of 4 to 7 days.
  • Visit 2 (Follow-up visit) will be conducted approximately 6-8 weeks post Visit 1 and this will be the final study-related site visit. Participants will receive an ECG patch to wear at home for a second time for a period of 4 to 7 days.
  • Visit 3 (Review of Medical Records). It is a review of the health status using medical records by the study team. The participant is not expected to attend the hospital for any appointments

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Men and women aged 18 years or older

  • Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent before any study-specific procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Receiving renal replacement therapy
  • Implanted cardiac (or other) device in-situ, cardiac pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted electronic devices or other ventricular assist device in situ
  • Currently receiving chemotherapy

  • Active severe infection: individuals with an active severe infection, as determined by the PI's clinical judgment, will not be eligible for study participation
  • Hypersensitivity to patch adhesive/ materials in the patch
  • Skin condition or damage that prevents wearing of the patch.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
