Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect on 1-year all-cause mortality between intensive medical treatment (guided by the plasma values of CA125) with usual care in patients recently hospitalized for AHF (<180 days).;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are based on the comparison between both strategies (CA125 guided management therapy vs. usual care) in terms of: 1. One-year composite of total mortality and readmission for any cause at 1-year. 2. Days alive outside of the hospital at 1-year. 3. Number of AHF hospitalizations at 1-year. 4. Number of episodes of HF decompensation not requiring hospitalization at 1-year. 5. Percent of patients who normalize CA125 values (?35 U/ml) and time to achieve such goal. 6. Effects on levels of standard inflammatory markers (at 1, 6 and 12 months). 7. Effects on BNP/NT-proBNP levels (at 1, 6 and 12 months).;Primary end point(s): The proportion of patients alive at 1 year;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Proportion of patients with the composite endpoint of mortality and/or rehospitalization at 1 year. Proportion of patients alive and out of the hospital at 1 year The frequency and proportion of rehospitalizations at 1 year. Primary Biomarker Efficacy Endpoint: change in CA125 serum levels over 1 year, and its relation with the treatment received. BNP/NT-proBNP efficacy endpoint: change in BNP/NT-proBNP levels over 1 year, and its relation with concomitant measurements of CA125, with treatment received and patient clinical status.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months | — |
