Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The hypothesis to be tested is whether treatment with intravenous iron (ferric carboxymaltose) will improve LV-EF in patients with CHF and iron deficiency as determined by cardiac MRI.;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): Change from baseline to week 12 in left-ventricular ejection fraction (LV-EF) as determined by cardiac-MRI. If MRI is not feasible due to cardiac metal implants (like pace-maker or heart defibrillator) another appropriate routine method may be used, like cardiac computed tomography (CT) (expected in a maximum of 5 from 100 subjects).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Visit 3: Week 12 ( day 84 ± 14 days)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Change from baseline to week 12 in: - semi-quantitative perfusion measurement by cardiac-MRI - ventricular and atrial diameters and wall thickness as quantified by cardiac-MRI - glomerular filtration rate as determined by radionuclide measurement - NYHA class - 6 min walk test - key laboratory and iron parameters (including Hb, serum ferritin, TSAT) - cardiac biomarkers (including NT-proBNP) - QoL (KCCQ and EQ-5D) questionnaires - Percentage of patients meeting key safety endpoint defined as time to death, first hospitalization for worsening heart failure, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris and stroke ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Visit 3: Week 12 ( day 84 ± 14 days)
