Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of iron repletion with intravenous Ferric Derisomaltose on cognitive function as assessed using a composite score of cognitive function, in patients with stable chronic heart failure (NYHA class II-III, left ventricular ejection fraction = 40 %) and iron deficiency. ;Secondary Objective: Not applicable.;Primary end point(s): Changes in cognitive performance at week 12, compared to baseline, as assessed by a global composite score of cognitive function. This score constitutes the average of z-standardized results of the Digit Symbol Substitution Test, Stroop Color Word Interference Task, Trailmaking-Test, CERAD-Wordlist, Digit Span Backwards Test, and Digit Span Forwards Test.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 12

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Changes in cognitive performance at week 24, compared to baseline, as assessed by the global composite score of cognitive function. 2. Changes in single measures of cognitive performance at week 12 and 24 compared to baseline, as assessed by the MoCA Test, Digit Symbol Substitution Test, Stroop Color Word Interference Task, Trailmaking-Test, CERAD-Wordlist, Digit Span Backwards Test, and Digit Span Forwards Test. 3. Reduction in depression from baseline to week 12 and 24, as assessed by HADS. 4. Reduction in general anxiety and heart-focused anxiety from baseline to week 12 and 24, as assessed by HADS and HAF-17 and CAQ. 5. Changes in self-reported quality of life, as assessed by The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (for HF specific quality of life) and EQ-5D (for general psychological and physical quality of life) from baseline to week 12 and 24. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 12 Week 24
