Brief summary

The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate the impact of empagliflozin, as compared with placebo, on hemodynamic parameters (pulmonary artery diastolic pressure) in patients with heart failure (reduced or preserved ejection fraction, ischemic or non-ischemic etiology) who already have a CardioMEMs device (a wireless hemodynamic monitoring system) implanted for non-study related clinical reasons.

Detailed description

A 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to explore the effects of once-daily empagliflozin 10 mg on hemodynamic parameters (pulmonary artery pressures) in patients with heart failure (reduced or preserved ejection fraction, ischemic or non-ischemic etiology) who already have a CardioMEMs device implanted for non-study related clinical reasons.

Inclusion criteria

1. Established diagnosis of heart failure (for at least 16 weeks prior to the screening visit) with either preserved (LVEF\>40%) or reduced systolic function (LVEF≤40%), due to either ischemic or non-ischemic etiology, documented by an imaging modality (echocardiography, nuclear imaging, LV angiography, magnetic resonance imaging) within the past 24 months. 2. No major change in diuretic management for 48 hours prior to screening visit or 48 hours prior to randomization visit (major change defined by doubling of diuretic dose or addition of another diuretic medication) 3. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II, III or IV heart failure symptoms at the screening and randomization visit 4. Presence of previously (≥ 2 weeks prior to screening visit) implanted CardioMEMs pulmonary artery pressure monitor for a clinical indication unrelated to the study. 5. Pulmonary artery diastolic pressure ≥ 12 mmHg at the time of the screening visit (last measurement available prior to the screening visit). 6. Ability to provide informed consent prior to initiating screening visit procedures

Exclusion criteria

1. Decompensated heart failure (hospitalization for heart failure within the 2 weeks prior to screening) or between screening and randomization 2. History of type 1 diabetes 3. Major change in diuretic management during 48 hours prior to screening visit or 48 hours prior to randomization visit. (major change defined by doubling of diuretic dose or addition of another diuretic medications) 4. Significant variability in baseline pulmonary artery diastolic pressures during screening period. Defined as changes greater than +/- 6 mmHg from average pulmonary artery diastolic pressure during week 1 of the screening phase and average pulmonary artery diastolic pressure during week 2 of the screening phase for those patients with an average baseline pulmonary artery diastolic pressure during week 1 of the screening phase of \<30 mmHg. If the average baseline pulmonary artery diastolic pressure during week 1 of the screening phase is ≥30 mmHg, then ≥20% relative change in average pulmonary diastolic pressure between week 1 and week 2 of the screening phase will be used to define significant variability. 5.

Implantation of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device within the previous 90 days. 9. Implantation of the CardioMEMs device within the past 2 weeks. 10. Planned cardiovascular revascularization (percutaneous intervention or surgical) or major cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacement, ventricular assist device, cardiac transplantation, or any other surgery requiring thoracotomy), or planned implantation of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device within the 90 days after the screening visit. 11. Participation in any interventional clinical trial (with an investigational drug or device) that is not an observational registry within the 4 weeks prior to the screening visit. 12.

Average supine systolic BP \<90 mmHg at the screening or randomization visit 19. Current documented history of bladder cancer 20. Active Gross Hematuria 21. Heart failure due to restrictive cardiomyopathy, active myocarditis, constrictive pericarditis, severe stenotic valve disease, and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). 22.

The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a disease-specific health status instrument composed of 23 items that quantifies the domains of physical limitations, symptoms, self-efficacy, social limitation and quality of life from heart failure. Scores range from 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status. For the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Summary Score KCCQ-OS, a small but clinically meaningful change is considered to be ≥ 5 points.

Proportion of Patients With a ≥ 5 Point Increase From Baseline in the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Summary Score (KCCQ-OS) at Either 6 Weeks or 12 Weeks of Follow-up Between Empagliflozin and Placebo.

The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a disease-specific health status instrument composed of 23 items that quantifies the domains of physical limitations, symptoms, self-efficacy, social limitation and quality of life from heart failure. Scores range from 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status. For the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Summary Score KCCQ-OS, a small but clinically meaningful change is considered to be ≥ 5 points.

Time frame: Baseline to Week 6 and Week 12

Population: The number of participants analyzed may differ from the overall number of participants analyzed due to missing data at certain timepoints for some participants.
