Brief summary

The OPTIMIZER Smart Post-Approval Study is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single arm open label study of 620 subjects receiving an OPTIMIZER implant as standard of care. Patients to be included will have NYHA functional class III symptoms and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 25-45%

Detailed description

The Impulse Dynamics OPTIMIZER Smart Pre-Market Application (PMA) clinical data confirmed that CCM therapy delivered with the Optimizer meaningfully improved health outcomes in patients with NYHA class III heart failure symptoms and left ventricular ejection fraction of 25-45%. CCM has shown significant improvements in quality of life measures, with an average improvement of \>11 points in MLHWFQ incremental to the improvement of a randomized control group with no device. Six minute hall walk and functional class also showed improvements in the PMA data. The post-approval study (PAS) protocol has been designed to evaluate long term safety and efficacy of the OPTIMIZER Smart in a real-world setting.

Interventions

Eligible subjects will receive the OPTIMIZER Smart, which is comprised of three major components: 1. Optimizer Smart or Optimizer Smart Mini 2. Vesta Charger or Guardio Charger 3. Two commercially available intravascular leads

Inclusion criteria

1. Patient provides written authorization and/or consent per institution and geographical requirements 2. Male or non-pregnant female, aged 18 or older 3. Left ventricular ejection fraction of 25-45% (inclusive, per site assessment) 4. NYHA Class III heart failure symptoms 5. Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study 6. Patient has been treated with guideline-directed medical therapy

Exclusion criteria

1. Primary heart failure due to uncorrected mitral valve disease, or mitral valve repair or clip within 90 days of implant 2. IV inotropes, hemofiltration, or any form of positive inotropic support within 30 days prior to implant 3. Myocardial infarction within 90 days prior to implant 4. Undergone a CABG procedure within 90 days or a PTCA procedure within 30 days of implant 5. Prior heart transplant or ventricular assist device 6. Mechanical tricuspid valve 7. Receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) or has a Class I indication for CRT implantation according to the ACCF/AHA/HRS guidelines for device-based therapy 8. Participating in a cardiac investigational study at the same time 9. Patient is in a vulnerable population (such as significant mental disability, prisoner) that in the judgement of the PI impedes ability to provide informed consent.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of procedure and device-related complications1 yearDemonstrate, in the post-approval setting, that the OPTIMIZER Smart is safe to use, by assessing the rate of procedure related complications (30 days) and device related complications (1-year)
All-cause mortality3 yearsObserved mortality will be compared to the predicted mortality according to the Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM) at 1 year and 3 years post-implant
Procedure related complications30-daysProcedure related complications through the end of 30 days following the index procedure

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cardiovascular hospitalizations2 yearsChange in cardiovascular hospitalization rate and HF hospitalization rate from 1-year prior to 2 years following index implantation
