Remote Monitoring and Optimization of Heart Failure Therapy
France, Germany, Italy800 participantsStarted 2026-10-01
Plain-language summary
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot pump blood effectively, often leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath and fluid retention. After hospitalization for heart failure, patients remain at high risk of worsening symptoms, emergency visits, and hospital readmission.
This study is designed to evaluate whether using a wearable monitoring device, called the Heart Failure Management System (HFMS), can help improve the management of patients after a recent hospitalization for heart failure.
Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive standard medical care alone. The other group will receive standard medical care in combination with the HFMS device. The HFMS device is worn on the body and continuously collects information such as heart rate, breathing, activity level, and signs of fluid accumulation. These data are reviewed by the clinical care team and may help detect early worsening of heart failure.
Participants will wear the device for 90 days (if assigned to the device group) and will be followed for up to one year. During the study, information will be collected on serious health events such as death, hospitalizations, emergency visits, and changes in heart failure status, as well as quality of life.
The goal of this study is to determine whether this monitoring approach can improve outcomes for patients with heart failure by enabling earlier and more effective clinical management.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age ≥18 years
* Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent and comply with study procedures
* Hospital admission for acute heart failure with dyspnea at rest and pulmonary congestion on chest X-ray, and other signs and/or symptoms of heart failure such as edema and/or positive rales on auscultation.
* All measures within 24 hours prior to randomization of systolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg, and of heart rate ≥ 60 bpm.
* All measures within 24 hours prior to randomization of serum potassium ≤ 5.5 mEq/L (mmol/L).
* Biomarker criteria for persistent congestion:
* NT-proBNP \>1500 pg/mL at the time of admission, and;
* NT-proBNP \>1000 pg/mL \>=3 days after initial admission measure
* At 1 week prior to admission, either (a) ≤ ½ the optimal dose of ACEi/ARB/ARNi (see Table) prescribed, no beta-blocker prescribed, and ≤ ½ the optimal dose of MRA prescribed or (b) no ACEi/ARB/ARNi prescribed, ≤ ½ the optimal dose of beta-blocker prescribed, and ≤ ½ the optimal dose of MRA prescribed. All study participants prescribed per label and commercially fit with the HFMS device will be eligible for enrollment.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Age \< 18 years
* Clearly documented intolerance to high doses (≥50% of target dose) of beta-blockers.
* Clearly documented intolerance to high doses (≥50% of target dose) of RAS blockers (both ACEi and ARB).
* Mechanical ventilation (not including CPAP/BIPAP) in the 24 hours prior to Screening.
* Significant pulmonar…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
