Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study to Compare Ferric Carboxymaltose With Placebo in Patients With Acute Heart Failure and Iron Deficiency (NCT NCT02937454)

NCT ID: NCT02937454

Last Updated: 2021-06-18

Results Overview

HF = Heart Failure, CV = Cardiovascular. The composite of recurrent HF hospitalizations and CV death up to 52 weeks after randomization Total hospitalisations included first and recurrent events. If a participant was hospitalised for heart failure and died within 24 h from any cardiovascular event, this was counted as one event.

Measure
FCM (Ferric Carboxymaltose)
Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), administered by bolus intravenous (IV) injection at a dose of 10 ml or 20 ml of undiluted solution (containing 500 mg or 1,000 mg of iron respectively) depending on the participant's body weight and haemoglobin (Hb) level. From a single dose given at Visit 2 (Week 0) up to 4 doses given over 24 weeks (at Visit 2 (Week 0), Visit 3 (Week 6), Visit 4 (Week 12) and Visit 5 (Week 24), depending on the participant's Hb levels measured prior to planned dosing dates.
Placebo (Normal Saline (NaCl 0.9%))
Normal saline (NaCl 0.9%), administered by bolus intravenous (IV) injection at a volume corresponding to the FCM dose determined by the participant's body weight and haemoglobin (Hb) level (i.e., 10 ml or 20 ml per administration). From a single dose given at Visit 2 (Week 0) up to 4 doses given over 24 weeks (at Visit 2 (Week 0), Visit 3 (Week 6), Visit 4 (Week 12) and Visit 5 (Week 24)), depending on the participant's Hb levels measured prior to planned dosing dates.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 52 weeks after randomization

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): All randomised participants for whom administration of study treatment was started and who had at least one post-baseline visit (including calls), death or hospitalisation or who withdrew from the study after but not on the randomisation date. The management and follow-up of patients was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were censored in each country on the date when the first patient with COVID-19 was reported in the respective country.

HF = Heart Failure, CV = Cardiovascular. The composite of recurrent HF hospitalizations and CV death up to 52 weeks after randomization Total hospitalisations included first and recurrent events. If a participant was hospitalised for heart failure and died within 24 h from any cardiovascular event, this was counted as one event.

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): All randomised participants for whom administration of study treatment was started and who had at least one post-baseline visit (including calls), death or hospitalisation or who withdrew from the study after but not on the randomisation date.

NYHA = New York Heart Association NYHA functional class was assessed as Class I, II, III, IV or V: Class I - No symptoms and no limitation in ordinary physical activity, e.g. shortness of breath when walking, climbing stairs etc. Class II - Mild symptoms (mild shortness of breath and/or angina) and slight limitation during ordinary activity. Class III - Marked limitation in activity due to symptoms, even during less-than-ordinary activity, e.g. walking short distances (20-100 m). Comfortable only at rest. Class IV - Severe limitations. Experiences symptoms even while at rest. Mostly bedbound patients. If a participant was hospitalised at any point during any post-baseline visit and did not have any NYHA assessment for this visit, then Class IV was to be imputed for the visit. Class V - Imputed for participants who died. Lower response categories are better for score NYHA.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: at 6, 24 and 52 weeks after randomisation

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): All randomised participants for whom administration of study treatment was started and who had at least one post-baseline visit (including calls), death or hospitalisation or who withdrew from the study after but not on the randomisation date.

EQ-5D-5L: European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Levels The EQ 5D questionnaire consists of a health descriptive system for participants to self-classify and rate their health status on the day of administration. The descriptive system includes 5 items/dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression, which are coded from 1 (best state) to 5 (worst state).

Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), administered by bolus intravenous (IV) injection at a dose of 10 ml or 20 ml of undiluted solution (containing 500 mg or 1,000 mg of iron respectively) depending on the participant's body weight and haemoglobin (Hb) level. From a single dose given at Visit 2 (Week 0) up to 4 doses given over 24 weeks (at Visit 2 (Week 0), Visit 3 (Week 6), Visit 4 (Week 12) and Visit 5 (Week 24), depending on the participant's Hb levels measured prior to planned dosing dates.
Placebo (Normal Saline (NaCl 0.9%))
n=550 Participants
Normal saline (NaCl 0.9%), administered by bolus intravenous (IV) injection at a volume corresponding to the FCM dose determined by the participant's body weight and haemoglobin (Hb) level (i.e., 10 ml or 20 ml per administration). From a single dose given at Visit 2 (Week 0) up to 4 doses given over 24 weeks (at Visit 2 (Week 0), Visit 3 (Week 6), Visit 4 (Week 12) and Visit 5 (Week 24)), depending on the participant's Hb levels measured prior to planned dosing dates.

KCCQ = Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire The KCCQ 12 is a health-related quality of life questionnaire for Heart Failure. It is a 12 item questionnaire that quantifies physical function, symptoms (frequency, severity and recent change), social function, self-efficacy and knowledge and Quality of life. Scores are generated for each domain and scaled from 0 to 100, with 0 denoting the lowest reportable health status and 100 the highest reportable health status.

Measure
Group 1 - FCM (Ferric Carboxymaltose)
n=559 participants at risk
Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), administered by bolus IV injection at a dose of 10 ml or 20 ml of undiluted solution (containing 500 mg or 1,000 mg of iron respectively) depending on the subject's body weight and Hb level. From a single dose given at Visit 2 (Week 0) up to 4 doses given over 24 weeks (at Visit 2 (Week 0), Visit 3 (Week 6), Visit 4 (Week 12) and Visit 5 (Week 24)), depending on the subject's Hb levels measured prior to planned dosing dates.
Group 2 - Placebo (Normal Saline (NaCl 0.9%))
n=551 participants at risk
Normal saline (NaCl 0.9%), administered by bolus IV injection at a volume corresponding to the FCM dose determined by the subject's body weight and Hb level (i.e., 10 ml or 20 ml per administration).
