Trial Outcomes & Findings for Emp-Activity: Empagliflozin Functional Capacity (NCT NCT05350202)

NCT ID: NCT05350202

Last Updated: 2025-08-26

Results Overview

Change from baseline to Week 24 of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) scores, calculated as \[Week 24\] - \[Baseline\]. The KCCQ includes 23 items across 7 domains: physical limitation, symptom stability, symptom frequency, symptom burden, self-efficacy, quality of life, and social limitation. This outcome measured the total symptom score (TTS), clinical summary score (CSS), and overall summary score (OSS) in the empagliflozin-treated patients as defined in the clinical study protocol. The TTS evaluates symptom frequency and burden and is calculated as the mean of the symptom frequency score and symptom burden score. The CSS is calculated as the mean of the physical limitation score and total symptom score. The OSS is calculated as the mean of the physical limitation score, total symptom score, quality of life score, and social limitation score. The TTS, CSS, and OSS are represented on a 0-to-100-point scale, where a higher score reflects better health status.

Participant Flow

A multinational, non-interventional study based on newly collected data to assess the demographics and treatment patterns of patients with heart failure (HF), with or without diabetes, using a two-cohort design: one cohort included patients with a first prescription of empagliflozin as routine therapy for HF, while the other cohort included patients receiving drugs with a mechanism of action different from empagliflozin.

All participants were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Participants attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the participants) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Participants were not to be allocated to a group if any of the entry criteria were violated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline and at week 24.

Population: Primary endpoint set (PES): All patients, who received at least one dose of empagliflozin for HF and have filled in KCCQ at baseline and week 24.

Change from baseline to Week 24 of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) scores, calculated as \[Week 24\] - \[Baseline\]. The KCCQ includes 23 items across 7 domains: physical limitation, symptom stability, symptom frequency, symptom burden, self-efficacy, quality of life, and social limitation. This outcome measured the total symptom score (TTS), clinical summary score (CSS), and overall summary score (OSS) in the empagliflozin-treated patients as defined in the clinical study protocol. The TTS evaluates symptom frequency and burden and is calculated as the mean of the symptom frequency score and symptom burden score. The CSS is calculated as the mean of the physical limitation score and total symptom score.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline and at Week 24.

Population: Safety set (SAF): All patients of FAS who received empagliflozin at least once.

This outcome measured the number of patients newly treated with empagliflozin who experienced a change in the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class from baseline to Week 24. The NYHA Classes of heart failure categorize patients with symptomatic or advanced heart failure based on their physical activity limitations. Class I patients present no limitation of physical activity, and ordinary physical activity does not cause fatigue, palpitations, or shortness of breath. Class II patients present a slight limitation of physical activity, characterized by fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, or chest pain as a result of ordinary physical activity. Class III patients are characterized by a marked limitation of physical activity, where less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Class IV patients present symptoms of heart failure at rest, where any physical activity causes further discomfort.
