Assessment of Implantable CCM in the Heart Failure Group With Higher Ejection Fraction
Impulse Dynamics
Summary
The AIM HIGHer Clinical Trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) therapy in patients with heart failure with LVEF ≥40% and ≤70%.
Description
The AIM HIGHer Clinical Trial is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, quadruple-blind, sham-controlled, two-part embedded trial of the safety and efficacy of CCM therapy delivered via the OPTIMIZER Smart Mini System in subjects with heart failure and an LVEF ≥40% and ≤70%. Subjects will be enrolled at approximately 150 sites in the US and 75 sites OUS. All subjects will undergo screening and baseline testing; all eligible subjects will be implanted with the Optimizer System. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either CCM ON (CCM group) or to CCM OFF (Sham group). The trial will…

Interventions
- DeviceCardiac Contractility Modulation Therapy via OPTIMIZER™ Smart Mini System
The OPTIMIZER™ Smart Mini System will be implanted and CCM will be programmed ON for the first 18 months (blinded phase). CCM therapy will be programmed to deliver 7 one-hour phases of CCM therapy that are distributed equally over every 24-hour period. CCM will remain on following completion of the 18-month visit.
- DeviceOPTIMIZER™ Smart Mini System
The OPTIMIZER™ Smart Mini System will be implanted and CCM will be programmed OFF for the first 18 months (blinded phase). CCM will be turned on following completion of the 18-month visit.
