Cardiology annual research report 2018
Cardiologyannual researchreport2018
WelcomeIt is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the inaugural Cardiology Research Annual Report. GenesisCare cardiologists have been conducting research for over 20 years and Cardiology Research, our national research network, has been operational for three years.
The research network covers many areas of cardiovascular disease, which remains one of the biggest causes of mortality and disease burden worldwide.
It focusses on improving the delivery of evidence-based therapies and ensuring access to appropriate cardiac assessment and treatments.
The network maintains mulitple cardiac patient outcomes registries and participates in clinical trials to ensure that medications and emerging technologies are appropriately researched and can be made available to all Australians.
Our research team has the capacity and clinical experience to undertake trials in all phases – from first in human to phase IV, device and novel therapy trials.
We now have over 80 clinical investigators, 30 dedicated research staff and 7 research sites, making us the leading cardiology research network across Australia.
I would like to acknowledge the efforts of our Australian team – our cardiologists and our research staff, who work every day to improve our patients’ health outcomes.
Professor Stephen WorthleyMBBS, PhD, FRACP, FACC, FCSANZ, FRCPExecutive Manager - Cardiology, Sleep and Respiratory GenesisCare
Research enables us to be at the cutting edge of medicine, and we are in the unique position to be able to put new evidence into practice to continually improve outcomes.
Our clinicians have been publishing peer-reviewed articles in international medical, cardiology and scientific journals and abstracts in national and international scientific meetings for many years. We are pleased to present a list of our most recent publications in this report.
I trust you will enjoy GenesisCare’s inaugural Research Annual Report for Cardiology.
Our Cardiology Research Network is the only one in Australia to provide sponsors with a comprehensive Site Management service with access to multiple sites under one governance structure, one ethics submission, one contract and one indemnity. This increases efficiencies and improves study start up timelines for our Research Network and sponsors.
In 2018 we:
Participated in 20 clinical trials, with 11 commencing in 2018
Entered partnerships with Abbott and Biotronik

Clinical and research governance
GenesisCare conducts internationally-recognised, high-quality clinical trials. Our doctors and research staff have a wealth of knowledge and expertise that is helping to improve health care in Australia and around the world.
“Our clinicians believe that new treatments should only be adopted once adequate assessment takes place to confirm their effectiveness, safety and cost.”
All GenesisCare research conforms to the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, Good Clinical Practice and all national and international guidelines. Before clinical trials commence they must first be approved by our internal research committee and then submitted to a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) approved independent ethics committee for review and approval.
We follow the framework for Australian Clinical Quality Registries provided by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) for our data and registry projects. We are working toward adopting the minimum data sets recommended by the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) to ensure we provide relevant and standardised patient outcome measures.
Complying with these clinical and research governance frameworks ensures GenesisCare delivers high-quality care, adheres to best practice and improves patient outcomes.

Sponsor MVRx
Description The MitrAl ValvE RepaIr Clinical Trial (MAVERIC Trial) is the first in-human trial of the ARTO transcatheter mitral valve repair system.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the ARTO System in patients with mitral valve regurgitation (MR) associated with congestive heart failure (CHF).
The ARTO system is designed to reshape and tighten the mitral valve, enabling the “forward” flow of blood and alleviating mitral valve regurgitation. This procedure will reduce symptoms of heart failure, such as shortness of breath and fatigue and improve overall quality of life.
Percutaneous treatment of functional mitral regurgitation remains an unmet clinical need in the field of adult structural heart disease. Percutaneous therapies have the potential to provide a treatment option to patients who are not currently offered surgery.
Trial aims To evaluate the safety and performance of the ARTO system in patients with mitral valve regurgitation associated with congestive heart failure.
GenesisCare is the only Australian group participating in this study. This is an early phase innovative study for mitral valve repair, with favourable 12 and 24 month outcomes data.
Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, PerthLocations
Key outcomes Initial 12-month results indicate that the procedure can be performed safely with a clinically meaningful reduction in mitral regurgitation. Larger trials with longer term follow up are planned.

Description
Key point ofdifference
This study evaluates the effects of patient posture and physical activity on the CONFIRM insertable cardiac monitor.
Trial aims To characterise the safety and performance of CONFIRM Rx by assessing the quality of signal attained from the device with changes in posture and physical activity at implant and 30 days post procedure.
Cardiac monitors are leadless devices which are implanted for the long-term monitoring of the heart’s rhythm. There is very little data available on the signal sensing variations due to posture and movement. This study is being conducted only by GenesisCare.
This project monitors the sensing and analysis of the devices and allows for ongoing improvement and better patient outcomes. Our investigators are working with project sponsor Abbott, to improve the diagnosis of arrythmias and therefore improve patient outcomes.

Description This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the Amulet device. The Amulet device is a left atrial appendage occluder intended to reduce the risk of thromboembolism from the left atrial appendage.
Patients who have atrial fibrillation are at a high risk of developing a thromboembolism however not all patients are suitable for anticoagulant therapy. This closure procedure, therefore, may be recommended for patients who have atrial fibrillation where anticoagulant therapy is not suitable.
There is currently limited real-world data evaluating left atrial appendage closure.
This is a large international study with 119 sites participating. Of the 4 Australian sites, 3 sites are from GenesisCare.

GenesisCare Cardiovascular Outcomes Registry (GCOR)GenesisCare’s national cardiology clinical quality registries aim to improve the quality of care provided to patients with cardiovascular disease. The registries enable the collection and reporting of clinical data to identify patient outcomes; identify issues that may impede more successful outcomes and ways to improve patient outcomes; collect patient reported outcomes; and benchmark our performance against national and international standards.
The registries commenced in 2008 and have been the basis for the development of performance and quality metrics, site-level quality improvement programs and peer-reviewed research.
GCOR collects information on:
This large dataset provides unique opportunities to explore the varied aspects of health care and outcomes, including population characteristics, risk factor identification, prediction (diagnostic or prognostic) models, medication compliance and medium and long-term safety of devices and procedures.
Patients undergoing angioplasty (PCI Registry)•
Patients attending Heart Failure Clinics (Heart Failure Registry)•

Comparison of PCI Outcomes Registries globally(PCI Database Comparisons)
Device registry- patients undergoing a cardiac implantable device eg. pacemaker or defibrillator
The Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED) Database, also known as the Device registry, was established in 2016. Several large registries have reported outcomes after CIED implantation in the USA and Europe, however there were no prospectively collected national data regarding outcomes after CIED implantation in Australia at that time.
This registry aims to improve patient care by:
Auditing the success and complication rates associated with the implantation of CEIDs by GenesisCare cardiologists
•
Evaluating prespecified fields that are procedurally related in order to determine whether these factors play a clinically significant role in success and complication rates during CEID implants
•
Key informationCommenced 2016•
Approx. 100 data points•
> 5,000 procedures•
First national paper and presentation in 2017•
With ethics approval, GCOR collects de-identified data on consecutively enrolled patients in an electronic database. With national ethics approval baseline demographic and procedural data, medication use and in-hospital and 30-day outcomes including device-related complications, readmission and mortality are collected. Performance and outcome measure feedback is provided to participating hospitals and cardiologists, to allow benchmarking against national and international results, although these data are de-identified in reports to hospitals and implanting physicians

Initial reports at national meetings in 2017 (n= 1331) and 2018 (n= 4006) demonstrated that clinical practice and 30-day outcomes after CIED implantation in Australian private hospitals are consistent with international reports. There was no difference in procedural complication rates or other outcomes between women and men, regardless of age or CIED system implanted. Both 30-day mortality (0.05%) and major complication rates (0.79%) were low, in comparison with international series.
Our initial report as at 2017 with 1,331 entries demonstrates favourable outcomes – 97.16% of patients had the intended device successfully implanted.
