Scientific titleAV optimisation delivered with direct His bundle pacing, in patients with heart failure, long PR without left bundle branch block: A randomised multi­-centre clinical outcome study
Study acronymHOPE -­ HF
Study hypothesisThe aim of this study is to investigate the effects of direct His bundle pacing in patients with heart failure.
Ethics approval(s)First Medical Research Ethics Committee, 15/10/2015, ref: 15/LO/1402
ConditionHeart failure
InterventionAll patients will be implanted with a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator with one of the leads positioned on the His bundle in order to obtain direct His-bundle capture. If it is not possible to successfully implant a His-bundle lead with selective direct His bundle capture or non-selective capture with <40 ms prolongation of the QRS duration, then a lead will be implanted in a lateral branch of the coronary sinus as an alternative approach.

Patients will then be allocated in random order to 6-month treatment periods in each of the following two states
1. No pacing
2. AV-optimised direct His-bundle pacing
Intervention typeDevice
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) with one of the leads positioned on the His bundle
Primary outcome measureExercise capacity is determined by measuring peak oxygen uptake (VO2) at baseline, 6 and 12 months.
Secondary outcome measures1. Changes in B-type Naturietic Peptide (BNP) are measured at baseline, 6 and 12 months
2. Changes in Quality of Life Scores are measured at baseline, 6 and 12 months
3. Cost effectiveness analysis is completed at baseline, 6 and 12 months
4. Echocardiographic measurement of left ventricular function and remodeling is measured at baseline, 6 and 12 months
5. Fluoroscopy time during device insertion is measured 2 months pre-randomisation and during device insertion
6. Percentage pacing, arrhythmia burden, pacing threshols, R wave amplitude and lead impedance are measured at baseline, 6 and 12 months
Overall study start date22/12/2015
Overall study end date31/10/2020

Target number of participantsPlanned Sample Size: 160; UK Sample Size: 160; Description: A total of 160 patients will be recruited to allow for patient drop-out. 126 patients will be needed to detect the expected effect size on the primary endpoint with 90% power.

Participant inclusion criteria1. Aged 18 or above
2. Ventricular Ejection Fraction (EF) < 35%
3. New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-IV
4. PR interval =200ms
5. Narrow QRS duration (=140ms) or prolonged QRS duration with typical Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) morphology on 12 lead ECG and sinus rhythm
Participant exclusion criteria1. Permanent or persistent atrial fibrillation
2. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with history of sustained AF (more than 24 hours) in the 6 months prior to screening
3. Patients who are unable to perform cardiopulmonary exercise testing
4. Other serious medical condition with life expectancy of less than 1 year or if it is anticipated patients will require MRI scanning
5. Lack of capacity to consent
6. Pregnancy (female participants of reproductive age will be eligible for inclusion in the study, subject to a negative pregnancy test prior to randomisation)
