Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a registry record for an active cluster randomized trial testing a behavioral intervention (SOCIAL HF) to reduce disparities in allocation of advanced heart failure therapies. No efficacy or safety outcomes have been reported in this record; the study is enrolling by invitation with target follow-up to 2.5 years.
Interventional, Randomized, Parallel, Single masking, Treatment purpose. Implementation Science, Heart Transplant, Decision Making; age from 18 Years; accepts healthy volunteers. Intervention: Sites Randomized to SOCIAL HF. Compared with: Control Sites — No Intervention. n = 1,463. 1 site: United States.
This is a registry record for an active cluster randomized trial testing a behavioral intervention (SOCIAL HF) to reduce disparities in allocation of advanced heart failure therapies. No efficacy or safety outcomes have been reported in this record; the study is enrolling by invitation with target follow-up to 2.5 years.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
Once results are published, this trial may inform national guidelines for equitable allocation of advanced heart failure therapies. The behavioral intervention targets decision-making processes to replace subjective evaluation with objective criteria, potentially reducing allocation disparities by race, ethnicity, and sex.
This is a registry record for an ongoing interventional trial with no reported results; enrollment status is active and follow-up extends to 2.5 years, so efficacy data are not yet available.

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05390411). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Indiana University. Recruitment status: ENROLLING_BY_INVITATION. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 1463 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Implementation Science, Heart Transplant, Decision Making. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: SOCIAL HF. Primary outcome measures: Proportion of evaluated minoritized racial/ethnic patients and women patients receiving advanced therapies. , Up to 2 years; Change in SOCIAL HF fidelity from time of training completion (month 2) to time study target has been reached (up to 2 years) and 6 months after reaching study target (up to 2.5 years) , Month 2, up to 2 years, and up to 2.5 years. Brief summary: The primary goal of this study is to assess real-world effectiveness and implementation of an evidence-based multi-component strategy to reduce disparities in the allocation rate of advanced heart failure therapies, heart transplants and ventricular assist devices. This study proposes to implement evidence-based strategies that reduce unequal and unethical decision-making towards patients, replace subjective evaluations with objective criteria, and improve group dynamics in a randomized cluster trial. Our rigorously designed trial will inform national guidelines for advanced heart failure therapy allocation, and data are likely to be generalizable to other organ replacement treatments and advanced chronic disease decision-making processes across populations.
