Background
• Therapeutic options are limited for patients with advanced heart failure
who become refractory to conventional pharmacological therapies
• The injection of biomaterials into diseased myocardium has been
shown to reduce myofiber stress, LV wall stress, restore LV geometry
and improve LV function1,2
• Algisyl® is a medical device that consists of an alginate hydrogel that is
injected into the midwall of the LV, where it remains as a permanent
implant that is intended to reduce LV wall stress and prevent or reverse
the progression of HF
• Results of the AUGMENT-HF 6-month primary endpoint analysis were
presented at this meeting in 2014 and published earlier this summer3

lab at 6 months
• Secondary Endpoints: peak VO2, 6MWT, Symptoms, QOL and
measures of LV remodeling (echo) at 12, 18 and 24 months

Algisyl was superior to SMT at 12 months with a mean treatment effect of 2.10
mL/kg/min (CI 0.96–3.24). Algisyl patients completed the 1 year follow-up with a
mean peak VO2 of 14.0 (±3.1) mL/min/kg

AT is independent of patient motivation or effort. Algisyl was superior to SMT with a mean
treatment effect of 2.34 mL/kg/min (CI 1.35–3.32) at 12 months (p<0.001).

Post-hoc Analysis – Impact of Missing Peak VO2 Data
• This is an advanced HF patient population with a high 1 year mortality,
hence loss of patient data over this period is a concern.
• Shown here is a post-hoc analysis of the repeated measures model for
Peak VO2 including only paired data; those 58 patients with both a
baseline and a 12 months assessment.

At 12 months, 85% of patients in the Algisyl group were NYHA functional class I or II
compared to 25% of patients on SMT. Only 4 patients in the Algisyl group remained in
NYHA class III at 12 months. These differences were highly statistically significant. The odds
ratio favoring improvement by one class for Algisyl was 31.90 (CI 7.6–133.4); P < 0.001

The Future of Algisyl
AUGMENT-HF II – Large US PMA Study (recent FDA cleared IDE)
•Sample size of 240 patients, randomized 1:1 versus usual care
•Endpoints essentially identical to the prior AUGMENT-HF study
•Peak VO2 and Combined HF hospitalization and mortality
Algisyl as a Percutaneous Intervention
16
Conclusions
•
We previously reported that Algisyl injections can be administered safely in
patients with advanced HF, with an acceptable 30 day post-operative morbidity &
mortality.
•
These one-year follow-up results from AUGMENT-HF demonstrate continued long
term benefits of the Algisyl implant procedure in patients with advanced HF.
•
Algisyl combined with SMT provided substantial improvements in functional
capacity & HF symptoms compared to patients on SMT alone at 1 year post
treatment.
•
The 1 year MACE suggest a potential favorable reduction in HF hospitalization in
patients treated with Algisyl. However there was a trend towards higher CV
mortality and overall mortality at 1 year for patients receiving Algisyl.
•
Longer term observations for this patient cohort and larger studies will provide
insights into important clinical outcomes such as HF hospitalizations and CV
mortality
