Randomized Evaluation of Bromocriptine In Myocardial Recovery THerapy for Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (REBIRTH)

Who is this study for? Patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy
What treatments are being studied? Bromocriptine+Guideline Directed Medical Therapy for Heart Failure+Rivaroxaban
Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (64) locations...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 4
SUMMARY

The study will enroll 200 women newly diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy within 5 months postpartum in a randomized placebo controlled trial of bromocriptine therapy to evaluate its impact on myocardial recovery and clinical outcomes. Given that bromocriptine prevents breastfeeding, an additional 50 women with peripartum cardiomyopathy excluded from the trial due to a desire to continue breastfeeding but meeting all other entry criteria will be followed in an observational cohort.

Participants
Target number of participants: 250
Treatments
Active_comparator: Bromocriptine Treatment Arm
100 Women in the Treatment Arm will receive guideline directed medical therapy for heart failure plus 8 weeks of bromocriptine administered orally as 2.5 mg twice daily for 2 weeks then 2.5mg once daily for 6 weeks. Women not on clinical anticoagulation will also receive prophylactic anticoagulation with rivaroxaban 10 mg once daily for 8 weeks while on bromocriptine.
Placebo_comparator: Placebo Arm
100 Women in the Placebo Arm will receive guideline directed medical therapy for heart failure plus 8 weeks of a placebo administered orally twice daily for 2 weeks then once daily for 6 weeks. Women not on clinical anticoagulation will not receive rivaroxaban but will instead receive a second placebo for 8 weeks.
Other: Breastfeeding Observational Cohort
Up to 50 women meeting all other criteria but excluded from REBIRTH due to an intent to continue to breastfeed will be enrolled in an observational cohort. They will receive guideline directed medical therapy with no additional interventions and will have the same follow up and assessment of myocardial recovery by echocardiogram at 6 and 12 months post entry as women in the randomized trial.
