Secondary Effectiveness Endpoints
MLWHFQ results at 24 weeks are presented in Table 3 and show that the CCM
group was statistically significantly superior over the control group (p < 0.001) in each
study.

The percentage of patients improving by 1 or more NYHA class by study was
statistically significantly superior in the CCM group compared to the control group
(p < 0.001 in each study; Table 7).

In the FIX-HF-5C study, the p-value for the comparison of mean peak VO
2
at 24
weeks for CCM compared to control among observations with RER > 1.05 was
0.1100. Therefore, this secondary effectiveness endpoint was not met with FIX-HF-
5C data alone. When data were pooled from the FIX-HF-5 and FIX-HF-5C studies,
the treatment effect was estimated as 0.62 mL/kg/min with a p-value of 0.009. In
addition, the endpoint was met in the FIX-HF-5 subgroup (Table 8).
