    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Relationship Between the Occurrence of Adverse Cardiac Event and 123I-mIBG Uptake on Planar Scintigraphy Categorized as High or Low Heart to Mediastinum (H/M) Ratio [Approximately 24 months from the date of administration of 123I-mIBG]

      H/M ratio for 123I-mIBG uptake at 3 hours 50 minutes post administration was calculated by dividing the counts/pixel in the total myocardium region of interest (ROI) by the counts/pixel in the 7x7 pixel mediastinal ROI. Assessments were done by 3 independent readers. H/M ratios were categorized as 'Low' and 'High' based on being <1.6 or ≥1.6 respectively. The efficacy of 123I-mIBG was based on the prognostic value of the imaging data collected relative to time to adverse cardiac events.

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details A total of 712 participants were screened, of whom 587 participants were enrolled.
    Pre-assignment Detail Of 587 participants, 6 were withdrawn prior to receiving investigational medicinal product (IMP). A total of 581 participants (533 Heart Failure [HF] and 48 control), were dosed at the 54 centers. However, one of these participants was administered 123I-mIBG not manufactured by the sponsor, and therefore excluded from all analyses.

    Analysis Population Description
    Primary efficacy population was 520 participants in HF group who received IMP and had a diagnostic (optimal or sub-optimal) 3 hour 50 minute planar image. Images from 2 HF participants were inadvertently not submitted and not presented to blinded readers. Here, N=efficacy population and n=number of participants assessed by specific readers.

    Comments Analysis based on Reader A readings. Data analysis to assess the relative hazard of an adverse cardiac event was performed using a Cox proportional hazards model. Hazard (risk) of an event for a participant with low H/M at time "t" was expressed as Hl (t)/ Hh (t) = Ψ, where Hl (t) and Hh (t) denote the hazard of an event at time t for participants with low H/M and high H/M respectively.
