Due to the lower than expected recruitment rate, a blinded sample size/trial duration re-estimation was conducted 40 months after beginning of recruitment. It was estimated that the study duration needed to be extended to observe the required number of 734 primary endpoint events. Consequently, the required number of patients was reduced from 2190 to 1653. Following successful application for continued funding, the trial conduct was extended until the end of 2024 with an increased number of recruitment sites.</p>\u0000<figure><picture>\u0000<source media=\"(min-width: 1650px)\" srcset=\"/cms/asset/ac1e4670-08b1-49b0-a68e-3070fb766ec5/ejhf3575-fig-0001-m.jpg\"/><img alt=\"Details are in the caption following the image\" data-lg-src=\"/cms/asset/ac1e4670-08b1-49b0-a68e-3070fb766ec5/ejhf3575-fig-0001-m.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"/cms/asset/15c34113-a88e-4d0c-a014-858fe6aaa9e4/ejhf3575-fig-0001-m.png\" title=\"Details are in the caption following the image\"/></picture><figcaption>\u0000<div><strong>Figure 1<span style=\"font-weight:normal\"></span></strong><div>Open in figure viewer<i aria-hidden=\"true\"></i><span>PowerPoint</span></div>\u0000</div>\u0000<div>Summary of key protocol changes during the DIGIT-HF trial.
