About this study

Official title: Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the CryoCor™ Cardiac Cryoablation System for the Treatment of Cavo-Tricuspid Valve Isthmus-Dependent Atrial Flutter

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of right atrial intra-cardiac lesions created by transvenous catheter cryoablation in patients with atrial flutter.

Read the detailed description

Catheter ablation of arrhythmias has become an accepted alternative to pharmacologic therapy. Cryoablation is a newer alternative to radiofrequency ablations. This study expands the prior pilot experience with the CryoCor™ Cardiac Cryoablation System to a larger cohort of patients with atrial flutter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Catheter-based cardiac cryoablation in people with Atrial Flutter, run by Boston Scientific Corporation.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Acute efficacy. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Feb 2011.
