Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the VIP™ feature (available in dual chamber Victory® devices) to reduce unnecessary RV pacing, and to determine if patients with implanted SJM pacemakers will benefit by using VIP™ rather than only a programmed AV/PV delay.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient has been implanted with dual chamber SJM Victory® device with VIP™ for 1 month (± 2 weeks).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Intrinsic Ventricular Events

    This outcome measured evaluated the difference in the percentage of intrinsic ventricular events between VIP On and VIP Off. A higher percentage indicates more intrinsic ventricular events and a lower amount of unnecessary RV pacing.

    Measured: 6 months after randomization

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Incidence of Arrhythmias

    This outcome measure evaluated the difference in the percentage of time a patient spent in atrial tachycardia/atrial fibrillation (arrhythmia burden) calculated by the device between VIP On and VIP Off.

    Measured: 6 months after randomization

  2. Percentage of Atrial Sensing to Ventricular Sensing (%PR)

    This outcome measure evaluated the difference in the percentage of atrial sensing to ventricular sensing (%PR) detected by the device between VIP On and VIP Off. A higher percentage indicates more intrinsic ventricular events and a lower amount of unnecessary RV pacing.

    Measured: 6 months after randomization

  3. Percentage of Atrial Sensing to Ventricular Pacing (%PV)

    This outcome measure evaluated the difference in the percentage of Atrial Sensing to Ventricular Pacing (%PV) between VIP On and VIP Off. A lower percentage indicates more intrinsic ventricular events and a lower amount of unnecessary RV pacing.

    Measured: 6 months after randomization

  4. Percentage of Atrial Pacing to Ventricular Sensing (%AR)

    This outcome measure evaluated the difference in the percentage of Atrial Pacing to Ventricular Sensing (%AR) between VIP On and VIP Off. A higher percentage indicates more intrinsic ventricular events and a lower amount of unnecessary RV pacing.

    Measured: 6 months after randomization

  5. Percentage of Atrial Pacing to Ventricular Pacing (%AV)

    This outcome measure evaluated the difference in the percentage of Atrial Pacing to Ventricular Pacing (%AV) between VIP On and VIP Off. A lower percentage indicates more intrinsic ventricular events and a lower amount of unnecessary RV pacing.

    Measured: 6 months after randomization

  6. Percentage of Patients Experiencing a Study-Related Adverse Event

    This outcome measure evaluated the incidence of study-related adverse events between VIP On and VIP Off.

    Measured: 6 months after randomization

  7. Number of Auto Mode Switch Events

    This outcome measure evaluated the difference in the number of auto mode switch events between VIP On and VIP Off.

    Measured: 6 months after randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intervention/treatment in people with Bradycardia, run by Abbott Medical Devices at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 12 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Jul 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Intrinsic Ventricular Events (time frame: 6 months after randomization). 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 12 Aug 2021.
