Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine, using echocardiography, whether bi-ventricular pacing improves the contractile force by resynchronizing both ventricles, thereby improving and/or correcting the paradoxical septal movement. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine, using echocardiography, whether bi-ventricular pacing improves the contractile force by resynchronizing both ventricles, thereby improving and/or correcting the paradoxical septal movement.

Primary Hypothesis:

  • Bi-ventricular pacing post cardiac surgery will result in at least a 10% increase in cardiac index (CI) as compared with standard atrio-right ventricular pacing.

Secondary Hypothesis:

  • Bi-ventricular pacing post cardiac surgery will result in at least a 10% increase in cardiac index (CI) as compared with atrio-left ventricular pacing and right atrium pacing.
Read the detailed description

Clinical trials done to date have focused on the efficacy of biventricular pacing (BVP) in the treatment of patients with congestive heart failure, Intraventricular conduction delay, dilated cardiomyopathies, and post cardiac surgery. However, studies done in post cardiac surgery patients are limited by their small sample size (4-22 patients with overall of 51 patients), non-randomized pacing protocol and by their inability to determine a definitive mechanism for the improved hemodynamics observed with BVP. Therefore, we propose to complete a pilot study aimed at determining both the magnitude of the hemodynamic benefit associated with BVP, if any. In addition, we will investigate changes in intra-ventricular septal motion as a possible mechanism for the previously observed changes in cardiac hemodynamics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ethicon TPW32 60 cm (pacing wires x 2) in people with Coronary Disease, run by Unity Health Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 12 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 23 Dec 2009. 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 Canada. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Cardiac index. 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 23 Dec 2009.
