Trial summary

The purpose of the Optimize RV study is to determine the long-term effect of selective site pacing. Selective site pacing refers to which area of the right ventricle the lead is placed. The goal of select site pacing is to improve how the heart contracts when paced in the ventricle. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of the Optimize RV study is to determine the long-term effect of selective site pacing. Selective site pacing refers to which area of the right ventricle the lead is placed. The goal of select site pacing is to improve how the heart contracts when paced in the ventricle. By pacing in select sites, it is possible to better copy the natural pattern of contraction of the heart.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Change in Left Ventricular (LV) Ejection Fraction From Baseline to Two Year Follow-up

    Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) will be measured at baseline and two year follow-up for the group of pacing at RV Mid-Septum and the group of pacing at Apex. The change in LVEF from baseline to two year follow-up will be compared between two groups to identify if pacing at selective RV sites (Mid-Septum or Apex) will have a different long term impact on the change in LVEF.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The Change in LVEF From Two Week Visit to Two Year Follow-up

    Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) will be measured at two week visit and 2 year follow-up for the group of pacing at RV Mid-Septum and the group of pacing at Apex. The change in LVEF from two week visit to 2 year follow-up will be compared between two groups to identify if pacing at selective RV sites (Mid-Septum or Apex) will have a different long term impact on the change in LVEF.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

  2. The Change in Six-minute Hall Walk Distance

    The change in six-minute hall walk distance will be measured at two week visit and 2 year follow-up for the group of pacing at RV Mid-Septum and the group of pacing at Apex. The change in six-minute hall walk distance will be compared between two groups to identify if pacing at selective RV sites (Mid-Septum or Apex) will have a different long term impact on the change in six-minute hall walk distance.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

  3. The Change in Left Ventricular (LV) End Systolic Volume (Diastolic Volume) After Two Years Follow-up

    LV end systolic volume (diastolic volume)will be measured at baseline and 2 year follow-up for the group of pacing at RV Mid-Septum and the group of pacing at Apex. The change in LV end systolic volume (diastolic volume)from two week visit to 2 year follow-up will be compared between two groups to identify if pacing at selective RV sites (Mid-Septum or Apex) will have a different long term impact on the change in LV end systolic volume (diastolic volume).

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

  4. Clinical Event (AT/AF Pnly or Composite of Worsening of Heart Failure, Stroke or Death) Rate From Baseline to Two Year Follow-up

    Clinical event (AT/AF pnly or composite of worsening of heart failure, stroke or death) rate from baseline to two year follow-up will be estimated and compared between the group of pacing at RV Mid-Septum and the group of pacing at Apex to identify if pacing at selective RV sites (Mid-Septum or Apex) will have a different long term impact on clinical event rate.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

  5. Clinical Event (Composite of Worsening of Heart Failure, Stroke or Death) Rate From Baseline to 2 Year Follow-up

    Clinical event (composite of worsening of heart failure, stroke or death) rate from baseline to 2 year follow-up will be estimated and compared between the group of pacing at RV Mid-Septum and the group of pacing at Apex to identify if pacing at selective RV sites (Mid-Septum or Apex) will have a different long term impact on clinical event(composite of worsening of heart failure, stroke or death)rate.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Medtronic Dual-Chamber Pacemaker and Medtronic SelectSecure 3830 Lead in people with Cardiac Pacing, Artificial and Cardiac Pacemaker, Artificial, run by Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure at 22 sites in 6 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in United States, Italy, Canada, China, Israel and 1 more country. 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 1 Nov 2012). 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?

The Change in Left Ventricular (LV) Ejection Fraction From Baseline to Two Year Follow-up (time frame: Baseline and 24 months). 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 31 Jan 2013.
