Trial summary

Patients showing a normal value of SDI (< or + 8%) will randomly be assigned to CRT in "ON" or "OFF"mode at one month after implantation. In any case of emergency, an automated rescue mode is included in the device for the patients in "OFF" mode. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Forecasts Parameters of Real Time Three-dimensional Doppler Echocardiography in Selecting Patients With Chronic Heart Failure for Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy

Patients showing a normal value of SDI (< or + 8%) will randomly be assigned to CRT in "ON" or "OFF"mode at one month after implantation. In any case of emergency, an automated rescue mode is included in the device for the patients in "OFF" mode.

Read the detailed description

Patients with a pathological SDI (> 8%) will as usually be treated by CRT and will serve as control group. The study duration for each patient included in the trial is 6 months. Patients showing a decreased NYHA score by at least one class and an absence of major cardiovascular event during the period will be considered as "good responders". The otherswill be considered as "no responders".

Based on this composite clinical score, the percentage of good responders in each group at 6 months is the primary endpoint of the study.

Main secondary endpoints :

  • Evaluation of the left ventricular function
  • Exercice capacity
  • Serious adverse events'frequency
  • Quality of life (SF36)
  • Diagnostic and prognostic value of the "Brain Natriuretic Peptide"(NT pro BNP)evolution.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Doppler echocardiography in people with Chronic Heart Failure, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 1 site in France.

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 8 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 8 Sep 2010. 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 France. 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?

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?

Three parallel arms, randomized, controlled, single blinded, monocentre, clinical trial.. 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 8 Sep 2010.
