Trial summary

To test the hypothesis that localized functional reentry maintains Afib in humans, ibutilide will be administered intravenously in patients undergoing an Afib ablation. The hypothesis of this study is that ibutilide will decrease the high frequency signals observed in Afib suggesting the presence of micro reentrant… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Atrial Fibrillation Mechanism Analysis Through Ibutilide Administration During Pulmonary Vein Ablation.

To test the hypothesis that localized functional reentry maintains Afib in humans, ibutilide will be administered intravenously in patients undergoing an Afib ablation. The hypothesis of this study is that ibutilide will decrease the high frequency signals observed in Afib suggesting the presence of micro reentrant circuits as the basic mechanism of Afib, especially for the paroxysmal Afib group. The potential difference in response to the ibutilide in patients with paroxysmal versus persistent Afib may show the difference in the underlying mechanism of Afib between these two groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Ibutilide fumarateDrug

    During scheduled radio frequency ablation for atrial fibrillation patients will be infused with 1mg of ibutilide over 10 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. To discern the basic mechanism of Afib by studying its response to Ibutilide administration.

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To compare the ibutilide response in patients with paroxysmal versus permanent Afib

    Measured: one year

  2. To study the subgroup of patients that converted to sinus rhythm in order to identify various factors that may have increased their susceptibility to ibutilide.

    Measured: one year

  3. To improve the current results of pulmonary vein isolation by performing a procedure guided by ablation of high dominant frequency areas.

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ibutilide fumarate in people with Atrial Fibrillation and Pulmonary Vein Ablation, run by Ball Memorial Hospital 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 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2012. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Antonio Navarrete, MD (765-281-2000, annavarr@mac.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To discern the basic mechanism of Afib by studying its response to Ibutilide administration. (time frame: one year). 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 2012.
