About this study

This study will look at how pacing your heart may assist your daily activities and how you are feeling.

Read the detailed description

RESET is a multicenter trial that will assess the effect of pacing in heart failure patients with a normal ejection fraction (or diastolic heart failure). The purpose of the RESET study is to evaluate the effect of pacing on exercise capacity and quality of life in this heart failure population.

Conditions
Heart Failure
Being tested
Insignia Plus / Ultra (Guidant/Boston Scientific)
Keywords
Heart failure, exercise capacity, ejection fraction, Heart failure normal ejection fraction
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Insignia Plus / Ultra (Guidant/Boston Scientific)Device

    Also called Guidant or Boston Scientific implantable pacemakers

    Cardiac pacing using any Guidant/Boston Scientific Implantable Pacemaker System with rate-modulation and any compatible intracardiac lead system.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peak Volume of Oxygen Uptake (Peak VO2) - Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) On at One Month vs. Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) Off at One Month.

    Randomized therapy order cross-over comparison at 1 month post-implant. Each patient evaluated for endpoint with and without RAP therapy at this time.

    Measured: 1 month post implant

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Peak Volume of Oxygen Uptake (Peak VO2) - Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) On at Six Months vs. Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) Off at One Month.

    Each patient had RAP therapy On from one through six months. This endpoint evaluated Peak VO2 measured at 6 months (RAP On) vs. Peak VO2 measured at 1 month without RAP therapy (RAP Off).All participants were "RAP On" for months 1 through 6. All participants were 'Rap On' for months 6 to 12.

    Measured: 6 months post implant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Insignia Plus / Ultra (Guidant/Boston Scientific) in people with Heart Failure, run by Boston Scientific Corporation at 5 sites 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 5 inclusion and 9 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 19 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 May 2017). 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?

Peak Volume of Oxygen Uptake (Peak VO2) - Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) On at One Month vs. Rate Adaptive Pacing (RAP) Off at One Month. (time frame: 1 month post implant). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00670111, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 May 2017.
