About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Radiofrequency Ablation for the Treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Using the Bard High Density Mesh Ablation System (MAGELLAN)

This is a randomized controlled study of the Bard High Density Mesh Ablation System for treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. This study will determine if the HD Mesh Ablation System is as safe as and more effective than anti-arrhythmic drugs.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Major Complications

    A Major Complication was defined as any adverse event that met the following criteria: 1) event was a Serious Adverse Event; 2) event was related to study device (mesh/mesh toolkit) or study procedure and 3)event was a) a cardiovascular adverse event occurring within 7 days of the procedure and/or b) a direct ablation effect adverse event occurring within 12 months of the study procedure.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Number of Participants With Serious Atrial Fibrillation Events

    Due to the early study termination and the small number of randomized patients (seven), this primary endpoint analysis (comparison of the rate of events in the mesh group to the rate in the drug group) could not be performed. Counts of events occurring in the 36 treated patients are reported by study group instead.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Number of Participants With Freedom From Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation

    Due to the early termination and the enrollment of only seven randomized patients, the endpoint was not evaluable.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With the Occurrence of Pulmonary Vein Stenosis in Mesh Treated Patients.

    Defined as a greater than or equal to 70% diameter reduction in a pulmonary vein compared with the baseline measurement as assessed by an independent core imaging laboratory.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Number of Participants With Acute Procedural Success in Mesh Treated Patients.

    Acute procedural success was defined as the ability to isolate 3 of 4 pulmonary veins with the mesh ablation system alone without the need for further ablation with a distal tip catheter

    Measured: During the mesh ablation procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing HD Mesh Ablation System and Anti-arrhythmic drugs in people with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation, run by C. R. Bard at 13 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 26 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Oct 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?

Number of Participants With Major Complications (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Oct 2012.
