About this study

This prospective, randomized, single blind, multi-centre study will examine the effect of the right ventricular (RV) lead location in patients implanted with a cardiac resynchronization defibrillator.

  1. Purpose : To compare the effect of RV mid-septal (RVS) versus RV apical (RVA) lead location on left ventricular reverse remodeling in patients indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy device (CRT-D) over a period of 6 months and to evaluate the clinical outcome of the RVS versus RVA pacing, over a period of 12 months.
  2. Objectives:
Read more

The primary objective is to demonstrate that there is no difference between the two groups (RVA vs. RVS) in the change of left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV), between baseline and 6 months.

The secondary objectives are to evaluate the percentage of "echo-responders" plus additional clinical and safety outcomes.

This prospective, randomized, multi-centre, single-blind with 2 parallel arms, non-inferiority study will be conducted in approximately 25 study centres in Europe. The patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. A maximum of 416 patients will be enrolled in this study.

All eligible patients will be followed through baseline, randomisation, pre discharge, 1, 6 and 12 months post-implant. Enrolment is expected to be completed in 18 months. The total duration of the study is expected to be approximately 30 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CRT-D Therapy in people with Systolic Heart Failure and Ventricular Tachycardia, run by Guidant Corporation at 26 sites in 2 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 11 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 30 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in France, Spain. 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?

left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV) (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT00833352, 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 30 Jan 2014.
