About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Prolonged Inter/Intra-Atrial Delay That Would Preclude Optimization of Atrioventricular (AV) Delay in Patients Undergoing Biventricular (BiV) Device Placement

The purpose of this study is to determine the proportion of patients who are undergoing Biventricular (BiV) Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) implantation in whom optimization of atrioventricular (AV) delay is not possible due to prolonged inter-atrial/intra-atrial delay. These patients would benefit from left atrial pacing, and if a significant number of patients fall into this group, it may be beneficial to develop a left atrial lead.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective observational study. Patients referred for BiV-ICD implantation or upgrade will be implanted as is routinely done, with the following modifications:

  • Electrical readings will be taken at various points in the procedure.
  • The RA lead will temporarily be placed on the atrial septum for these readings (normally it is actively fixed to the RA appendage wall). The final RA lead position will be actively fixed to the RA appendage wall as is standard practice.
  • The CS lead will be placed in the proximal coronary sinus for these readings prior to passing it distally to pace the LV.
  • Patients will undergo transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) 30 days post-procedure. This will be coordinated to coincide with their standard 30-day follow-up appointment.

Conduction times between the left atrium and right atrium (inter-atrial conduction time) will be measured at the time of implant, and left atrial contraction time will be measured by TTE at the follow-up appointment. For patients in whom the inter-atrial conduction time plus the left atrial contraction time is greater than the right-atrial to right-ventricular conduction time, it is not possible to optimize the AV delay. The proportion of patients who fall into this group will be the main endpoint of the study. Patients will be followed for this study until their follow-up appointment and TTE at 30 days post-implant. The total sample size of this study will be 50 patients. We expect to consent approximately 75 patients, expecting that 1/3 will not meet all entrance criteria or will withdraw early.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center 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 6 inclusion and 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 2019. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

to determine the proportion of patients who are undergoing Biventricular (BiV) Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) implantation in whom optimization of atrioventricular (AV) delay is not possible due to prolonged inter-atrial/intra-atrial delay.. 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 7 Feb 2019.
