Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to compare Dual LV (left ventricular) pacing to standard single LV pacing (BiV pacing) to see if Dual LV pacing: 1. Improves the way the heart's left ventricle functions 2. Decreases the number of hospital and clinic visits for heart failure related symptoms 3. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Dual Site LV Pacing Study: Prospective Randomized Blinded Crossover Study of Patients Meeting Current CRT-D Indication to be Implanted With Dual LV Pacing Leads and Paced Chronically for at Least 6 Months Post-implant.

The purpose of this study is to compare Dual LV (left ventricular) pacing to standard single LV pacing (BiV pacing) to see if Dual LV pacing:

  1. Improves the way the heart's left ventricle functions
  2. Decreases the number of hospital and clinic visits for heart failure related symptoms
  3. Slows the rate patients experience certain heart failure symptoms
  4. Reduces uncoordinated heart contractions
Being tested
Dual Site LV Pacing, BiV Pacing
Medical subject headings
Heart Failure, Ventricular Dysfunction, Left

What participants receive

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

  • Dual Site LV PacingDevice

    Dual Site LV Pacing vs. BiV Pacing for a total of six months which includes two three crossover periods.

  • BiV PacingDevice

    Dual Site LV Pacing vs. BiV Pacing for a total of six months which includes two three crossover periods.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Left Ventricular End Systolic Volume (LVESV)

    The change in LVESV during the single and dual site LV pacing phases from baseline will be compared. The baseline for the second phase of the cross-over will be the end of phase one rather than the baseline done at time of randomization. Thus, the study will compare the incremental (or decremental) benefit of the alternate LV pacing configuration in each patient.

    Measured: At 6 months to one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dual Site LV Pacing and BiV Pacing in people with Congestive Heart Failure and LV Dysfunction, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 2 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 7 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 21 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 21 Mar 2016). 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?

Change in Left Ventricular End Systolic Volume (LVESV) (time frame: At 6 months to 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 21 Oct 2024.
