About this study

Official title: Comparative Follow-up Schedule With Home Monitoring

The study investigates whether home monitoring follow-up of Pace-Maker patients is as efficient as conventional method in terms of Significant Serious Adverse Event (SSAE).

Read the detailed description

Due to its integrated long-distance telemetry, the implantable pacemaker Philos II DR-T is capable of periodically transmitting data from the pacemaker memory to the BIOTRONIK Service Center via patient device. The BIOTRONIK Service Center decodes the data and presents it to the physician on a password secured internet site. Additionally, in case certain event criteria are met, the most important Home Monitoring information are immediately faxed to the physician as an Event Report. These events can be customised by the physician. Thus, the physician will be able to closely monitor the patient and check the adequacy and efficiency of the pacemaker therapy without requiring the patient to visit the physician. The transmitted data comprise information on atrial and ventricular rhythm, atrioventricular conduction and system status.

The purpose of the national prospective, randomized, multicentric clinical study "COMPArative follow-up Schedule with home monitoring" (COMPAS) described here is to evaluate the benefits of pacemaker follow-up with home monitoring in France. The standard follow-up or therapeutic intervention will be deemed based on faxed event Reports reception and Cardio reports analysis on internet site. During the clinical study, the incidence of serious adverse events (hospitalisation, pacemaker dysfunction, and cardiovascular events), economic impact, safety, and practicability will be analysed. The findings from the ACTIVE group will be compared to those of a group receiving standard of care (CONTROL group). Both patient groups are followed for 18 months and will be followed with Home Monitoring switched on. The data from the CONTROL group will not be presented online to the attending physician, but a retrospective analysis on differences between the two groups will be performed.

The trial will be conducted as a prospective, randomised, open, multicenter, national clinical trial. The enrollment of 400 patients in 50 clinical centres in France is anticipated. The principal inclusion criterion is indication for dual chamber pacemaker/ICD implantation. Main exclusion criteria comprise pacemaker dependency.

What participants receive

  • Home MonitoringOther

    Also called Remote monitoring

    Both patient groups are followed for 18 months and will be followed with Home Monitoring switched on. The data from the CONTROL group will not be presented online to the attending physician, but a retrospective analysis on differences between the two groups will be performed.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CONTROL groupActive comparatorThe patients receive standard of care for 18 months. The CONTROL group patients will be equipped with Home Monitoring. However, the Home Monitoring data will not be used for patient surveillance; i. e. the patient will be followed in the conventional manner.
Receives: Other: Home Monitoring
ACTIVE groupExperimentalThe patients are followed by Home monitoring only. Every patient must be seen by his physician 18 months after enrolment for regular follow-up. Within this period, the additional Pace Maker follow-up or therapeutic intervention will be primarily triggered on cardio-reports reception or patient/physician call
Receives: Other: Home Monitoring

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with serious adverse events detected during and at the end of an 18 months follow-up period is compared for the two groups

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Efficacy of Home Monitoring to detect pacemaker dysfunction

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Reduction of associated cost

    Measured: 18 months

  3. Delay of Home Monitoring to manage adverse events

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Home Monitoring in people with Pacemaker, Artificial and Bradycardia, run by Biotronik France at 1 site in France.

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 13 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 24 Jun 2010. 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 France. 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?

Number of patients with serious adverse events detected during and at the end of an 18 months follow-up period is compared for the two groups (time frame: 18 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 NCT00989326, 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 24 Jun 2010.
