About this study

This research study is a prospective, single-center, feasibility study designed to assess the possibility to detect hemodynamic changes during tachycardia episodes using tissue perfusion.

Read the detailed description

This study is being conducted to evaluate the feasibility to detect hemodynamic changes induced by supra-ventricular or ventricular tachycardia (SVT or VT) using tissue perfusion. Patients with a standard indication for either an electrophysiological study or an implantable cardioverter defibrillators(ICD) implant can be included into this study. Tissue perfusion and arterial blood pressure will be monitored and recorded throughout the electrophysiological procedure or ICD implant testing.

The study will be conducted in two consecutive phases. After completion of study phase I the study phase II will commence. Study phase I will be an acute non-invasive study in patients with an indication for an electrophysiological study, in whom tissue perfusion will be measured non-invasively with an epi-cutaneous tissue perfusion sensor. Phase II will be an acute invasive study in patients with an indication for the implantation of an ICD, in whom the tissue perfusion sensor will be placed in the surgically prepared device pocket on the muscular pectoralis or between the muscular pectoralis major and muscular pectoralis minor.

What participants receive

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

  • High rate atrial and vetricular stimulationProcedure or surgery

    Also called High rate pacing

    The right atria and ventricle of the subject will be electrically stimulated at high rate mimicking tachycardia episodes using electrodes placed in the right atria and ventricle.

  • Ventricular Tachycardia inductionProcedure or surgery

    Also called VT induction

    A programmed electrical stimulation protocol will be performed using an electrode placed in the right ventricle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in hemodynamic state during all tachycardia

    The primary objective is to demonstrate for all tachycardia (supra-ventricular and ventricular tachycardia) a 90 % [two sided confidence interval of 75-100 %] agreement between the true hemodynamic state (stable or unstable) derived from arterial blood pressure measurement and the hemodynamic state determined by tissue perfusion

    Measured: <3 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in hemodynamic state during SVT

    The secondary objective is to demonstrate for supra-ventricular tachycardia a 90 % [two sided confidence interval of 75-100 %] agreement between the true hemodynamic state (stable or unstable) derived from arterial blood pressure measurement and the hemodynamic state determined by tissue perfusion.

    Measured: <3 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High rate atrial and vetricular stimulation and Ventricular Tachycardia induction in people with Arrhythmias, Cardiac, run by Medtronic BRC at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 0 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 11 Jul 2016. 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 Germany. 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 stopped early (reason given: No enrollements for more than 6 months in Phase II). Results are not available in the source record.

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 hemodynamic state during all tachycardia (time frame: <3 hours). 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 11 Jul 2016.
