Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) Versus Electrocardiography (ECG) Interventricular Pacing Delay Optimization in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)

A Phase 3 study testing Interventricular pacing delay optimization by using Tissue Doppler-derived displacement curves and Electrocardiographic optimization of the interventricular pacing delay according to QRS width in people with Heart Failure and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy, run by Hospital Clinic of Barcelona at 1 site in Spain.

What is being measured

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

  1. 6-month echocardiographic response

    Reduction of the end-systolic volume (measured in mililiters according to transthoracic echocardiography) of >10% as compared to the baseline value.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 6-month clinical response

    Combined end-point consisting in no death due to cardiovascular reasons, no heart transplantation and distance increase of >10% (measured in meters) in the 6-minute walking test.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Interventricular pacing delay optimization by using Tissue Doppler-derived displacement curves and Electrocardiographic optimization of the interventricular pacing delay according to QRS width in people with Heart Failure and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy, run by Hospital Clinic of Barcelona at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 27 Feb 2014. 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

6-month echocardiographic response. 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 27 Feb 2014.
