Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Candidates may come from the investigator's general population, who require DR ICD or CRT-D therapy for primary or secondary ICD indication and meet all study eligibility criteria.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients already implanted with an OVATIO DR or CRT-D device may be included in the study if they presented with at least one clinical VT/VF event at the follow-up visit preceding the enrolment.
  • ICD or CRT-D device upgrading or replacement are allowed but under the condition that existing bipolar RV sensing/pacing lead and/or defibrillation lead and/or LV pacing lead (where applicable) are not of poor or questionable integrity.
  • Patients with implanted pacemakers may be included in the study only if the pacemaker is to be explanted or otherwise disabled prior to implanting the ICD or CRT-D system, to avoid any potential pacemaker-ICD interactions.
  • Patients must comply with all the following criteria in order to be included in the CAN-DETECT study:
  • Patient is eligible for implantation of a dual-chamber ICD or a CRT-D device according to current available guidelines for primary or secondary ICD indication .
  • A stable, optimal (as determined by the enrolling physician) drug regimen
  • Scheduled for implant of an OVATIO DR Model 6550 or OVATIO CRT 6750 or an equivalent device from Sorin Group.
  • Signed and dated informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Any patient complying with any of the following criteria cannot be included in the CAN-DETECT study:
  • Any contraindication for standard cardiac pacing
  • Any contraindication for ICD therapy
  • Permanent high-degree AV Block for patients planned for dual-chamber ICD implant only.
  • Permanent AF for patients planned for dual-chamber ICD implant only.
  • Abdominal implantation site

  • Acute myocarditis
  • Mechanical tricuspid valve
  • Heart transplant recipient
  • Already participating in another clinical study
  • Life expectancy less than 6 months
  • Inability to understand the purpose of the study or refusal to cooperate
  • Inability or refusal to provide informed consent

About this study

Official title: CANadian Clinical Evaluation of the Automatic Arrhythmia DETECTion in SpiderFlash™ Device

This clinical investigation is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center pivotal trial.

This trial aims to validate the automatic detection features provided by the external long-duration SpiderFlash-t™ Event recorder coupled with its analyser EventScope™, and to assess the performances of the Mode Switch function provided by Sorin Group Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICDs).

Read more

This trial is being performed first in order to demonstrate the ventricular tachycardia (VT)/ ventricular fibrillation (VF) sensitivity of the automatic VT/VF detection function of the EventScope™ software.

Patients will be implanted with an ICD from Sorin Group, with PARAD+ arrhythmia detection enabled and Mode Switch (MS) algorithms activated in all patients.

Arrhythmic events will be documented over a period of 6 to 8 weeks for each patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. VT/VF sensitivity

    The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the automatic detection of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) by the EventScope™ analyzer found in the Holter monitor SpiderFlash-t™. In order to validate this objective we will use the arrhythmia data collected in the memory storage found in the Sorin Group DR and CRT ICDs.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. AF sensitivity

    The main secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the detection of atrial fibrillation by the Mode Switch algorithm found in the Sorin Group defibrillators. However, as SpiderFlash-t has only been validated on patients with spontaneous rhythm, in order to achieve this objective we will use the AF events detected by the EventScope™ in patients presenting with a spontaneous rhythm. SafeR mode, programmed in DR devices, will permit preservation of such rhythm.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arrhythmias, Cardiac, run by Sorin Group Canada at 5 sites in Canada.

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 8 inclusion and 16 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

VT/VF sensitivity (time frame: 2 years). 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 13 Jun 2011.
