About this study

The Latin America CRT Study is a prospective, multicenter, interventional post-market release study conducted in Latin America. The geography includes Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America, and South America.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to provide local evidence regarding Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT), in both pacing and defibrillation devices across Latin America. The primary objective will focus on changes in left ventricular heart size and function measurements in subjects receiving CRT therapy. The following additional parameters will also be collected:

  • Data on referral patterns in Latin America;
  • Data on device implant (including delivery system, device information, and lead information);
  • Clinical data on subject outcomes and changes (improved, unchanged, or worsened) in heart failure status as assessed by heart failure (HF) hospitalizations, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, mortality, and Quality of Life (QOL) measured by the Patient Global Assessment;
Conditions
Heart Failure.

What participants receive

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

  • Cardiac Resynchronization TherapyDevice

    All market-approved Medtronic CRT-D and CRT-P devices will be used in this study. All eligible devices are commercially released and will be used within their intended use per device labeling. The study may include future market-approved devices as they become commercially available. All market-approved leads may be used in the study. Epicardial leads may be used in the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in people with Heart Failure., run by Medtronic Latin America at 2 sites in Mexico.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 29 Mar 2011. 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 Mexico. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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?

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?

Measure heart size and function changes as assessed by Doppler echocardiogram (Echo). (time frame: 6 Months). 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 29 Mar 2011.
