About this study

Official title: Prospective.Randomized, Blinded, Crossover Chronic IDE Study of the Effects of Pacing on Mitral Regurgitation in Patients Without Standard Indications for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

The purpose of this study is to show that CRT(Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) pacing in patients with severe functional MR (Mitral Regurgitation) who are not currently indicated for CRT will demonstrate chronic benefit of MR reduction( via echo measured MR/LA area and ERO per American Society of ECHO guidelines) and to show that CRT pacing is safe in these patients.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 50 patients will be randomized, followed and analyzed in this prospective study. Patients who meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria will be enrolled and implanted with a CRT system. Baseline evaluation, which includes clinical symptom evaluation and an echocardiogram, will be performed at the time of randomization, which should occur as soon after device implant as possible but no later than 2 week post -implant. The baseline echocardiogram should be acquired prior to the device being programmed to the randomized setting. Repeat echocardiograms and scheduled follow-up evaluations will be performed at the end of each 3 month crossover period.

What participants receive

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

  • CRT pacingDevice

    The chronic effect of CRT pacing on the degree of MR in pts with severe-to-moderate or severe functional MR. The treatment being studied is CRT pacing therapy with standard of care LV lead placement. Patients will be randomized to CRT pacing ON vs. OFF and followed for a total of up to 8 months. This includes two 3-month crossover periods for each pacing modality (CRT ON and CRT OFF) and a 6-week washout period between these periods.

What is being measured

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

  1. Chronic(8 months post-implant) benefit of MR reduction

    To show that CRT pacing in patients with severe functional MR who are not currently indicated for CRT will demonstrate chronic(8 months post-implant) benefit of MR reduction (via echo measured MR/LA area and ERO per American Society of Echo guidelines)

    Measured: Chronic

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To compare MR Severity (ERO and MR/LA area), heart volume and dimensions via echo and clinical symptoms between two pacing modalities

    Secondary objectives will compare MR severity (ERO and MR/LA area), heart volume and dimensions via echo (LA and LV), LVEF via echo (Simpson's method and clinical sypmtoms (NYHA class, QOL, 6MHW distance) between the two pacing modalities (CRT ON and OFF)

    Measured: Chronic

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CRT pacing in people with Mitral Regurgitation, run by Trinity Medical Center, Illinois.

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 11 inclusion and 18 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 2 Dec 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Contact Helbert Acosta, MD (309-236-0810, mirbiacosta@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Chronic(8 months post-implant) benefit of MR reduction (time frame: Chronic). 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 2 Dec 2010.
