About this study

Official title: Study of the Role of Intraventricular Electrical Activation in the Treatment of Congestive Heart Failure by Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: Invasive Evaluation and Validation of Non-Invasive Strategy Using CardioInsight ®

Impact of intraventricular electrical activation in resynchronization therapy. We seek to evaluate the impact of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) on electrical activation of the Left Ventricle (LV). The first goal of the study is to evaluate if CRT is able to decrease the heterogeneity of LV activation in heart failure patients. A second goal is to evaluate the electrical determinant of clinical response to CRT using invasive and non-invasive mapping technology.

Read the detailed description

Comprehensive study, prospective, monocentric and cohort study.

Biventricular pacing is an effective therapy to improve end stage heart failure patients, however up to 30% of patients are unresponsive to this therapy. Among others, optimization of Left Ventricle (LV) pacing site location is critical to optimize response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT). Whether a better comprehension of baseline LV electrical activation can help to determine optimal LV lead location remains to be investigated.

After informed consent patients are included in the sudy. Day 1: CRT device is implanted under general anesthesia in a conventional fashion. The coronary sinus leads will be implanted guided by the acute hemodynamic response (+(dP/dt)max) using a RADI guide wire. After device implantation, a steerable mapping catheter will be inserted in the LV cavity to build a tridimensional activation map of the LV. This map will be obtained with and without CRT. From these maps different parameters describing LV activation will be measured and compared between patients with and without CRT. Quantitative parameters: Global LV activation time (LVATG) (primary outcome); septal activation time (LVTAS); Global intra-LV dispersion time and Qualitative parameters: presence of intraLV line of block, area of late activation. Day 5±2: A non-invasive map of the LV will be recorded with the CardioInsight ® system with and without CRT. The same parameters will be measured and compared with those obtained with invasive mapping. A 3 and 6 months follow-up visit including clinical, biological evaluation (NYHA status, 6-min walking test, BNP) of the patients will be performed with an additional transthoracic echocardiography at 6 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evolution of the Global Left Ventricle activation time (LVATG) with and without Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT).

    Measured: Day 1 : End of CRT device implantation

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number, area and location of line of conduction block in the Left Ventricle

    Measured: Day 1 : End of CRT device implantation

  2. Area of the latest activated region of the Left Ventricle

    Measured: Day 1 : End of CRT device implantation

  3. Number, area and location of LV region activated after the end of surface QRS

    Measured: Day 1 : End of CRT device implantation

  4. Septal activation time (LVTAS)

    Measured: Day 1 : End of CRT device implantation

  5. Global intra-Left Ventricular dispersion time

    Measured: Day 1 : End of CRT device implantation

  6. Determination of the electrical parameters associated with good clinical response to CRT at 6 months.

    Measured: 6 months after CRT device implantation

  7. Non-invasive mapping: Same criteria evaluated non-invasively using CardioInsight ® with and without Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy activated.

    Measured: Between 3 to 7 days after CRT device implantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Invasive mapping with CARTO3 system and Non-Invasive mapping with CardioInsight Atlas EC Mapping system in people with Heart Failure and Cardiomyopathy, Dilated, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 1 site in France.

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 2 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 6 Mar 2015. 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 France. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Evolution of the Global Left Ventricle activation time (LVATG) with and without Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT). (time frame: Day 1 : End of CRT device implantation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01270646, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Mar 2015.
