About this study

Official title: ImCardia for DHF - Safety and Functionality

This study is designed to evaluate the ImCardia safety and to demonstrate system functionality in patients undergoing AV replacement with respect to 36 months follow up.

Being tested
ImCardia Device
Keywords
DHF (diastolic heart failure), HFNEF (heart failure with normal ejection fraction
Medical subject headings
Heart Failure, Diastolic

What participants receive

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

  • ImCardia DeviceDevice

    Also called IMC 01

    The device operates by harnessing energy expended by the left ventricle (LV) during Systole and returning it to the heart during Diastole thereby making it available to augment diastolic performance

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety: Adverse event reporting

    Adverse event reporting will continue up to 36 month follow up. Any complication attributed to the device will be recorded.

    Any Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE) will be evaluated in a safety committee composed from company representative and a cardiosurgeon which is not part of the company

    Measured: 36 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Functionality - Successful Device implantation

    The surgeon will score device implantation procedure post operation.

    Measured: Immediately post implantation day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing ImCardia Device in people with Heart Failure With Normal Ejection Fraction, run by CorAssist Cadiovascular Ltd..

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 6 inclusion and 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 2011. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 was stopped early (reason given: CorAssist believes that certain improvements are needed to the device). 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?

Safety: Adverse event reporting (time frame: 36 month). 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 4 May 2011.
