About this study

Official title: Reduce Driveline Trauma Through Stabilization and Exit Site Management (RESIST) Pilot Study Protocol

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a Percutaneous Lead Management Kit for HeartMate II driveline stabilization and exit site management.

Read the detailed description

The Percutaneous Lead Management Kit is a combination of commercially available components that are packaged together in a kit to be used for HeartMate II driveline exit site cleaning, dressing and stabilization. The RESIST study is a prospective, non-randomized study to evaluate the wearability and usability of the Percutaneous Lead Management Kit. Evaluation of the Percutaneous Lead Management Kit for wearability and usability will be performed for 30 days from enrollment. Study patients will also be followed for up to 6 months for any evidence of driveline infection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Left Ventricular Assist Device and Percutaneous Lead Management, run by Abbott Medical Devices at 5 sites in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 5 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 24 Jun 2022. 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 United States. 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?

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?

Demonstration of the wearability and usability of the Percutaneous Lead Management Kit (time frame: Up to 30 days). 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 24 Jun 2022.
