Trial summary

Presently, the left ventricular lead is placed in a similar position for all patients. It is not known whether placing this lead in different positions in the heart will make the heart pump better. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Virtual Left Ventricular Lead Navigation in Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

Presently, the left ventricular lead is placed in a similar position for all patients. It is not known whether placing this lead in different positions in the heart will make the heart pump better. In this study, the investigator will collect measurements of the heart's electrical activity during an Electrophysiology Study (EP study or EPS). The hope is that these measurements will provide the know how to develop an individualized left ventricular lead placement "prescription" for patients referred for left ventricular lead pacing.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Collection of measurements during LV pacing during electrophysiology studyOther

    During the electrophysiology study, measurements will be obtained while pacing from different left ventricular regions in context to scar as determined by SPECT-CT testing.

Electrophysiology StudyOtherThis is a single arm study, all study participants will be referred for an Electrophysiology Study
Receives: Other: Collection of measurements during LV pacing during electrophysiology study

What is being measured

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

  1. dP/dt measurements observed during pacing from different left ventricular regions

    During the electrophysiology study, the dP/dt measurements will be observed during pacing from different left ventricular regions.

    Measured: Measurements will be observed at the time of the electrophysiology study (EPS) at enrollment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Collection of measurements during LV pacing during electrophysiology study in people with Cardiomyopathy and Ischemic Cardiomyopathy, run by University of Pittsburgh at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 8 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 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 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

dP/dt measurements observed during pacing from different left ventricular regions (time frame: Measurements will be observed at the time of the electrophysiology study (EPS) at enrollment.). 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 NCT01825239, which also lists 8 linked publications.

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 7 Aug 2015.
