About this study

Official title: Sensor Optimization of CRT Response

The Sensor Optimization of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Response (SOCR) Study is a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized acute feasibility study that is being conducted to determine if subcutaneous heart sounds and/or intracardiac impedance can acutely identify the optimal atrioventricular (AV) pacing intervals and optimal left ventricular (LV) electrodes in patients indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. AV Interval Determination Using Impedance

    Current practices use the measurement LV dP/dt max to determine how the AV interval should be programmed in a CRT device. Intracardiac impedance is another method that could be used to determine the optimal AV interval. This outcome measure is the number of patients where the optimal AV interval setting as determined by intracardiac impedance agrees within one AV interval setting (30 milliseconds) of the optimal setting determined by LV dP/dt max.

    Measured: During implant

  2. AV Interval Determination Using Heart Sounds

    Current practices use the measurement LV dP/dt max to determine how the AV interval should be programmed in a CRT device. A heart sounds measure, called S1 Amplitude Transition, is another method that could be used to determine the optimal AV interval. This outcome measure is the number of patients where the optimal AV interval setting as determined by heart sounds agrees within one AV interval setting (30 milliseconds) of the optimal setting determined by LV dP/dt max

    Measured: During implant

  3. Optimal Electrode Configuration Determination Using Impedance

    Current practices use the measurement LV dP/dt max to determine how the optimal electrode configuration for a CRT device. Intracardiac impedance is another method that could be used to determine the optimal electrode configuration. This outcome measure is the number of patients where the optimal electrode configuration setting as determined by intracardiac impedance agrees with the optimal setting determined by LV dP/dt max

    Measured: During implant

  4. Optimal Electrode Configuration Determination Using Heart Sounds

    Current practices use the measurement LV dP/dt max to determine how the optimal electrode configuration for a CRT device. Heart sounds, as measured by S1 Amplitude, is another method that could be used to determine the optimal electrode configuration. This outcome measure is the number of patients where the optimal electrode configuration setting as determined by heart sounds agrees with the optimal setting determined by LV dP/dt max

    Measured: During implant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in people with Heart Failure, run by Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure at 9 sites in 4 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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 29 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States, Canada, Hong Kong, United Kingdom. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Aug 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

AV Interval Determination Using Impedance (time frame: During implant). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01832493, 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 29 Aug 2016.
