About this study

The proposed study is designed to characterize defibrillation efficacy in humans for the potential development of a new extravascular implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) system.

Read the detailed description

The study recruited male and female subjects that met all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. All subjects were scheduled to undergo surgical procedures outlined in the inclusion criteria. These surgical procedures were chosen as the patient population for this study because these procedures require similar personnel and may require access to similar or the same spaces as the ASD procedure.

The entire ASD study research system was removed prior to proceeding with the subject's planned surgery per standard medical practice, which then proceeded according to the standard of care.

Subjects were followed through their routine post-surgery follow-up visit.

At the time of completing the follow-up visit, the subjects' participation was complete and the subjects exited the study.

Being tested
Defibrillation following induction of VT/VF

What participants receive

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

  • Defibrillation following induction of VT/VFDevice

    Up to 10 VT/VF induction attempts followed by shock(s) delivered by an externally placed ICD and/or external defibrillator.

Study groups in NCT02227121
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
VT/VF induction and defibrillationExperimentalVentricular Tachycardia and Ventricular Fibrillation (VT/VF) induction and defibrillation will be carried out as the invention in all subjects undergoing study procedures.
Receives: Device: Defibrillation following induction of VT/VF

What is being measured

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

  1. Defibrillation Outcome

    Subjects will demonstrate a successful defibrillation outcome if they have a successful defibrillation shock with the research system.

    Measured: Day of procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Defibrillation following induction of VT/VF in people with Ventricular Arrhythmias, run by Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure at 7 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 7 inclusion and 16 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 13 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United Kingdom, Netherlands, Hong Kong, Poland. 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 13 Feb 2017). 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?

Defibrillation Outcome (time frame: Day of procedure). 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 13 Feb 2017.
