About this study

Official title: PARACHUTE III: A Multinational Trial to Evaluate the Longterm Safety of the Parachute System

The primary objective is to assess the longterm safety of the CardioKinetix Parachute Implant and Delivery System in the partitioning of the left ventricle in patients with heart failure due to ischemic heart disease. This sub-study has the additional assessment of improvement in Pressure Volume Loop and corresponding MSCT to allow improved monitoring of heart improvement after therapy. The PV Loop Substudy studies he effects of the Parachute Implant on pressure and volume as functional parameters of the Left Ventricle.

Read the detailed description

While current therapies for heart failure (including but not limited to: medical management, cardiac resynchronization and ICDs) may represent the best treatment available today for the majority of HF patients, the medical community recognizes that pharmacologic therapy has been optimized to nearly the extent that is possible, and that any incremental improvements in the management of HF patients will now come from device based therapies. With this background, CardioKinetix has developed a catheter-based intravascular approach to ventricular partitioning using an implantable device. The purpose of this study is to assess the longterm safety of using the CardioKinetix Parachute device to isolate the malfunctioning portion of the left ventricle in patients with symptoms of HF due to ischemic heart disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of long term safety of the Parachute system from baseline to 1 year and annually

    Assessment of long term safety as measured by site-reported device related MACE in real in real-world use of the Parachute Implant through 5 years of clinical follow-up.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Left Ventricular Volume Indices between baseline, 6 months, and annually

    Change in Left Ventricular Volume Indexes (End Systolic {LVESVI} and End Diastolic {LVEDVI}) as measured by echocardiography from baseline to 6 months and annually to 5 years

    Measured: 6 months and annually to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure and Myocardial Infarction, run by CardioKinetix, Inc at 3 sites in 3 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 13 inclusion and 18 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 22 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Belgium, Italy, 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?

The study was stopped early. 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?

Assessment of long term safety of the Parachute system from baseline to 1 year and annually (time frame: 5 years). 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 22 Jun 2017.
