About this study
Official title: Radio Frequency Ablation for Atrial Flutter With Magnetic Resonance Guidance and Tracking: Pilot Study Using a Combination Imricor and Philips Interventional System
The Radio Frequency Ablation for Atrial Flutter with Magnetic Resonance Guidance and Tracking Pilot Study (hereafter referred to as "pilot study") is a prospective, non- randomized, single-center, pilot study. The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Imricor Medical Systems, Inc. (Imricor) Vision Ablation Catheter when used with related accessories for the treatment of type I atrial flutter. The Vision Ablation Catheter and its accessories have been designed for use under fluoroscopic or magnetic resonance guidance.
Read the detailed description
An objective of the study is to perform the entire ablation procedure from subject preparation through confirmation of bidirectional conduction block entirely under magnetic resonance guidance. However, at the investigator's discretion, the preparation of the subject may occur in a conventional electrophysiology laboratory followed by transferring the patient to the magnetic resonance suite for the ablation procedure. Additionally, if bidirectional conduction block is not achieved within 90 minutes from the initial catheter placement, the subject may be transferred from the magnetic resonance suite to a conventional electrophysiology lab to complete the procedure. Clinical success is bidirectional conduction block regardless of the environment within which the ablation occurs.
The study will be conducted at a single center, Herzzentrum Leipzig University Hospital, in Germany, and a maximum of 30 subjects meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will participate in the study. This study requires the use of investigational products from two independent manufacturers: Imricor and Philips. Imricor has developed the ablation catheter with related accessories, introducers, and recording system. Philips has developed an image guidance and mapping system that is compatible with the Imricor products. The Vision Ablation Catheter will be used in conjunction with the following investigational products: Vision Ablation Catheter Cable Set (accessory sterile cable), Vision Hemostasis Introducer, Vision Dual-Deflect Sheath, Horizon recording system, and the interventional MRI Suite (iSuite) image guidance and mapping system. With the exception of iSuite, which is manufactured by Philips, Imricor will provide all investigational devices used in the study. Each procedure will utilize the following two single-use products: two Vision Ablation Catheters and an accessory Catheter Cable set. At the discretion of the investigator, Vision Hemostasis Introducers may be used for femoral access and a Vision Dual- Deflect Sheath and may be used in conjunction with the Vision Ablation Catheter Cable Set. Ablation for the treatment of arrhythmia is an inherently complex procedure. Use of the investigational products listed above under magnetic resonance guidance is a new approach to performing the interventional electrophysiology procedure. The study population will consist of adult patients requiring ablation for type I atrial flutter.
Study subjects will require a follow-up visit or telephone call at 7 days post procedure.
Accordingly, the expected total study duration is approximately six months with study start planned for October 2014.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing ablation for typical atrial flutter and Vision Ablation Catheter in people with Atrial Flutter, run by University of Leipzig at 1 site in Germany.
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 21 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 6 Feb 2018. 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 Germany. 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 (reason given: The study was terminated prematurely on 05May 2015 because of the unavailability of study devices.). 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?
Number of serious adverse events (time frame: 1 day). 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 NCT02380937, which also lists 4 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 6 Feb 2018.
