Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 74 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects who have a diagnosis matching the approved indication and are being considered for an IPG replacement comprise the target population of this study. All subjects who meet the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria and have signed an Ethics Committee (EC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved informed consent will be considered enrolled in the study.

Who may be able to join

  • Subject (and caregiver, if applicable) signed the approved Informed Consent;
  • Subject is ≥ 18 and ≤ 74 years of age;
  • Subject is bilaterally treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) using a constant voltage device (i.e. Soletra™, Itrel™, Kinetra™, ActivaPC™ or ActivaRC™ IPG) and is responding satisfactory to CV stimulation in the Investigator's opinion;
  • In the physician's opinion, the subject is a suitable candidate for an IPG replacement with different stimulation paradigm;
  • Subject needs and/or requests an IPG replacement within 12 months after consent and the current IPG has at least 2.6 V output left (i.e. approx. 30% of full battery capacity) at the time of subject enrollment;
  • PD symptom onset is no longer than 20 years;
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Subject has a Hoehn \& Yahr score <IV (on stim);
  • Subject with a normal cognitive function (MMSE ≥25);
  • Subject is fluent speaker (as judged by the investigator) of the language spoken in the country where the investigational site is located.

Who cannot join

  • IPG battery has less than 30% battery life at the time of consent;
  • Need to replace or reposition the leads or extensions during the IPG replacement procedure;
  • Subject had >10 recurrent falls experienced in the 3 months prior to consent;
  • Subject is unwilling to change to either a St Jude Medical Infinity™ or Brio™ DBS system for the IPG replacement;
  • Subject is unable to attend the study visits.

About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation Comparing the Effects of Constant Current Versus Constant Voltage in Deep Brain Stimulation Using Hybrid Systems

This post-marketing evaluation has been designed to consistently investigate the subject's preference when switching from a Medtronic® constant voltage or constant current device to a St Jude Medical Infinity™ or St Jude Medical Brio™ constant current system. As electrodes will not be re-positioned, differences in subject's preference are to be explained by the difference in shape of the delivered pulse or waveform between the two systems.

Being tested
SJM Infinity™ DBS IPG or SJM Brio™ DBS IPG system
Keywords
SJM Infinity™, SJM Brio™, Implantable pulse generator (IPG) replacement, SJM-CIP-10135, Deep brain stimulation (DBS)

What is being measured

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

  1. The Percentage of Subjects Who Indicate Preference on Constant Current Over Constant Voltage at the 3 Month Follow-up Visit.

    Proportion of subjects who preferred constant current device over constant voltage, tested against a performance goal (PG) of 50.0% at the 3-month follow-up visit.

    Measured: 3 Months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Events Per Patient-year of Follow-up

    Total number of safety events related to battery replacement surgical procedures for hybrid systems divided by total follow-up duration from IPG replacement visit to either 12M visit or withdrawal visit (patient-years).

    Measured: 12 months after IPG replacement

  2. Incidence Rate

    Number of subjects who underwent IPG replacement and encountered safety events related to battery replacement surgical procedure for hybrid system divided by total subjects who underwent IPG replacement.

    Measured: 12 months after IPG replacement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Parkinson Disease, run by Abbott Medical Devices at 14 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 9 inclusion and 5 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 8 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Italy, United States, 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Jul 2024). 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?

The Percentage of Subjects Who Indicate Preference on Constant Current Over Constant Voltage at the 3 Month Follow-up Visit. (time frame: 3 Months). 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 8 Jul 2024.
