About this study

Official title: AMPLATZER™ LAA Occluder Post Approval Study

The aim of this multicenter, non-randomized observational post-approval is to compile real world outcome data on the use of an AMPLATZER LAA Occluder in subjects with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The AMPLATZER LAA Occluders is a transcatheter, self-expanding nitinol device intended for use in preventing thrombus embolization from the LAA.

What participants receive

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

  • AMPLATZER™ LAA OccluderDevice

    Also called AMPLATZER™ Cardiac Plug™, AMPLATZER™ Amulet™

    The AMPLATZER™ LAA Occluder is intended to prevent thrombus embolization from the left atrial appendage (LAA) in patients who have nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation (AF). It may be considered for use in patients who have a high risk of stroke and bleeding and are deemed by their physician to have an appropriate rationale to seek a non-pharmacologic alternative to long term anticoagulants.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Effectiveness Endpoint 1: Composite Rate of Stroke (Including Ischemic or Hemorrhagic), Systemic Embolism and Cardiovascular or Unexplained Death

    The occurrence of one or more the composite of stroke (including ischemic or hemorrhagic), systemic embolism, or cardiovascular or unexplained death at 24 months from the time of enrollment

    Measured: Implant through 24 months

  2. Primary Effectiveness Endpoint 2: Composite Rate of Ischemic Stroke or Systemic Embolism

    The occurrence of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism at 24 months from the time of enrollment

    Measured: Implant through 24 months

  3. Primary Safety Endpoint: Number of Subjects With All Cause Death, Ischemic Stroke, Systemic Embolism, or Device or Procedure-Related Events Requiring Open Cardiac Surgery or Major Endovascular Repair

    The occurrence of one of the following events between the time of implant and within 7 days of the procedure or by hospital discharge, whichever is later: all-cause death, ischemic stroke, systemic embolism, or device or procedure-related events requiring open cardiac surgery or major endovascular repair

    Measured: Implant through 7 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of the Relative Risk Decrease Of Observed Rate of Ischemic Stroke at 24 Months With the CHA2DS2-VASc Predicted Rate for the Implant Population

    The secondary endpoint comparing the observed rate of ischemic stroke at 24 months with the congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), vascular disease, age 65 to 74 years, sex category (CHA2DS2-VASc) score predicted rate for the implant population. The following calculation was used to calculate the Relative Risk Decrease: (Predicted Rate minus Observed Rate) divided by Predicted Rate = Relative Risk Decrease.

    Measured: Implant through 24 months

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary Effectiveness Endpoint 1: Composite Rate of Stroke (Including Ischemic or Hemorrhagic), Systemic Embolism and Cardiovascular or Unexplained Death (time frame: Implant through 24 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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.
