About this study

This pilot study is designed as a multi-centre cohort study determining the degree of LV reverse remodeling in patients with intermediate QRS widths (120-149ms) who undergo CRT implant with transseptal LV leads, and comparing to the average expected reverse remodeling rate in patients with standard transvenous coronary sinus leads and QRS widths ≥150ms.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-centre prospective cohort trial to establish the feasibility of endocardial CRT implants.This trial will assess feasibility of a larger scale randomized controlled study.

Patients consented to the study will receive a CRT device with or without ICD, placed in the same time frame, and will have RA and RV leads implanted as the standard of care. The device will be implanted in a facility that has the capacity to perform trans-atrial septal puncture with ultrasound guidance (TEE or ICE) at the time of implantation. The LV lead will be placed using a trans-atrial septal approach, using specially designed puncture tools and LVendo delivery tool kits specifically designed for this study. Special care will be taken to avoid the LV apex and transmural scar identified by pre-implant imaging. Electrical testing, and programming of the device will be standardized.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure,Congestive and Left Ventricular Dysfunction, run by Jaimie Manlucu at 8 sites in Canada.

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 8 inclusion and 17 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Canada. 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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

LV end-systolic volume (time frame: Change from Baseline measure to 6 months). The study lists 2 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.

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 24 Jul 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
