Trial summary

S-ICD (subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) screening failure occurs in about 10% of cases. Predictors of screening failure are not yet well determined. Moreover, slight variations in electrode positioning may change vector configuration and therefore improve screening success rates Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: SCREENING FOR THE IMPLANTATION OF A SUBCUTANEOUS IMPLANTABLE AUTOMATIC DEFIBRILLATOR: OPTIMIZATION OF THE PROCEDURE BY REPOSITIONING THE ELECTRODES AND RESEARCH OF THE PREDICTIVE FACTORS OF FAILURE

S-ICD (subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) screening failure occurs in about 10% of cases. Predictors of screening failure are not yet well determined. Moreover, slight variations in electrode positioning may change vector configuration and therefore improve screening success rates

Read the detailed description

S-ICD (subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) has become the last years widespread in various pathological conditions and implantation rates are increasing each year worldwide. Previous to implantation it is mandatory to realize a screening in order to assess specific electrocardiographic vectors used to analyze cardiac rhythm. In routine practice, approximatively 10% of patients are recused for S-ICD device implantation due to failed screening 1-3. Causes are mainly abnormalities of R wave (low or high amplitude) and low R/T wave ratio. Determinants for screening failure have not yet been clearly studied. Moreover, it is a common finding in S-ICD implantation to find variations between pre-implant electrograms and electrograms recorded by the device. Variations of R wave amplitude and R/T ration are also observed with small variations of electrode positioning prior to implantation. It has been also shown that despite initial screening failure, S-ICD could be securely performed in some cases 4,5. Patients included in the study will undergo usual screening protocol. In case of failure a 2nd screening will be realize with slight electrode positioning variations compatible with S-ICD and lead placement. In case of success modality of implantation will be decided by physician.

In case of S-ICD implantation screening data will be compared to post implantation device electrograms. A 2 month follow-up will be performed with comparison of a new screening procedure with electrodes at the level of sub-cutaneous electrodes.

What participants receive

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

  • new screening procedure with small variations in electrode positioningProcedure or surgery

    Every ICD patient will undergo the standard screening process. Initial screening will be performed as usually performed by physician or Boston Scientific technical support. In case of one or more vector satisfying screening criteria, patient will be assigned in "screening success" group. In case of failure, a pre-determined electrode positioning protocol will be done with variation of para-sternal and axillary electrodes. Positioning variations will be left to the discretion of the operator cardiologist.

What is being measured

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

  1. screening success rates

    Comparison of success rates between the standard screening procedure (without repositioning the electrodes) and the proposed new procedure (small variations in electrode positioning)

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing new screening procedure with small variations in electrode positioning in people with Sudden Cardiac Death and Implantable Defibrillator, run by Centre Hospitalier de PAU at 16 sites in France.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 10 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in France. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

screening success rates (time frame: one 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 NCT04101253, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Apr 2023.
