Trial summary

Suboptimal optimization of atrio-ventricular (AV) and inter-ventricular (VV) timings could affect the clinical response of CRTd in T2DM patients. Thus, authors hypothesize that automatic sensor guided CRTd optimization could ameliorate clinical outcomes in patients with T2DM. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Optimization of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy and Its Effects in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Automatic Optimization vs. Echocardiographic Guided Optimization.

Suboptimal optimization of atrio-ventricular (AV) and inter-ventricular (VV) timings could affect the clinical response of CRTd in T2DM patients. Thus, authors hypothesize that automatic sensor guided CRTd optimization could ameliorate clinical outcomes in patients with T2DM. However, authors will evaluate the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRTd) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) optimized via automatic vs. echocardiographic guided approach.Authors will conduct a prospective, multicenter study to recruit, from October 2016 to June 2019, patients with T2DM and heart failure (HF) candidate to receive a CRTd. After CRTd the patients will be optimized via automatic vs. echocardiographic guided approach.

What participants receive

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

  • echocardiographic optimization of CRTdOther

    the patients after the implant of CRTd and during the follow-up will receive an echocardiography to optimize the atrio-ventricular and inter-ventricular delay, and to improve the effects of CRTd.

What is being measured

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

  1. CRTd responders rate

    The authors will evaluate the CRTd responders rate in terms of patients that will experience the reduction of NYHA class, improvement of HF symptoms, and improvement of left ventricle ejection fraction.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure and Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction, run by University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 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 14 Sep 2020. 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 Italy. 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?

CRTd responders rate (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT04547244, 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 14 Sep 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
