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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with CAD and cardiac arrest due to VF/VT, where angiogram is performed with complete revascularization (PCI, CABG or hybrid coronary revascularization) before ICD implantation. Unfavorable artery for PCI (i.e., excessive vessel tortuosity or chronic total occlusion) or high-risk invasive treatment is not mandatory in order to achive complete revascularization.
  • Age ≥18 years
  • LVEF >35% at the time of discharge. The most recent LVEF assessment on which the current medical treatment will be based at the time of entry into the study will be used as baseline LVEF.

Who cannot join

  • Non-ischemic cause of cardiac arrest (i.e. ion channel diseases, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy)
  • Previous CABG within the last 3 months before index hospitalization
  • Life expectancy less than 1 year or severe neurologic outcome
  • Unable or unwilling to give informed consent
  • Pregnancy

About this study

Official title: A Danish Study to Assess the Efficacy of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease Resuscitated from Ventricular Fibrillation Who Receive Complete Revascularization

DanICD is a randomized, controlled study to with the aim to assess whether there is a benefit of ICD-implantation in patients with coronary artery disease (including acute myocardial infarction), who survive cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation/sustained ventricular tachycardia and undergo revascularization and with an LVEF above 35%.

What is being measured

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

  1. All-cause mortality

    The clinical event committee will aim to attribute the cause of death to the underlying disease process rather than the immediate mechanism. Mortality will be classified as cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. All cause mortality

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Sudden cardiovascular death

    Cardiovascular death fulfilling the following criteria:

    • In witnessed cases a change in cardiovascular status with time until death being <1 hour.
    • In unwitnessed cases <24 hours since last seen alive and functioning normal.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Cardiovascular death

    Mortality is considered as cardiovascular unless it is clearly attributable to another cause and thus includes:

    • Death due to proximate cardiac cause (e.g. myocardial infarction, cardiac tamponade, worsening heart failure).
    • Death caused by non-coronary vascular conditions such as neurological events, pulmonary embolism, ruptured aortic aneurysm, dissecting aneurysm, or other vascular disease.
    • All procedure-related deaths, including those related to a complication of the ICD-procedure or treatment for a complication of the procedure.
    • All valve-related deaths including structural or non-structural valve dysfunction or other valve-related adverse events.
    • Death of unknown or cardiac cause.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Implantable cardioverter defibrillator in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2025. 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 Denmark. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Reza Jabbari, MD, PhD (+4535455380, reza.jabbari.02@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

All-cause mortality (time frame: 5 years). 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 27 Jan 2025.
