Trial summary

Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by prolongation of the corrected QT interval (QTc) on the electrocardiogram. LQTS is associated with a risk of syncope or sudden death from ventricular arrhythmia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Smartphone and Smartwatch Based ECG for Patients With Congenital Long QT Syndrome

Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by prolongation of the corrected QT interval (QTc) on the electrocardiogram. LQTS is associated with a risk of syncope or sudden death from ventricular arrhythmia.

The increase in the duration of the corrected QT interval and / or changes in the morphology of the T wave on the electrocardiogram are markers of an increased risk of sudden death and syncope.

Recently, a personal portable 6-lead device (DI, DII, DIII, aVF, aVL and aVR) connected to the patient's smartphone has entered the market (KARDIA MOBILE 6L, AliveCor, Mountain View, CALIFORNIA, USA). The APPLE WATCH Series 6 (Apple, Cupertino, CA, USA) can also record an ECG. If the device is designed to record a single lead (DI), several works have shown that it is possible to record 9 leads (DI, DII, DIII, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5 and V6) by moving simply the device (Spaccarotella CAS et al. JAMA Cardiology 2020).

These devices were originally designed to screen for atrial fibrillation, but they produce accurate 6- and 9-lead ECGs and could potentially allow ambulatory ECG monitoring of patients with LQTS.

What is being measured

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

  1. the duration of the QTc (ms)

    The primary outcome is the measurement of 3 data:

    • the duration of the QTc (ms). These data will be measured during the same inclusion visit with 1/ the standard 12-lead ECG machine, 2/ the KARDIA MOBILE 6L and 3/the APPLE WATCH Series 6. The data of the Kardia Mobile 6L and the Apple Watch series 6 will be compared to the data of the gold standard a 12-lead ECG.

    Measured: at the inclusion visit

  2. the morphology of the T waves (bpm).

    • the morphology of the T waves (bpm). These data will be measured during the same inclusion visit with 1/ the standard 12-lead ECG machine, 2/ the KARDIA MOBILE 6L and 3/the APPLE WATCH Series 6. The data of the Kardia Mobile 6L and the Apple Watch series 6 will be compared to the data of the gold standard a 12-lead ECG.

    Measured: at the inclusion visit

  3. the heart rate (bpm).

    • the heart rate (bpm). These data will be measured during the same inclusion visit with 1/ the standard 12-lead ECG machine, 2/ the KARDIA MOBILE 6L and 3/the APPLE WATCH Series 6. The data of the Kardia Mobile 6L and the Apple Watch series 6 will be compared to the data of the gold standard a 12-lead ECG.

    Measured: at the inclusion visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Long QT Syndrome, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site 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 6 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 7 Nov 2023. 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 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?

the duration of the QTc (ms) (time frame: at the inclusion visit). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04728100, 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 7 Nov 2023.
