About this study

Official title: Patient Directed Strategies for Cardiac Arrhythmia

In this patient engagement study, patients and partners will attend a presentation, group meeting and responding to the survey to help the research team gage the acceptability of using a biological therapy to prevent cardiac arrhythmia. Patient Partners will also help to clarify which outcomes are important to patients, to ensure the selected outcomes align with patient interests.

Read the detailed description

There will be four study groups:

  1. Heart patients who experienced a cardiac arrhythmia while in hospital,
  2. Heart patients who did not experience a cardiac arrhythmia while in hospital,
  3. Heart patients with an upcoming procedure that have not had a cardiac arrhythmia,
  4. Members of the general public.

There will be a presentation, two surveys and a team meeting. Results will be compiled and analyzed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arrythmia, run by Ottawa Heart Institute Research Corporation at 1 site 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 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 9 Apr 2024. 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 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 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?

Number of participants that would accept a biological therapy for a cardiac arrhythmia as assessed using a survey (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT05032495, 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 9 Apr 2024.
