About this study

The PASS PULL EV-ICD Study is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study without concurrent or historical controls. This initial concept feasibility study is primarily intended to demonstrate that the EV-ICD Lead can be safely positioned within the anterior mediastinum as intended using the AtaCor delivery system. The study will secondarily characterize the ability for the EV-ICD Lead to facilitate VF sensing and defibrillation.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate that the AtaCor EV-ICD Lead can be safely positioned within the anterior mediastinum as intended using the EV-ICD Dilator and EV-ICD Delivery Tool. The study will secondarily characterize the ability for the EV-ICD Lead to facilitate VF sensing and defibrillation.

Up to 3 Investigational Sites will participate with up to 65 subjects enrolled in the study. Patients undergoing de novo or replacement ICD procedure will be eligible for participation. Study participation requires acute evaluation of the EV-ICD Lead during the index procedure. Echocardiography will be used to evaluate any new or worsening pericardial effusions. A follow-up visit will occur 7-10 days post-removal via phone, video call, or in-person. Participation will end after completion of the 7-10 days post-removal visit. The Study is expected to last up to 3 months for enrollment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of SADEs

    Incidence of Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADEs)

    Measured: Up to 10 days post-procedure

  2. Rate of Insertion Success

    Defined as the ability to deploy the lead in a position within the mediastinum that is suitable for defibrillation testing and does not result in one (1) or more SADEs

    Measured: Procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Functionality - Lowest Defibrillation Conversion Energy

    Lowest Defibrillation Conversion Energy (J)

    Measured: Procedure

  2. Observational: Incidence of ADEs

    Incidence of Adverse Device Effects (ADEs), Overall and Individual

    Measured: Up to 10 days post-procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AtaCor EV-ICD Lead in people with Ventricular Arrhythmia and Ventricular Tachycardia, run by AtaCor Medical, Inc. at 1 site in Paraguay.

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 2 inclusion and 21 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 8 Jul 2022. 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 Paraguay. 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?

Incidence of SADEs (time frame: Up to 10 days post-procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Jul 2022.
