About this study

Official title: Assessment of Safety and Effectiveness in Treatment Management of Atrial Fibrillation With the BWI IRE Ablation System (AdmIRE)

To demonstrate the safety and 12-month effectiveness of the VARIPULSE™ Catheter when used in conjunction with the TRUPULSE™ Generator for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center, clinical evaluation of the Biosense Webster IRE Ablation system to demonstrate safety and long-term effectiveness for the treatment of drug refractory symptomatic PAF. The BWI IRE Ablation System consists of the VARIPULSE™ Catheter and TRUPULSE™ Generator. In conjunction with CARTO™ 3 system, it is indicated for PVI of patients with drug refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pivotal Main Phase Modified Intent-To-Treat (mITT) Analysis Set: Number of Participants With Primary Adverse Events (PAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. PAEs included the following AEs: Phrenic Nerve Paralysis (permanent), Stroke/Cerebrovascular accident (CVA), Major Vascular Access Complication/Bleeding, Thromboembolism, Myocardial Infarction, Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), Pericarditis, Pulmonary Edema (Respiratory Insufficiency), Heart Block, and Vagal Nerve Injury/ Gastroparesis.

    Measured: From Day 0 to Day 7 post catheter insertion on Day 0

  2. Pilot Safety Analysis Set and Pivotal Roll-In Analysis Set: Number of Participants With Primary Adverse Events (PAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. PAEs included the following AEs: Phrenic Nerve Paralysis (permanent), Stroke/CVA, Major Vascular Access Complication/Bleeding, Thromboembolism, Myocardial Infarction, Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), Pericarditis, Pulmonary Edema (Respiratory Insufficiency), Heart Block, and Vagal Nerve Injury/ Gastroparesis.

    Measured: From Day 0 to Day 7 post catheter insertion on Day 0

  3. Pivotal Main Phase Per-Protocol (PP) Analysis Set: Number of Participants With Freedom of Documented Atrial Tachyarrhythmia

    Number of Participants With freedom from documented (symptomatic and asymptomatic) atrial tachyarrhythmia (atrial fibrillation [AF], atrial tachycardia [AT], or atrial flutter [AFL] of unknown origin positive) episodes based on electrocardiographic data (greater than or equal to [>=] 30 seconds on an electrocardiogram [ECG], sponsor-provided cardiac event monitor [CEM], or Holter device) during the effectiveness evaluation period (Day 91-365 post catheter insertion procedure) and freedom from the following failure modes: acute procedural failure, repeat ablation failure, non-study catheter failure, AAD failure, continuous AF/AT/AFL of unknown origin on ECG, any Direct Current Cardioversion (DCCV) procedure were reported.

    Measured: Day 91 to Day 365 post catheter insertion on Day 0

  4. Pilot Safety Analysis Set and Pivotal Roll-In Analysis Set: Number of Participants With Freedom of Documented Atrial Tachyarrhythmia

    Number of Participants With freedom from documented (symptomatic and asymptomatic) atrial tachyarrhythmia (AF, AT, or AFL of unknown origin positive) episodes based on electrocardiographic data (>=30 seconds on an ECG, CEM, or Holter device) during the effectiveness evaluation period (Day 91-365 post catheter insertion) and freedom from the following failure modes: acute procedural failure, repeat ablation failure, non-study catheter failure, AAD failure, continuous AF/AT/AFL of unknown origin on ECG, any DCCV procedure were reported.

    Measured: Day 91 to Day 365 post catheter insertion on Day 0

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pivotal Main Phase PP Analysis Set: Change From Baseline in Overall Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (AFEQT) Total Score

    Change from baseline in overall AFEQT total score were reported. Change in the AFEQT score included 20 questions on a 7-point Likert scale. Questions 1-18 evaluated Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and questions 19-20 were related to the patient's satisfaction with treatment. The first 18 questions were used to calculate the overall AFEQT score. The total AFEQT scores was calculated as 100 minus ([Sum of severity for all questions answered minus number of questions answered) divided by total number of questions answered*6])*100. The overall AFEQT scores ranged from 0 (complete disability) to 100 (no disability). Therefore, a positive change in score corresponded to improvement in QoL.

    Measured: Baseline, and 12 months post catheter insertion on Day 0

  2. Pilot Safety Analysis Set and Pivotal Roll-In Analysis Set: Change From Baseline in Overall Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (AFEQT) Total Score

    Change from baseline in overall AFEQT total score were reported. Change in the AFEQT score included 20 questions on a 7-point Likert scale. Questions 1-18 evaluated HRQoL and questions 19-20 were related to the patient's satisfaction with treatment. The first 18 questions were used to calculate the overall AFEQT score. The total AFEQT scores was calculated as 100 minus ([Sum of severity for all questions answered minus number of questions answered) divided by total number of questions answered*6])*100. The overall AFEQT scores ranged from 0 (complete disability) to 100 (no disability). Therefore, a positive change in score corresponded to improvement in QoL.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Apr 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pivotal Main Phase Modified Intent-To-Treat (mITT) Analysis Set: Number of Participants With Primary Adverse Events (PAEs) (time frame: From Day 0 to Day 7 post catheter insertion on Day 0). The study lists 4 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 NCT05293639, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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.
