About this study

Official title: Impact of Partial Capsule Decortication on Device-related Infection in Patients Receiving Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Replacement: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Increasing number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) have been implanted in the worldwide every year, which is accompanied by the growing number of CIED-related infection, especially in patients with CIED replacement. This multicenter, prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial is to confirm the impact of partial capsule decortication on device-related infection in patients receiving CIED replacement.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Partial capsule decorticationProcedure or surgery

    The anterior wall of the capsule was removed during the operation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of major CIED-related infection

    Infections that resulted in CIED system removal, an invasive CIED procedure (e.g., pocket revision without removal), treatment with long-term antibiotic therapy (if the patient was not a candidate for system removal) with infection recurrence after discontinuation of antibiotic therapy, or death.

    Measured: Within the first year after the operation

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Rate of minor CIED-related infection

    Infections that do not meet the definition criteria of major CIED infection.

    Measured: Within the first year after the operation

  2. Rate of all CIED-related infection

    All infections that related to CIED operation.

    Measured: Within the first year after the operation

  3. Rate of pocket hematoma

    Palpable swelling with fluctuance that extended beyond the device margin but without evidence of infection.

    Measured: Within the first year after the operation

  4. Rate of device dysfunction

    All the dysfunction of the generators and leads (including abnormal changes of pacing threshold, sensing, impedance, etc.).

    Measured: Within the first year after the operation

  5. All-cause mortality

    Death regardless of the causes.

    Measured: Within the first year after the operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Partial capsule decortication in people with Pacemaker Complication and Infections, run by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 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 China. 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?

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?

Rate of major CIED-related infection (time frame: Within the first year after the operation). 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 24 Jun 2024.
