About this study

Official title: Arrhythmia Burden in Patients With Impulse Dynamics Optimizer Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) Device Implantation: Retrospective and Prospective Evaluation

The Impulse Dynamics Optimizer Device is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved; commercially available device indicated for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Many candidates of this device have a previously implanted cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED)- internal cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or permanent pacemaker (PM). Patients with heart failure are at high risk for both atrial and ventricular cardiac arrhythmias.

The aim of this study is to evaluate patients for Atrial fibrillation (AF) burden episode data obtained from interrogation of their CIED 8 months or greater after Optimizer implant and compare arrhythmia burden 6 months before Optimizer Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) device insertion to 8 months or greater after Optimizer insertion (after 2 month blanking period).

What participants receive

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

  • Impulse Dynamics Optimizer DeviceDevice

    The Impulse Dynamics Optimizer is indicated for patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III congestive heart failure (CHF) with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between 25 and 45% who are not candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy. The Optimizer device requires a minimally invasive implant by a cardiac electrophysiologist with two transvenous pacemaker wires implanted into the right ventricular septum and attached to a generator in an infraclavicular region, much like a pacemaker. The Optimizer device provides CCM through improved calcium handling and has been shown to reverse the negative remodeling of the left ventricle seen in HFrEF and improve left ventricular contractile strength.

What is being measured

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

    Compare the AF burden noted 6 months pre Optimizer implant to 6 post Optimizer months (post Optimizer months 3-8), after 2 month blanking period

    Measured: 8 months post optimizer implantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation and Arrythmia, run by Hackensack Meridian Health at 1 site in United States.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Aug 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 United States. 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.

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?

Change in Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Burden (time frame: 8 months post optimizer implantation). 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 NCT05704426, which also lists 7 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.

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 19 Aug 2024.
