Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • unequivocal diagnosis of HCM, on the basis of 2-dimensional echocardiographic demonstration of a hypertrophied (wall thickness >15 mm or > 13 mm in familial HOCM) and non dilated LV in the absence of another cardiac or systemic disease capable of producing the same magnitude of hypertrophy;
  • patients in whom coronary disease has been excluded;
  • presence of severe refractory symptoms (NYHA class II-IV), as evidenced by moderate-to-severe functional disability resulting from exertional dyspnea or chest pain sufficient to support a desire for alternative treatment modalities, following administration (in standard dosages) of beta-blocker and either disopyramide or verapamil, independently or in association;
  • peak instantaneous LV outflow tract gradient > 50 mm Hg (resting or provoked), estimated by continuous wave Doppler;

Who cannot join

  • end-stage phase of HCM (unless CRT therapy is considered);
  • ejection fraction <50% (unless CRT therapy is considered);
  • severe mitral valve disease (+++) not related to systolic anterior movement and/or papillary muscle abnormalities;
  • age below 18 years.

About this study

Official title: Permanent Pacing as a Treatment for Drug-refractory Symptomatic Patients With Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

The present trial is undertaken as a pilot study on selected patients, to evaluate the ability of acute hemodynamic testing to optimize pacing therapy and to predict the response of Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (OHCM) to pacing, in terms of reduction of Left Ventricular Outflow Tract (LVOT) pressure gradient and functional capacity improvement.

The Primary Objective is to demonstrate a long-term reduction in LVOT obstruction at rest and/or after Valsalva/Exercise > 30% in patients responding to acute stimulation test

Being tested
pace maker implant guided by acute hemodynamic testing
Medical subject headings
Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT05771987
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HCM patients with LVOT obstructionExperimentalPatients with obstructive HCM are considered for this study if 1) symptomatic, 2) refractory to optimized medical therapy and 3) not or poorly* eligible for septal myectomy or with an indication to implant a pacing device (pacemaker or ICD) independent on the ventricular obstruction.
Receives: Procedure: pace maker implant guided by acute hemodynamic testing

What is being measured

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

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Clinical improvement: change in NYHA class

    Improvement of NYHA class

    Measured: 6-12 months

  2. Clinical improvement: change in exercise capacity

    6-minutes walking test

    Measured: 6-12 months

  3. Clinical improvement: change in peak VO2

    Improvement in peak VO2

    Measured: 6-12 months

  4. Clinical improvement: change in NT-proBNP concentration

    Reduction in NT-proBNP concentration

    Measured: 6-12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pace maker implant guided by acute hemodynamic testing in people with Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, run by Istituto Auxologico Italiano at 1 site in Italy.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Mar 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Valeria Rella (+393491482967, v.rella@auxologico.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduction of LVOT pressure gradient (time frame: 3 months). 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 16 Mar 2023.
