Clinical Evaluation of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Using the Ovatio CRT Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) System

November 26, 2013 updated by: ELA Medical, Inc.

Clinical Evaluation of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy With Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator Therapy

This study provides a continued access registry for cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillation (CRT-D), which helps to resynchronize (coordinate) the rhythm of the heart by helping the left ventricle contract (pump blood) more uniformly, in patients with severe heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] Class III or IV).

Quality of life, adverse events and device success will be analyzed and reported.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Approved for marketing

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

ICDs have been shown to increase life expectancy substantially over various drug regimens in patients with life threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Furthermore, large scale studies of cardiac resynchronization therapy in ICD-indicated heart failure patients have demonstrated improvements in functional capacity and quality of life, without unacceptable increases in morbidity or mortality.

This study provides a continued access registry for cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillation (CRT-D), which helps to resynchronize (coordinate) the rhythm of the heart by helping the left ventricle contract (pump blood) more uniformly, in patients with severe heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV).

Quality of life, adverse events and device success will be analyzed and reported.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Expanded Access

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Accepted indication for ICD implant
  • Severe heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV) at the time of enrollment
  • May have pre-existing ICD, provided subject is on stable, optimal medical regime
  • Sinus rhythm with spontaneous QRS duration greater than or equal to 150 ms, or a QRS duration greater than or equal to 130 ms with an inter-ventricular mechanical delay (IVMD) greater than or equal to 40 ms
  • Left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 35% or less

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any generally accepted indication for standard cardiac pacing, or any contraindication for standard cardiac pacing
  • Any contraindication for ICD therapy
  • Currently implanted with a lead positioned in or through the coronary sinus
  • Hypertrophic or obstructive cardiomyopathy
  • Acute myocarditis
  • Unstable coronary symptoms (unstable angina or myocardial infarction) within the last month
  • Recent or planned cardiac revascularization or coronary angioplasty
  • Correctable valvular disease that is the primary cause of heart failure
  • Mechanical tricuspid valve
  • Chronic atrial arrhythmia or cardioversion for atrial fibrillation within the past month, or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation requiring new pharmacologic therapy within the past month
  • Systolic blood pressure consistently above 170 mmHg or consistently below 80 mmHg
  • Supine resting heart rate exceeding 100 bpm
  • Receiving continuous IV infusion of positive inotropic therapy or intermittent therapy (IV infusion) more than twice per week
  • Heart transplant recipient
  • Primary pulmonary disease of a severity that might limit the patient's ability to perform a treadmill test
  • Serum creatinine above 3.0 mg/dL
  • Serum hepatic functions at or above three times the upper normal limit
  • Cerebrovascular event within the previous three months
  • Inability to walk or other physical impediments which might prevent the patient from completing a maximum, symptom-limited treadmill test
  • Age of less than 18 years
  • Pregnancy

Study Registration Dates

First Submitted

First Submitted

The date on which the study sponsor or investigator first submitted a study record to ClinicalTrials.gov. There is typically a delay of a few days between the first submitted date and the record's availability on ClinicalTrials.gov (the first posted date).

First Submitted That Met QC Criteria

First Submitted That Met QC Criteria

The date on which the study sponsor or investigator first submits a study record that is consistent with National Library of Medicine (NLM) quality control (QC) review criteria. The sponsor or investigator may need to revise and submit a study record one or more times before NLM's QC review criteria are met. It is the responsibility of the sponsor or investigator to ensure that the study record is consistent with the NLM QC review criteria.
