Efficiency Study of Triple-Site Cardiac Resynchronization in Patients With Heart Failure (TRUST CRT)

April 12, 2016 updated by: Radoslaw Lenarczyk, Silesian Centre for Heart Diseases

Triple-Site Versus Standard Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (TRUST CRT) Randomized Trial

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficiency of permanent biventricular pacing using three ventricular leads in terms of reduction in adverse cardiac events rates, improvement in cardiac capacity and patients' functional status in subjects with congestive heart failure and a physiologic (sinus) rhythm.

Study Overview

Status

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

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.

Active Comparator: Triple-site group
Triple-site resynchronization group

Two left ventricular leads connected with Y-connector (Lead Adaptor 2827, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA)
Active Comparator: Standard resynchronization group
Standard (double-site) resynchronization group
Device: Cardiac resynchronization pacemaker (InSync Sentry or Concerto, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN,USA) with two intracardiac leads

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Combined end-point of alive status, freedom from hospitalization for HF or heart transplantation, relative ≥10% increase in LV ejection fraction, ≥10% in VO2max and ≥10% in 6MWD.
Time Frame: six months
six months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
The occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (hospitalization for exacerbated HF requiring modification of pharmacotherapy, heart transplant or death).
Time Frame: five years
five years
