Mitral Insufficiency Reduction With Biventricular Pacing (MiRBi)

December 1, 2010 updated by: Trinity Medical Center, Illinois

Prospective.Randomized, Blinded, Crossover Chronic IDE Study of the Effects of Pacing on Mitral Regurgitation in Patients Without Standard Indications for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

The purpose of this study is to show that CRT(Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy) pacing in patients with severe functional MR (Mitral Regurgitation) who are not currently indicated for CRT will demonstrate chronic benefit of MR reduction( via echo measured MR/LA area and ERO per American Society of ECHO guidelines) and to show that CRT pacing is safe in these patients.

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

Approximately 50 patients will be randomized, followed and analyzed in this prospective study. Patients who meet all inclusion and no exclusion criteria will be enrolled and implanted with a CRT system. Baseline evaluation, which includes clinical symptom evaluation and an echocardiogram, will be performed at the time of randomization, which should occur as soon after device implant as possible but no later than 2 week post -implant. The baseline echocardiogram should be acquired prior to the device being programmed to the randomized setting. Repeat echocardiograms and scheduled follow-up evaluations will be performed at the end of each 3 month crossover period.

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.

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.

Other: CRT ON
After implant, patients will be randomized to CRT pacing ON vs OFF in crossover fashion with 3 months in each period
Device: CRT pacing
The chronic effect of CRT pacing on the degree of MR in pts with severe-to-moderate or severe functional MR. The treatment being studied is CRT pacing therapy with standard of care LV lead placement. Patients will be randomized to CRT pacing ON vs. OFF and followed for a total of up to 8 months. This includes two 3-month crossover periods for each pacing modality (CRT ON and CRT OFF) and a 6-week washout period between these periods.

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.

Measure Description
Time Frame
Chronic(8 months post-implant) benefit of MR reduction
Time Frame: Chronic
To show that CRT pacing in patients with severe functional MR who are not currently indicated for CRT will demonstrate chronic(8 months post-implant) benefit of MR reduction (via echo measured MR/LA area and ERO per American Society of Echo guidelines)
Chronic

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
To compare MR Severity (ERO and MR/LA area), heart volume and dimensions via echo and clinical symptoms between two pacing modalities
Time Frame: Chronic
Secondary objectives will compare MR severity (ERO and MR/LA area), heart volume and dimensions via echo (LA and LV), LVEF via echo (Simpson's method and clinical sypmtoms (NYHA class, QOL, 6MHW distance) between the two pacing modalities (CRT ON and OFF)
