Evaluation Of New Onset Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation

July 19, 2023 updated by: Aziyo Biologics, Inc.

Prospective, Randomized Evaluation of New Onset Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Subjects Receiving the CorMatrix® ECM® for Pericardial Closure

This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized and controlled clinical trial comparing the safety and efficacy of the CorMatrix ECM for Pericardial Closure to reduce the incidence of new onset postoperative atrial fibrillation by circumferentially reconstructing the normal pericardial anatomy following isolated, first-time, CABG procedures compared to subjects that do not undergo pericardial closure. This trial will be conducted at up to 20 clinical sites in the U.S.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

The objective of this prospective clinical trial is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the CorMatrix ECM for Pericardial Closure to reduce the incidence of new onset postoperative atrial fibrillation by circumferentially reconstructing the normal pericardial anatomy following isolated, first-time, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures as compared to subjects who did not undergo pericardial closure. Safety will be established by demonstrating that the composite clinical event rate for the ECM treatment group is not worse than the control group that did not undergo pericardial closure. The efficacy will be established by demonstrating a reduced incidence of new onset postoperative atrial fibrillation in the ECM treatment group as compared to the control group.

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

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The subject is 18 years of age or older
  • This cardiac operation is the subject's first or primary cardiac operation
  • The subject must be undergoing an isolated CABG procedure using a median sternotomy approach
  • The subject must possess the ability to provide written Informed Consent
  • The subject must express a willingness to fulfill all of the expected requirements of this clinical protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior history of atrial fibrillation
  • Prior history of open heart surgery
  • Prior history of pericarditis
  • Prior history of anti-arrhythmia drug treatment (e.g., amiodarone, dronedarone or sotalol) in the past six months
  • The subject has an implantable cardiac device (i.e., cardiac resynchronization therapy devices with and without defibrillator capabilities (CRTs and CRT-Ds), implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) and pacemakers)
  • Concomitant procedure planned
  • In the investigator's opinion, the subject may require prophylactic treatment with anti-arrhythmia drugs or temporary pacing postoperatively
