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

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. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Cryoablation
Subjects diagnosed with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and treated by cryoablation with Freezor Xtra.
Device: Freezor Xtra Cryoablation Catheter
Freezor® Xtra Cardiac CryoAblation applied for cryoablation of the conducting tissues of the heart in the treatment of patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia using an endocardial approach.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Chronic Effectiveness (Through 6 Months) of the Freezor Xtra Catheter for the Treatment of AVNRT Using an Endocardial Approach.
Time Frame: 6 months

Subjects must have met both of the following acute and chronic conditions to be considered a chronic effectiveness (treatment) success:

  • Acute Success: The inability to induce more than one echo beat by the same pacing maneuvers that induced AVNRT before cryoablation (with drug provocation if required for induction before cryoablation) at the conclusion of the study cryoablation procedure assessment.
  • Chronic Success: Lack of documented recurrence of clinical AVNRT during the 6-month follow-up period after the study cryoablation procedure.
6 months
Chronic Safety (Through 6 Months) of the Freezor Xtra Catheter When Used for the Treatment of AVNRT Using an Endocardial Approach.
Time Frame: 6 Months
Subjects who had at least one safety event during or after their cryoablation procedure or through 6 months of follow-up are considered a primary (chronic) safety failure. A safety event is defined as the occurrence of any adverse event that is adjudicated by the AE Adjudication Committee as being serious and study ablation procedure-related and/or Freezor Xtra Catheter related that: 1) Resulted in death, 2) Resulted in a life-threatening illness or injury, 3) Resulted in permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure, 4) Necessitated significant intervention, such as major surgery or even intravenous medical therapy (e.g., vasopressors), to prevent permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure, or 5) Required in-patient hospitalization or a prolongation of an existing hospital stay.
6 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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Chronic Effectiveness (Through 6 Months) of the Freezor Xtra Catheter for the Treatment of AVNRT in Subjects Who Achieved Acute Procedural Success.
Time Frame: 6 Months
If there was no documented evidence of AVNRT recurrence in the post-procedure 6-month follow-up period, the subject is counted as a chronic effectiveness success. The AE Adjudication Committee adjudication of AVNRT recurrence is used to classify subjects for this endpoint.
