Optimization of Coronary Sinus Lead Placement Targeted to the Longest Right-to-Left Delay (Opsite 2)

September 10, 2018 updated by: Michele Brignole

This study is a prospective, multi-center, physician-initiated study, with intra-center control arm of patients with advanced heart failure undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with or without defibrillator therapy.

The purpose of this study is to verify whether optimizing the left ventricular lead position at implantation with the pacing cathode corresponding to the longest RV-to-LV electrical delay may result in a better patient outcome. The RV-to-LV electrical delay will be evaluated with RLD value (ms). RLD is the distance between the Right Ventricular pacing marker (VP) and the maximum peak (or the first maximum peak in case of two equally tall peaks) of the LV bipolar deflection.

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

This study is a prospective, multi-center, physician-initiated study, with intra-center control arm of patients with advanced heart failure undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with or without defibrillator therapy.

Approximately 300 patients will be included in the study and followed-up for 6 months. Patients recruitment will consist of two sequential phases:

Phase 1 - Conventional CS lead placement (Conventional subgroup). The first 100 patients will be implanted with a CRT device with or without defibrillator (P/D) as per standard clinical practice, without CS lead pacing specific optimization. In these patients RLD is measured blind to implanting physician who will place CS lead according to his/her clinical practice. Since these patients follow strictly standard clinical practice, their implantation data can be collected prospectively or even retrospectively when available.

Phase 2 - Targeted CS lead placement (RLD subgroup). In the second 200 patients CS placement will be guided by RLD measurement. Physician will place the CS lead in the site of longest RLD with a stable and acceptable pacing threshold.

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.
