March 7, 2024 updated by: Kestra Medical Technologies, Inc.

ASSURE WCD Clinical Evaluation - Detection and Safety Study (ACE-DETECT)

A prospective multicenter single arm open label study to evaluate ambulatory detection performance, arrhythmia detection and safety of the ASSURE™ Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD).

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

A prospective multicenter single arm open label study to evaluate ambulatory detection performance, arrhythmia detection and safety of the ASSURE™ Wearable Cardioverter Defibrillator (WCD). A total of 130 adult subjects at risk for sudden cardiac arrest but otherwise protected by an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) will be enrolled at 10 clinical sites in the United States. Subjects will wear the device for approximately 30 days during normal daily activities including sleep. The WCD shock alarms and shock functionality will be disabled. Shock Alarm Event Markers are recorded by the WCD and will be used for analysis of the primary outcome measure. All episodes recorded by the ASSURE WCD and/or the subject's ICD will be reviewed by independent clinical experts.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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:

  1. Males or females, age ≥ 18 years
  2. Patients with an active Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
  3. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≤ 40%, measured within the past year (12 months) by echocardiography, nuclear imaging (including MRI), or left ventricular angiography
  4. Able and willing to provide written informed consent before undergoing any study-related procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any condition that by the judgement of the physician investigator precludes the subject's ability to comply with the study requirements, including cognitive and/or physical limitations that would prevent the subject from interacting with the device as intended
  2. Any known skin allergy or sensitivity to the study garment materials that will be next to the skin
  3. Any breached or compromised skin on the upper body that would be exacerbated by wearing the study garment
  4. Work with or are frequently around equipment that produces high electromagnetic fields, for example magnetic resonance imaging devices, power supply facilities, or welding equipment
  5. Any planned surgical or medical procedures during the participation period that would require the subject to remove the study device for more than 12 hours
  6. Any planned air travel during the participation period
  7. Pregnancy
  8. Use of mechanical circulatory support, including but not limited to Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) or Total Artificial Heart
  9. Implanted Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillator (CRT-D)
  10. Simultaneous plan/prescription for Holter monitor, mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry (MCOT), Event Recorder, or in-hospital telemetry
  11. Use of any electronic medical device that is worn on or near the body requires Sponsor approval, other than continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), continuous blood glucose monitor, or pulse oximeter oxygen saturation (SpO2) monitor.

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.
