European TauroPace Registry - University of Schleswig-Holstein Prospective Observational Clinical Study (ETPR)

April 27, 2026 updated by: Prof. Dr. Hendrik Bonnemeier, University of Kiel
University of Schleswig-Holstein Campus Kiel is sponsoring the European TauroPace Registry. This investigator-initiated local, prospective, non-interventional, multi-center study includes patients undergoing cardiac implantable electronic placement including and not limited to placement, revision with the aim to upgrade or downgrade, generator substitution, additional lead placement, revision or extraction (procedure) with adjunct TauroPace. It is planned to include a total of at least 2300 procedures (valid for safety analysis).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

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 performed as an all-case investigation. The treatment is performed based on the SOPs (Appendix Study Protocol). The standard observation period is 3 months from the 1st treatment. Safety and effectiveness are evaluated at 3rd and 12th month. In addition, the extension observation is carried out once a year for 3 years at the longest to collect information on safety and effectiveness as long as CIED treatment continues. When the treatment ends (extraction of all hardware), observation of a patient ends. For each patient, the investigator records data as defined in the protocol at each evaluation point by using a unique Case Report Form (CRF) system. The duration of the study is estimated at 10 years (registry).

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

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population consist of every subsequent participant eligible for any CIED related surgery with TauroPace™

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Use of TauroPace™ is indicated and not contra-indicated according to its current Instructions For Use (IFU)
  • Participant is eligible for a CIED related surgery procedure.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age<18years
  • Participant incapable of signing Patient Informed Consent (mentally or physically) or does not sign.

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
CIED infections
Time Frame: three months
CIED infections occurring in an observation period of three months after any CIED related surgical procedure in different CIED using a regimen with surface disinfection of CIEDs and irrigation of the surgical site (pocket) with a taurolidine containing antimicrobial compound adjunct.
three 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
CIED infections
Time Frame: 12 months
CIED infections occurring in an observation period of 12 months after any CIED related surgical procedure in different CIED using a regimen with surface disinfection of CIEDs and irrigation of the surgical site (pocket) with a taurolidine containing antimicrobial compound adjunct.
12 months
CIED infections
Time Frame: 36 months
CIED infections occurring in an observation period of 36 months after any CIED related surgical procedure in different CIED using a regimen with surface disinfection of CIEDs and irrigation of the surgical site (pocket) with a taurolidine containing antimicrobial compound adjunct.

For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
