A multicenter observational study designed specifically to collect data on the safety of sport activities in patients with implanted S-ICD systems.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
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

Observational multicenter study with prospective follow-up but accepting also retrospectively collected data. Data will be collected and entered in a secure dedicated web-based database.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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

10 years to 60 years (Child, Adult)

Probability Sample

Study Population

patients with an implanted S-ICD as their first implanted device, who continue to exercise regularly and actively participate in competitive or recreational sports with a sport-intensity above a predefined level

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient (male or female) is <60 years of age.
  2. Patient has an implanted with a new-generation S-ICD [Boston Scientific EMBLEM, Generations 2 (model A209), 3 (A219) or newer].
  3. Present device is the first defibrillator implanted.
  4. Patient has a functioning LATITUDE™ Home-Monitoring-System at home, knows how to use it and sends weekly reports via the home-monitoring system.
  5. Patient actively participates in sport activities above a predefined level of exercise (see below).
  6. Patient understands that, at present, there is virtually no data on the safety of sport participation for patients with implanted S-ICD system, particularly regarding potential damage caused by sport activities to the S-ICD system, including the subcutaneous electrode.
  7. Patient understands that the level of sport activity, type of sport and frequency of exercise activities are entirely at his/her own discretion and responsibility.
  8. Patient understands that The Sport S-ICD Study investigator neither encourage nor discourage performance of any given sport.
  9. Patient understands that The Sport S-ICD Study is not liable for- and does assume any responsibility for any damages caused by sport participation to the implanted system or the health of patients participating in the study.

  10. Patient is willing to provide informed consent to participate in the SPORT S-ICD Study. Informed consent includes agreement to provide all the following information:

    1. Clinical data (age, gender, clinical diagnosis, indication for S-ICD implantation, arrhythmic events since S-ICD implantation, adverse events since S-ICD implantation)
    2. Type and level of exercise and sport participation at the time of inclusion and during follow-up.
    3. Information concerning endpoint events during follow-up.
    4. Direct access to the patients' LATITUDE™ Home-Monitoring-System data, both at the time of inclusion and all weekly reports during the follow-up period, until the study ends or the informed consent is revoked. Access to the personal LATITUDE™ Home-Monitoring-System data is in addition to the access by the primary treating physician and only for purpose of data collection for the study. Consent from the patient AND for the primary treating physician (monitoring the patient's LATITUDE data) are required. Once the study ends, participating patients will be notified that the Study Investigators are no longer monitoring his/her LATITUDE Home-Monitoring-System.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects with an inability to communicate well with the investigators.
  2. Subjects who are non-cooperative or unwilling to sign consent form.
  3. Evidence suggestive of malfunction of the implanted S-ICD system (like abnormal impedance or detected noise) at the time of screening

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
Tachyarrhythmia-related death or externally resuscitated cardiac arrest due to S-ICD
Time Frame: 5 years
Quantitative data will be reported by S-ICD interrogation including shock failure, incessant ventricular arrhythmia, or post-shock pulseless electrical activity.
5 years

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
S-ICD Lead fracture/malfunction
Time Frame: 5 years
Noise/impedance will be reported by S-ICD interrogation
5 years

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
February 1, 2023

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. 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.
January 1, 2026

Study Completion (Anticipated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
