About this study

Official title: Inhibition of Unnecessary RV Pacing With AV Search Hysteresis in ICDs

INTRINSIC RV is a two-armed randomized trial that will compare the effects of innovative dual-chamber pacing with AV Search Hysteresis to standard VVI among ICD patients.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of study is to assess whether AVSH will provide benefits of a dual-chamber ICD without the deleterious effects of unnecessary RV pacing. This study will aim to demonstrate that DDDR-AVSH is equal to VVI with respect to mortality and HF hospitalizations.

Conditions
Tachycardia
Being tested
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
Keywords
right ventricular pacing, implantable cardioverter defibrillator

  • Implantable Cardioverter DefibrillatorDevice

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Demonstrate that DDDR-AVSH is as effective as VVI with respect to the composite endpoint of death or heart failure hospitalizations.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The following variables will be compared between patients who are randomized to either DDDR-AVSH or VVI:

  2. The prevalence of atrial fibrillation, Changes in medication dosage, including beta-blocker, anti-arrhythmic and coumadin medications, Programming changes, Quality of life

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator in people with Tachycardia, run by Boston Scientific Corporation.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Demonstrate that DDDR-AVSH is as effective as VVI with respect to the composite endpoint of death or heart failure hospitalizations.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00148967, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Nov 2006.
