About this study

Official title: Acute Intra-operative Testing of Subcutaneous Implantable Defibrillator Emulator and Parasternal Electrode, Acutely Implanted, for Comparison With Transvenous System

The purpose is to further evaluate the operation, safety, and feasibility of a subcutaneous implantable defibrillator (S-ICD) system in patients who require an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)for treating ventricular tachyarrhythmias. The S-ICD electrode and pulse generator emulator will be briefly implanted and tested during the standard implantation procedure of an ICD, but then the S-ICD system will be removed entirely.

Read the detailed description

The objectives of this study are to further evaluate the S-ICD system's ability to identify and terminate induced ventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients acutely with an S-ICD emulator and parasternal electrode during the implant procedure of a standard transvenous ICD.

The active emulator is not a powered medical device and all elements of the test system are removed following the testing.

This acute intra-operative protocol will test the ability of the electrode and emulator to appropriately convert the arrhythmia and allos an assessment of post shock pacing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ventricular Fibrillation and Ventricular Tachycardia, run by Boston Scientific Corporation at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 inclusion and 7 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 16 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00399217, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Feb 2017.
