About this study

Official title: Remon CHF Medical Device Clinical Investigation PAPIRUS II: Monitoring Pulmonary Artery Pressure by Implantable Device Responding to Ultrasonic Signal

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and document appropriate clinical safety and performance of the Remon CHF Implantable Pressure Sensor including the corresponding delivery system, the Remon CHF Home Unit, the Remon CHF Clinic System devices and associated application software. It is a small clinical trial to determine the feasibility of the device. The primary outcome measure relates to feasibility and not to health outcomes.

Read the detailed description

This study was a prospective feasibility, non-randomised, singlearm, multi-centre, interventional clinical investigation performed at 4 international sites. Patients were implanted with the Remon CHF Implantable Pressure Sensor utilizing the corresponding delivering system. Measurements were taken with the Remon CHF Home Unit and the Remon CHF Clinic System. Follow-up visits took place at one, three and six months after implant.

Per protocol, a minimum of 30 patients was required to demonstrate safety of the device.

The study was conducted in accordance with ISO 14155:2003 (parts I and II), the Declaration of Helsinki and all applicable local and national regulations in the countries of submission.

Receives: Device: Implant of Pressure sensor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serious adverse events related to implantation or the device

    Primary Device Safety Objective: Serious Adverse Device Effects rate during 6 months following implantation (device or delivery system related) and Implantation related Serious Adverse Events rate during 6 months following implantation

    Measured: 6

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Device accuracy

    Compare accuracy of Remon Pressure Sensor with Millar catheter (invasive way of measuring pulmonary artery pressure).

    Secondary end points included accuracy of the measured PA pressure, functionality of the system and evaluation of pressure readings at different postures.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Implant of Pressure sensor. in people with Heart Failure, 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 17 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 17 Feb 2017. 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.

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?

Serious adverse events related to implantation or the device (time frame: 6). 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 NCT00604903, 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 17 Feb 2017.
