About this study

Official title: Ventricular Arrhythmias Incidence According to Sleep Apnea Syndrome in ICD Patients

The purpose of this study is to report the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias correlated to the SAS and to focus on the interest of diagnosing Sleep-disorders breathing in ICD patients. This diagnosis will be assessed by an ambulatory nasal pressure recording with portable multi-channel recorder associated to a complete SAS related symptoms questionnaire.This clinical trial will be the first step to gather information about the suspected sleep relation between ventricular arrhythmias and Sleep breathing disorders, in order to improve the management and treatment of such arrhythmias in next generation of defibrillators which will integrate a minute ventilation sensor able to monitor breathing.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary objective of this study is to assess the correlation between ventricular arrhythmias and Sleep apnoea syndrome in ICD patients during a 12-month follow-up.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To determine the number of arrhythmias in the morning (between 06:00 and 12:00 AM). The circadian distribution of global arrhythmias will be presented.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. To report and compare the number of hospitalizations, mortality, and morbidity according to Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI).

    Measured: 12 months

  3. To evaluate the incidence of adverse events in the studied population: device-related adverse events with an actual or potential effect on the patient, serious adverse events not related to the device, mortality, and unanticipated adverse device effects

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ICD and CRT-D in people with Sleep Apnoea, run by LivaNova at 31 sites in 4 countries.

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 10 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 2 Jul 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 31 sites in France, Italy, Germany, Greece. 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.

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?

The primary objective of this study is to assess the correlation between ventricular arrhythmias and Sleep apnoea syndrome in ICD patients during a 12-month follow-up. (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2 Jul 2008.
