Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • At least 18 years of age
  • Cardiac dysfunction due to failure-to-wean from cardiopulmonary bypass
  • Subjects who are on IABP, CPB, ECMO or CPS support prior to evaluation should have the device turned off, if possible, for the purpose of measuring inclusion hemodynamics. However, these devices should not be turned off in patients who would be harmed by interruption of support.
  • All subjects must meet the following criteria at the time of enrollment:
  • Hemodynamics:
  • cardiac index ≤ 2.2 L/min/m2
Show all 13Show fewer
  • For patients being evaluated for left-sided support (LVAD): PCWP ≥ 18 mmHg or PADP ≥ 18 mmHg or LAP ≥ 18 mmHg
  • For patients being evaluated for right or biventricular support: CVP ≥ 15 mmHg or RAP ≥ 15 mmHg and RVSWI ≤ 4.1 gm/m2/beat
  • Enrollment without hemodynamic measurements due to frequent or unpredictable dysrhythmias, unacceptable cardiac function, or hemodynamic instability is allowed.
  • Placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump has been attempted unless contraindicated
  • All possible measures have been attempted to correct low arterial pH, arterial blood gas abnormalities, electrolytes, hypovolemia, hypervolemia, inadequate cardiac rate, dysrhythmias and residual hypothermia
  • Cardiac resuscitation using pharmacologic agents, and epicardial pacing (if appropriate and possible) has been attempted
  • Written, signed, and dated informed consent

Who cannot join

  • BUN > 100 mg/dl
  • Creatinine > 5 mg/dl
  • Presence of any investigational mechanical circulatory support device
  • Known history of liver cirrhosis or portal hypertension
  • Pulmonary infarction
  • Stroke, TIA or history of either condition within the last six months and/or any confirmed, existing neurologic deficits
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Active systemic infection defined as positive blood cultures, core temperature >100.5 degrees, white blood count > 12,500, and treatment with antimicrobials
  • Participation in a clinical trial with any experimental treatment within 30 days prior to screening or previous participation in the present study
  • Other serious disease(s) limiting life expectancy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CentriMag Ventricular Assist SystemDevice

    All eligible subjects will receive the CentriMag Ventricular Assist System. The system is comprised of a single-use centrifugal blood pump, a motor, a primary drive console, a back up drive console and cannulae. Blood from the failing heart is directed from the ventricle or the atrium to the inlet of the pump via an inlet cannula. Blood exits through the outlet port of the pump through the outlet cannula ultimately to the pulmonary or systemic circulation. The system can be used in either a right, left or biventricular configuration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival

    Number of patients alive 30 days after device implantation

    Measured: 30 days post-support or to hospital discharge, whichever is longer OR to induction of anesthesia for implantation of a long-term device or heart transplant

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Improvement in Central Venous Pressure (CVP) and Mean Arterial Blood Pressure (MAP)

    Change in mean CVP while on pump support and in MAP during pump support. CVP and MAP were measured daily during pump support and the mean CVP and MAP during pump support were compared to baseline. Mean CVP or MAP during support (up to 30 days) minus baseline CVP or MAP.

    Measured: Mean CVP or MAP during support (up to 30 days) minus baseline CVP or MAP

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CentriMag Ventricular Assist System in people with Heart Failure, run by Abbott Medical Devices at 14 sites in United States.

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 13 inclusion and 9 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 27 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Feb 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Survival (time frame: 30 days post-support or to hospital discharge, whichever is longer OR to induction of anesthesia for implantation of a long-term device or heart transplant). 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 27 Jun 2022.
