About this study

Official title: Advisa MRI™ System Clinical Investigation

The purpose of the Advisa MRI System clinical study is to confirm safety and effectiveness in the clinical MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) environment when subjects receive MRI scans up to 2W/kg Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) without positioning restrictions (MRI scans may occur anywhere on the body including the chest).

Read the detailed description

The Advisa MRI IPG is a dual chamber, multi-programmable IPG. The IPG is indicated to restore heart rates, improve cardiac output, prevent symptoms, or protect against arrhythmias related to cardiac impulse formation or conduction disorders. The IPG is indicated for use in patients who may benefit from rate-responsive pacing to support cardiac output during varying levels of activity and has been modified for use during an MRI exam.

Subjects will have required follow-up visits after implant, at 2 months, 9-12 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 6 months and every 6 months thereafter until the study ends. The MR scans will occur at the 9-12 weeks visit.

What participants receive

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

  • Medtronic Advisa MRI Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG)Device

    Also called Model A2DR01, Model A3DR01

    Advisa MRI IPG is a dual chamber, multi-programmable IPG indicated to restore heart rates, improve cardiac output, prevent symptoms, or protect against arrhythmias related to cardiac impulse formation or conduction disorders. The IPG is indicated for use in patients who may benefit from rate-responsive pacing to support cardiac output during varying levels of activity and has been modified for use during an MRI exam.

  • Medtronic CapSureFix MRI™ active fixation MRI leadDevice

    Also called Model 5086 MRI lead

    The Medtronic CapSureFix MRI™ active fixation MRI lead is a transvenous, bipolar, silicone, steroid eluting and active fixation pacing lead. It is based on the commercially available Medtronic Model 5076 lead and has been modified for use in the MRI environment. The MRI lead is used for both atrial and ventricular applications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-Related Complications

    For each subject in this objective, the endpoint was the occurrence of an MRI-related complication within 30 days post-MRI. An independent Adverse Event Advisory Committee (AEAC) determined whether each adverse event was a complication and whether it was MRI-related.

    Measured: MRI scan to one-month post-MRI scan

  2. Atrial Pacing Capture Threshold Success

    Subjects' atrial pacing capture threshold was measured at the 9-12 week visit (pre-MRI/waiting period) and the 4-month visit (i.e. one month post-MRI/waiting period). A success was when a subject experienced an increase less than or equal to 0.5V (volts) between the two visits.

    Measured: Pre-MRI/waiting period to one month post-MRI/waiting period

  3. Ventricular Pacing Capture Threshold Success

    Subjects' ventricular pacing capture threshold was measured at the 9-12 week visit (pre-MRI/waiting period) and the 4-month visit (i.e. one month post-MRI/waiting period). A success was when a subject experienced an increase less than or equal to 0.5V (volts) between the two visits.

    Measured: Pre-MRI /waiting period to 1-month post-MRI/waiting period

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Atrial Sensed Amplitude Success

    Subjects' atrial sensed amplitude was measured at the 9-12 week visit (pre-MRI/waiting period) and the 4-month visit (i.e. one month post-MRI/waiting period). A success was defined as a 50% or less decrease in atrial sensed amplitude between the two visits.

    Measured: Pre-MRI /waiting period to 1-month post-MRI/waiting period

  2. Ventricular Sensed Amplitude Success

    Subjects' ventricular sensed amplitude was measured at the 9-12 week visit (pre-MRI/waiting period) and the 4-month visit (i.e. one month post-MRI/waiting period). A success was defined as a 50% or less decrease in ventricular sensed amplitude between the two visits.

    Measured: Pre-MRI /waiting period to 1-month post-MRI/waiting period

  3. Occurrence of Sustained Ventricular Arrhythmias and Asystole During MRI Scans.

    The endpoint was the occurrence of sustained ventricular arrhythmias and asystole during MRI scans and attributable to the MR scan. Sustained ventricular arrhythmias or asystole episodes that occurred during the MRI scan was considered attributable to the MR scan if so adjudicated by the AEAC.

    Measured: During MRI scans

  4. System-related Complications

    Subjects with a complication related to the implanted system, which consisted of the pacemaker, leads to the right chambers of the heart (atrium and ventricle), pacemaker software, and programmer. All adverse events in the time frame were recorded at the subject's center and assessed the AEAC. The AEAC determined whether each adverse event was a complication (requiring invasive intervention), and whether the event was related to the system.

    Measured: Implant to four months post implant

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 37 sites in United States, Australia, Netherlands, France, Germany and 8 more countries. 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 4 Apr 2013). 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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-Related Complications (time frame: MRI scan to one-month post-MRI scan). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01110915, which also lists 2 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.
