About this study

Official title: Master Study for the MRI Compatibility of the EVIA/ENTOVIS Pacemaker in Combination With Safio S Pacemaker Lead

This investigation is designed to demonstrate the clinical safety of the EVIA/ ENTOVIS pacemaker system when used under specific MRI conditions.

Read the detailed description

In the past, MR scans were always contraindicated for pacemaker patients. If particular prerequisites and conditions are fulfilled, MR scans can now be conducted on patients with BIOTRONIK's EVIA/ENTOVIS pacemakers in combination with the Safio S pacemaker leads, scheduled to be part of this clinical study.

The specific MRI conditions for this investigation with the EVIA/ENTOVIS pacemaker family and Safio S pacemaker leads are defined in the study protocol

What participants receive

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

  • Evia/Entovis pacemaker system under Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) conditionsProcedure or surgery

    Also called Evia/Entovis SR-T (single chamber with telemetry function), DR-T (dual chamber with telemetry function), Atrial/ventricular lead(s): Safio S 53 and S 60., Safio S 45

    patients will undergo an MRI scan for 30 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary hypothesis 1: MRI and pacing system related Serious Adverse Device Effect (SADE) free rate

    MRI and pacing system related Serious Adverse Device Effect (SADE) Free-Rate is greater than 90%.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Primary hypotheses 2 and 3: pacing threshold rise (atrial and ventricular)

    The atrial or ventricular MRI induced pacing threshold rise is not larger than or equal to 0.5 V between Pre-MRI and 1-month follow-up

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Primary hypothesis 4: P-wave sensing attenuation

    P-wave attenuation: P-wave amplitude decrease (between pre-MRI follow-up and 1-month follow-up) exceeding 50% or a P-wave amplitude at 1-month follow-up smaller or equal to 1.5 mV

    Measured: 1 month

  4. Primary hypothesis 5: R-wave sensing attenuation

    R-wave attenuation: R-wave amplitude decrease (between pre-MRI follow-up and 1-month follow-up) exceeding 50% or a R-wave amplitude at 1-month follow-up smaller or equal to 5.0 mV.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Disease, run by Biotronik SE & Co. KG at 9 sites in 5 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 14 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 28 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Germany, Austria, Czechia, Switzerland, 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary hypothesis 1: MRI and pacing system related Serious Adverse Device Effect (SADE) free rate (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 4 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 NCT01460992, 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 28 Nov 2013.
