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 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The primary study population includes patients who meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria, has had or will have market-approved St. Jude Medical ICD or CRT-D device systems implanted, and has no history of MMVT.

Who may be able to join

  • Patient is receiving a new SJM ICD or CRT-D implant system, which has study required programing capabilities and is appropriate for remote monitoring. Patients who have received the ICD or CRT-D up to 30 days prior to enrollment are also eligible.
  • Patient consents to have a NIPS/EP study.
  • Patient has documented Ejection Fraction (EF) < 50% and / or Right Ventricular (RV) dysfunction.
  • Patient has documented structural cardiomyopathy of any kind >1 month.
  • Patient is between 18 to 75 years of age.
  • Patient has been informed of the nature of the study and has agreed to its provisions and provided written informed consent using a form approved by the Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee (IRB/EC).

Who cannot join

  • Patient has history of stroke.
  • Patient has had ST Segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI); or previous cardiac surgery within 60 days prior to enrollment.
  • Patient is pregnant or nursing.
  • Patient has chronic New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV heart failure.
  • Patient has limited life expectancy according to the investigator (less than one year).
  • Patient has had a recent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) (< 60 days) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (< 30 days).
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Patient is currently participating in an investigational drug or device study Patient is unable or unwilling to cooperate with the study procedures.
  • Patient has a prosthetic mitral or aortic valve.
  • Patient has mitral or aortic valvular heart disease requiring immediate surgical intervention.
  • Patient has Left Ventricular EF < 15%.
  • Patient has had a previous ablation procedure for ventricular tachycardia (VT), excluding remote (> 3 months) outflow tract tachycardia.
  • Patient has previously documented history of severe loss of kidney function or kidney failure.
  • Patient has premature ventricular contractions (PVC) or VT induced cardiomyopathy expected to resolve with ablation and will not require an ICD.
  • Patient has reversible cause of VT.

About this study

Official title: An Evaluation of Inducible Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (MMVT) in Patients With St. Jude Medical Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Systems or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillation (CRT-D) Systems.

The intent of this observational study is to understand the role of non-invasive programmed stimulation (NIPS) to induce substrate based MMVT (Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia) in patients receiving new St. Jude Medical Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Defibrillation (CRT-D) systems.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 50 centers worldwide will participate in the study. Additional centers outside the US may be considered, as necessary. The anticipated enrollment duration is 48-60 months.

This study provides a mechanism for sites to refer subjects for potential enrollment to the Substrate Targeted Ablation Using the FlexAbility™ Ablation Catheter System for the Reduction of Ventricular Tachycardia (STAR-VT) Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02130765).

Patients receiving ICD or CRT-D device implant (or have received it within 30 days) may be enrolled in the study.

What participants receive

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

  • ICD/CRT-D with NIPS or EP StudyDevice

    ICD/CRT-D implanted patients are tested for inducible MMVT during electrophysiology (EP) Study or Non-Invasive Programmed Stimulation (NIPS) Study

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of ICD/CRT-D implanted patients with documented monomorphic ventricular tachycardia.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of ICD shocks.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Quality of Life via Short Form Survey (SF-36)

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia, run by Abbott Medical Devices.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2019. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Rate of ICD/CRT-D implanted patients with documented monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. (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 4 Feb 2019.
