About this study

Study conducted to confirm phrenic nerve stimulation using the Lungpacer LIVE Catheter, confirm capture of the diaphragm and confirm that the diaphragm can be paced in synchrony with mechanical ventilator breaths.

Read the detailed description

This study is being conducted to determine if in an anaesthetized (sedated, intubated and mechanically ventilated) subject the LIVE Catheter can be inserted percutaneously and activated via the electrical stimulator to stimulate the left and right phrenic nerves causing the diaphragm to contract in synchrony with mechanical ventilator breaths via phrenic nerve stimulation from a transvenously delivered electrical current.

What participants receive

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

  • LIVE CatheterDevice

    Placement of a temporary LIVE Catheter central venous pacing device in the left subclavian vein to pace the phrenic nerves and allow recruitment of the diaphragm muscle.

Study groups in NCT02670460
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Temporary diaphragmatic pacingExperimentalThere is no comparator for this study. Single site and all patients are in the treatment allocated group of temporary diaphragmatic pacing with the LIVE Catheter which is inserted via the left subclavian vein.
Receives: Device: LIVE Catheter

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful insertion of the LIVE Catheter into the left subclavian vien

    Confirmation by cinefluoroscopy of the insertion of the LIVE Catheter into the Left subclavian vein with the tip located in the superior vena cava

    Measured: at time of procedure

  2. Absence of device related or procedure related adverse events

    Assess subject AE status out to 48 hours post procedure

    Measured: up to 48 hours or at time of discharge whichever comes first

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Phrenic nerve stimulation in synchrony with MV breaths

    Phrenic nerve stimulation in synchrony with MV breaths as defined by contraction of the diaphragm upon energy delivery.

    Measured: No more than 90 minutes procedure duration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LIVE Catheter in people with Ventilator Induced Lung Injury, run by Lungpacer Medical Inc. at 1 site in Paraguay.

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 3 inclusion and 16 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 15 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Paraguay. 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?

Successful insertion of the LIVE Catheter into the left subclavian vien (time frame: at time of procedure). The study lists 2 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 NCT02670460, which also lists 4 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.

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 15 Apr 2016.
