What participants receive

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

  • Conventional cryotherapy dosageOther

    Cryotherapy dosage: 180 seconds applications until block of the pulmonary vein plus 1 bonus freezing of 180 seconds

  • Experimental cryotherapy dosageOther

    cryotherapy dosage: applications "time to block of the vein" plus 60 seconds long until block of the vein plus 1 bonus freezing of 120 seconds

  • Arctic Front Advance ST Cryoenergy Balloon CatheterDevice

    Electrical isolation of pulmonary veins with Arctic Front Advance cryoballoon

  • Adenosine triphosphateDrug

    12 mg of adenosine triphosphate are administrated intravenously to test dormant conduction in pulmonary veins apparently disconnected

  • nECG platform Nuubo®Device

    30 days electrocardiographic monitoring system to detect atrial fibrillation episodes after ablation

What is being measured

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

  1. Atrial fibrillation-free survival, without antiarrhythmic drug therapy

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Mean number of cryotherapy applications per patient to complete isolation

    Measured: Intraprocedural

  2. Total cryotherapy time

    Total cryotherapy time of applications needed per patient

    Measured: Intraprocedure

  3. Time required to complete isolation of all the pulmonary veins (LA time)

    Time from the end of transeptal approach until the withdrawal of the cryoballoon

    Measured: Intraprocedure

  4. Total procedure time

    Time from the local anesthesia is administrated until the whole procedure is finished

    Measured: Intraprocedure

  5. Acute reconnection of pulmonary veins

    Number of veins reconnected after a 30 minutes waiting period since the end of procedure and with adenosine test

    Measured: Intraprocedure

  6. Adverse events

    Number of participants with procedural-related adverse events as assessed by by CTCAE v4.0

    Measured: Intraprocedure

  7. Total number of atrial fibrillation episodes monitored by Nuubo system

    Measured: 12 Months

  8. Total time in atrial fibrillation monitored by Nuubo system

    Total time in atrial fibrillation monitored by Nuubo system in hours

    Measured: 12 months

  9. Atrial fibrillation burden detected by Nuubo system

    total time in atrial fibrillation related to the hole time of monitoring (percentage)

    Measured: 12 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conventional cryotherapy dosage, Experimental cryotherapy dosage and Arctic Front Advance ST Cryoenergy Balloon Catheter in people with Atrial Fibrillation, run by Fundación para la Investigación del Hospital Clínico de Valencia at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 inclusion and 10 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 Aug 2019. 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 Spain. 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?

Atrial fibrillation-free survival, without antiarrhythmic drug therapy (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT02789358, 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 15 Aug 2019.
