  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

About this study

Official title: Left Atrial Anatomy Reconstruction Using Model Based Fast Anatomical Mapping

This prospective, multicenter observational study will examine the ability of model based fast anatomical mapping (mFAM) to create left atrial (LA) geometry for atrial fibrillation ablation.

Read the detailed description

This prospective, multicenter observational study will examine the ability of model based fast anatomical mapping (mFAM) to create left atrial (LA) geometry for atrial fibrillation ablation.

Specifically, the study will assess the following issues in atrial fibrillation ablation:

  1. Accuracy of map (defined as the distance between the ablation points and the surface of the mFAM geometry)
  2. Left atrial geometry creation time
  3. Fluoroscopy time

The clinical team will hypothesize that this approach will lead to accurate LA geometry creation more rapidly and using less fluoroscopy than standard techniques

What participants receive

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

  • MFAMDevice

    Specifically, the mFAM Workstation accesses stored data of recorded electronic heart activity that has been obtained by conventional electrophysiological methods, using multi-electrode catheters placed in the heart (data inputs) for collection. Using proprietary software algorithms, the mFAM Workstation analyzes these data inputs and generates 3D anatomical structure.

    mFAM improves on the FAM functionality by applying a model-based approach for reconstruction of left atrial chamber anatomy

Study groups in NCT03349476
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
MFAMExperimentalThe mFAM Workstation is a computerized system used to reconstruct the shape of the left atrium of the heart, by fitting a parametric shape model to points data acquired by a catheter. The mFAM Workstation uses recorded catheter positions and other data inputs collected from various types of multi-electrode catheters and generates output data files that can be displayed as a 3D anatomic structure.
Receives: Device: MFAM

What is being measured

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

  1. mMap Scoring Questionnaire

    mMap Scoring Questionnaire: Tool used by operators to rate the accuracy of the map based on the distance between ablation points and accuracy of anatomy compared to the mapped mFam geometry.

    Total score from 1-7, with lower score indicating not representing (misleading) and higher score indicating agreement (accurate)

    Measured: hospital discharge, average 24 hours post procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Left Atrial Geometry Creation Time

    The amount of time it takes to create the geometrical map using Carto and MFAM during the ablation procedure

    Measured: during the procedure up to 60 minutes

  2. Fluoroscopy Time

    Fluoroscopy (radiation) time for left atrial anatomy creation during the ablation procedure

    Measured: hospital discharge, average 24 hours post procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MFAM in people with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation, run by Vivek Reddy at 1 site in United States.

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 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 2023. 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 United States. 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 27 Oct 2023). 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?

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?

mMap Scoring Questionnaire (time frame: hospital discharge, average 24 hours post procedure). 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 29 Nov 2023.
