About this study

Official title: Advanced Imaging and Inflammatory Markers to Define Mechanisms of Response to CRT

This is a mechanistic clinical trial with randomization to guidance for the CRT procedure using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) versus a standard procedure.

Read the detailed description

At baseline, patients will have CMR, CTA, echocardiography, blood testing, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. They will also complete a heart failure questionnaire. In patients randomized to CMR guidance for the CRT procedure, LV lead placement will be guided by the MRI information related to scar, activation and anatomy. Patients will have follow-up assessments at 6 and 12 months. There will also be clinical follow-up for survival free of appropriate ICD therapies over 3 years.

What participants receive

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

  • CMR/CTA Guidance for CRTDiagnostic test

    The intervention is the use of CMR and CTA to determine the optimal pacing site in the left ventricle for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and guide left ventricular lead placement.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CMR/CTA Guidance for CRT in people with Heart Failure, Systolic, run by University of Virginia 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 3 inclusion and 12 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2020. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kenneth C Bilchick, MD (4349242465, bilchick@virginia.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) improvement (time frame: One Year). 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 6 Feb 2020.
