About this study

Official title: Subcostal Temporary Extravascular Pacing V (STEP V) Study

The STEP V Study is a prospective, multicenter, acute (in-hospital), single-arm feasibility study. The objective of the study is to evaluate the early safety and performance of the latest AtaCor EV Temporary Pacing Lead System over a two-day use period.

Read the detailed description

The primary safety objective is freedom from Adverse Device Effects (ADE). The primary performance objective is summary statistics for pacing capture threshold, impedance, and sensed R-wave amplitude with the StealthTrac Lead from insertion through removal.

Up to three (3) Investigational Sites will participate with up to 50 subjects enrolled in the study. Subjects indicated for closed-chest cardiac invasive procedures will be eligible for participation. Subjects undergoing a qualifying index procedure will have a Model AC-101400 StealthTrac Lead inserted and evaluated over the follow-up period. Subject participation is expected to be 2 days with the Study Lead inserted, plus 30 days post lead removal. A 30 day (+/-3 days) post-removal follow-up will also be performed to document any latent adverse events. Subjects remain enrolled until completion of the 30-Day Follow Up.

The maximum duration for study participation is 33 days. Study duration estimated to be 3 years after the first study enrollment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AtaCor StealthTrac Lead in people with Conduction Defect, run by AtaCor 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 6 inclusion and 20 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 24 Aug 2025. 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?

Freedom from ADEs (time frame: Up to 2 days post-insertion). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Aug 2025.
