About this study
Official title: Assessment of the Safety and Efficacy of a Combined Cardiac Contractility Modulation and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Device for Subjects With Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that the OPTIMIZER® Integra CCM-D System (the "CCM-D System") can safely and effective convert induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) and spontaneous ventricular tachycardia and/or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) episodes in subjects with Stage C or D heart failure who remain symptomatic despite being on guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), are not indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and have heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤40%).
Eligible subjects will be implanted with the CCM-D System. A subset of subjects will be induced into ventricular fibrillation "on the table" in the implant procedure room. During the follow-up period, inappropriate shock rate and device-related complications will be evaluated. The follow-up period is expected to last at least two years.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
OPTIMIZER® Integra CCM-D System (Treatment Arm)Device
The CCM-D System is an implantable cardiac device system that combines cardiac contractility modulation and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) modules into one device. CCM-D is also known as a "Cardiac Contractility Modulation - Defibrillator". All 300 subjects will be implanted with the CCM-D System and followed for a period of at least two years.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| CCM-D Implant | Experimental | The subject is implanted with the CCM-D device. Receives: Device: OPTIMIZER® Integra CCM-D System (Treatment Arm) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Device Effectiveness in Converting Induced Ventricular Fibrillation (Primary Efficacy Objective)
Evaluate the device effectiveness in converting induced VF at the time of implantation.
Measured: Implant
Device-related Complications (Primary Safety Objective)
Evaluate device-related complications through 6-months (excluding lead-related complications).
Measured: Implant to 6 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Inappropriate Shock Rate out to 6-months (Secondary Safety Objective)
Evaluate the incidence of inappropriate ICD shocks through the time when the last subject enrolled completes the 6-month visit.
Measured: Implant to 6 months

The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that the OPTIMIZER® Integra CCM-D System (the "CCM-D System") can safely and effective convert induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) and spontaneous ventricular tachycardia and/or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) episodes in subjects with Stage C or D heart failure who remain symptomatic despite being on guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), are not indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and have heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤40%).
Eligible subjects will be implanted with the CCM-D System. A subset of subjects will be induced into ventricular fibrillation "on the table" in the implant procedure room. During the follow-up period, inappropriate shock rate and device-related complications will be evaluated. The follow-up period is expected to last at least two years.
