Trial Outcomes & Findings for Optimizing Pacing Therapy by Using Multi-Programmable Pulse Generators for Cardiac Resynchronization Pacing (CRT-P) (NCT NCT02488239)

NCT ID: NCT02488239

Last Updated: 2019-09-20

Results Overview

Evaluate the Device-Related Complication Free Rate (DRCFR) at 3 months post-implant, which was based on complications that were related to the CRT-P device. A device-related complication was an adverse event that resulted in death, serious injury, a correction using invasive intervention or permanent loss of device functions, and that was assessed as related to the device.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months post-implant

Population: Out of 61 actively enrolled subjects (3 subjects were not implanted with the study device), 55 patients continued the study for at least 3 months: 6 subjects were excluded from analysis because either they died or withdrew before 3 months analysis, or because no 3 months data was available.

Evaluate the Device-Related Complication Free Rate (DRCFR) at 3 months post-implant, which was based on complications that were related to the CRT-P device. A device-related complication was an adverse event that resulted in death, serious injury, a correction using invasive intervention or permanent loss of device functions, and that was assessed as related to the device.
