Trial Outcomes & Findings for Continued Access Protocol for the Evaluation of the OPTIMIZER Smart System (NCT NCT03102437)

NCT ID: NCT03102437

Last Updated: 2021-11-23

Results Overview

The FIX-HF-5CA Study was unofficially intended to serve as the Post-Approval Study (PAS) with the intention of collecting 3 year observed mortality data and comparing that to the predicted probability of mortality derived from two validated heart failure models \[MAGGIC (Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure) and SHFM (Seattle Heart Failure Model)\]. The objective was to show that the observed prevalence of mortality was not worse than the derived predicted probability of mortality. Upon PMA and PMA Supplement approval of the device, however, FDA and the Sponsor stopped this 5CA study and a new PAS was initiated (NCT03970343). No long-term mortality data or final analysis was collected for this study.

Measure
Optimizer Smart System (3-Lead)
All eligible subjects will have the Optimizer Smart System 3-Lead implanted and receive cardiac contractility modulation therapy (CCM). Optimizer Smart System: The Optimizer Smart System delivers non-excitatory cardiac contractility modulating (CCM) electrical signals to the heart muscle. Treatment group subjects receive five non-contiguous one-hour periods of CCM signals per day.
Optimizer Smart System (2-Lead)
All eligible subjects will have the Optimizer Smart System 2-Lead implanted and receive cardiac contractility modulation therapy (CCM). Optimizer Smart System: The Optimizer Smart System delivers non-excitatory cardiac contractility modulating (CCM) electrical signals to the heart muscle. Treatment group subjects receive five non-contiguous one-hour periods of CCM signals per day.
