NCT ID NCT06854081

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is tracking 100 adults who receive an EluPro antibiotic-eluting envelope during implantation of a heart device (like a pacemaker). The envelope slowly releases antibiotics to prevent infection. Researchers are monitoring complication rates in real-world use to see how safe and effective it is.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
EluPro Antibiotic-Eluting BioEnvelope (a mesh pouch that releases antibiotics around a heart device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that the EluPro envelope helps prevent infections in people with implanted heart devices, leading to safer procedures.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the envelope works better than standard care. Results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient is undergoing implantation of EluPro with either a de novo CIED implantation or has an existing CIED and is undergoing CIED replacement or upgrade. * Patient is willing to comply with scheduled follow-up and study-related visits. * Patient is 18 years of age or older at the time of enrollment. * Patient agrees to provide written informed consent and use of PHI. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient has a prior history of CIED infection, other prosthetic device infection, or endovascular infection, including endocarditis, in the past 12 months. * Patient is exhibiting signs or symptoms consistent with any type of active infection (including but not limited to pneumonia, urinary tract, cellulitis, or bacteremia). * Patient has Stage 4 or 5 kidney disease (eGFR \<30 ml/min). * Patient requires long-term vascular access for any reason. * Patient is undergoing implantation of a CIED that does not fit completely into EluPro, preventing closure of the bioenvelope to secure the CIED. * Patient is currently on chronic immunosuppressive agents or ≥20mg/day of Prednisone or equivalent. * Patient has known allergy to minocycline or rifampin or their derivatives, or any other known contraindications to the implantation of EluPro. * Patient is participating in another clinical study that could impact the outcome and documented pre-approval from the study sponsor has not been obtained. * Female patient who is pregnant, or of childbearing potential and not on a reliable form of birth control. Women of childbearing potential are required to have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to device procedure.
