NCT ID NCT06931821

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial compares two ways to guide ablation for ventricular tachycardia, a dangerous fast heart rhythm. One method uses standard voltage mapping to burn away all low-voltage scar tissue. The other uses a newer technique called ILAM that targets specific zones where the electrical signal slows down. The goal is to see if the ILAM-guided approach is at least as good as the standard method, with fewer complications and less heart damage.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Isochronal Late Activation Mapping (ILAM) guided ablation using a standard irrigated tip catheter
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could make heart ablation more precise, reducing the need for repeat procedures and lowering complication rates.
What could go wrong
This is a non-inferiority trial, so the new method may prove no better than the current standard. The technique is also highly specialized, which may limit generalizability.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Criteria To participate in this clinical investigation, the subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria: 1. Patient is ≥18 years of age. 2. Able and willing to comply with all study requirements. 3. At least one documented episode of sustained MMVT (\>30 sec) by either EGM or ECG (including Holter, or loop recorder) in the 6 months prior to enrollment. 4. Informed of the nature of the study, agreed to its provisions, and has provided written informed consent as approved by the Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee (IRB/EC) of the respective clinical study site. 5. Refractory (i.e., not effective, not tolerated, or not desired) to at least one anti-arrhythmic medication (including, but not limited to beta blocker, mexiletine, amiodarone or sotalol) for treatment of MMVT. 6. Structural heart disease (ischemic or non-ischemic) with one of the following (a, b or c): 1. Evidence of myocardial scar by echocardiography (segmental wall motion or wall thinning), CT (wall thinning) and/or MRI (presence of delayed enhancement /late gadolinium enhancement) . CT or MRI with scar is mandatory for inclusion of NICM., or 2. Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) \<50% \[documented within the last 6 months via transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE), MRI\] with presence of scar, or 3. Arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (per 2010 ARVC/D Task Force Criteria) Exclusion Criteria Subjects who meet any of the following exclusion criteria must be excluded from the clinical investigation: 1. Active infection (positive blood culture). 2. Patient is pregnant or nursing. 3. Cardiac surgery via sternotomy (CABG or valve repair/replacement) within 30 days prior to enrollment. 4. Contraindication to systemic anticoagulation (i.e., heparin, warfarin, or a direct thrombin inhibitor). 5. Currently receiving support via extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or ventricular assist device (VAD). 6. Left Ventriclar ejection fraction \< 15%. 7. Stroke within 30 days or presence of LV thrombus within 1 month prior to enrollment. 8. Idiopathic VT or preprocedural imaging without scar (MRI or CT). 9. Limited life expectancy of 1 year or less. 10. Presence of mitral and aortic valves both mechanical. 11. Ventricular tachycardia secondary to electrolyte imbalance or any other reversible or non-cardiac cause. 12. Severe aortic stenosis or flail mitral valve with severed mitral regurgitation. 13. Thrombocytopenia (defined as platelet count \<50,000/μl ) or coagulopathy. 14. Ventricular arrhythmias secondary to underlying channelopathies (LQTS, Brugada Syndrome). 15. Enrolled in an investigational study evaluating another device or drug that would confound the results of this study. 16. Other anatomic or co-morbid conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the patient's ability to participate in the study or to comply with follow up requirement of 1 year, or impact the scientific integrity of the study results.
