NCT ID NCT05839873

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 follows 62 people with non-ischemic structural heart disease who have recurrent, drug-resistant ventricular tachycardia. They are treated with the FlexAbility SE ablation catheter, which uses heat to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing the abnormal rhythm. Researchers will track serious complications and whether patients remain free of VT, death, or need a heart transplant for one year after the procedure.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
FlexAbility SE Ablation Catheter (device used to destroy heart tissue causing abnormal rhythms)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that the FlexAbility SE catheter is a safe and effective option for controlling ventricular tachycardia in patients with non-ischemic structural heart disease.
What could go wrong
This is an observational post-approval study with only 62 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply to all patients. Risks include procedure-related serious adverse events and VT recurrence.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient or legally acceptable representative or parent/guardian (as applicable) must provide written informed consent prior to any clinical investigation-related procedure 2. Subjects who have recurrent, drug-refractory, sustained MMVT with non-ischemic structural heart disease and a clinical decision has been made to use FlexAbility SE for an ablation procedure prior to enrollment in the research study 3. Refractory (i.e. not effective, not tolerated or not desired) to at least one Class I/III anti-arrhythmic medication for treatment of MMVT 4. Implanted with a market released ICD or CRT-D prior to the Index Ablation Procedure 5. Able and willing to comply with all study requirements Exclusion Criteria: 1. Documented or known intracardiac thrombus or myxoma 2. Active systemic infection 3. History of atriotomy or ventriculotomy within 4 weeks prior to the Index Ablation Procedure 4.
