Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia
Refractory Ventricular TachycardiaSingle arm, phase Ib/2a dose escalation study with an expansion cohort to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) for stereotactic ablative radiotherapy of targets in the cardiac myocardium and to make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of the treatment. The dose escalation will be guided by Time-to-Event Continual Reassessment Method (TITE-CRM) to ensure more patients will be spared dose limiting toxicities and more patients will be entered on the dose level that will be chosen as minimal dose of maximal effect. This design also allows for continual accrual of patients when delayed adverse events may be observed.
Ablation of Clinical Ventricular Tachycardia Versus Addition of Substrate Ablation on the Long Term...
Ventricular TachycardiaThis study aims to assess whether a combined technique of substrate ablation and ablation of the clinically presenting VT at the site of early activation is superior to ablation of the clinically presenting VT alone, in enhancing long-term success of VT ablation.
Fast VT Episodes Are Terminated by ATP One Shot
Ventricular TachycardiaMonomorphicMany arrhythmias detected in the ventricular fibrillation (VF)-zone picture monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and, hence, could be terminated by antitachycardia pacing (ATP) treatment. Advantages of successful ATP are the painlessness termination and the shortened duration of arrhythmia. The ATP One Shot algorithm is integrated in the latest family of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) from BIOTRONIK (Lumax). It allows a single delivery of ATP before charging capacitors to terminate lethal arrhythmia by painful shock. The present study evaluates the efficacy of the ATP One Shot algorithm for the termination of fast VT episodes. 200 patients with secondary prophylactic ICD indication will be followed for 18 months. Spontaneous episodes detected in the VF-zone of the ICD will be evaluated with regard to cycle length, episode duration and course of device therapy.
ADVANCE-D: Antitachycardia Pacing (ATP) Delivery for Painless Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator...
TachycardiaVentricular1 moreThe purpose of this study is to estimate and quantify the difference in efficacy of two sequences of ATP therapies (burst 15 pulses, 88% versus burst 8 pulses, 88%) during an episode of spontaneous rhythms classified as fast ventricular tachycardia (FVT) via ventricular fibrillation (VF) in patients who have a Class I or II A indication for ICD implantation, and thus to promote the "painless" therapy aspect of ICD treatment and improve quality of life outcomes for patients.
Antiarrhythmics Versus Implantable Defibrillators (AVID)
ArrhythmiaCardiovascular Diseases7 moreTo evaluate if use of an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) results in reduction in total mortality, when compared with conventional pharmacological therapy, in patients resuscitated from sudden cardiac death who are otherwise at very high risk of mortality from arrhythmic causes.

Efficacy and Safety of Etripamil for the Termination of Spontaneous PSVT. NODE 301 [Part 1 and Part...
Paroxysmal Supraventricular TachycardiaThis is a two-part, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of etripamil NS self-administered by patients who experience an episode of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia (PSVT) in an at-home setting. Part 1 comprised the conduct of the NODE-301 study up to the date of the adjudication of 150th positively adjudicated PSVT episode and Part 2 comprises the conduct of the NODE-301 study after the completion of Part 1. The RAPID Study (NODE-301 - Part 2) will enroll patients enrolled during Part 1 who had not dosed with the double-blind study drug, or had not discontinued the study before the adjudication of the 150th positively adjudicated PSVT episode in Part 1, and patients enrolled into the study following the completion of Part 1. Enrollment will continue until and for approximately 6 months after the date of the adjudication of the 180th positively adjudicated PSVT episode. The study will include the following visits: A Screening Visit, A Test Dose Randomization Visit, Monthly Follow-up Visits, A Randomized Treatment Period, A Randomized Treatment Period Follow-Up Visit, An Open-Label Treatment Period, and A Final Study Visit.

Monomorphic Ventricular TachycardiaTo compare the efficacy and safety of substrate-based radiofrequency catheter ablation vs. antiarrhythmic drug therapy in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and scar-related sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia.
Radiofrequency Ablation of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia Using a Novel Catheter Equipped...
Paroxysmal Supraventricular TachycardiaParoxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is treated with radiofrequency ablation recently. This procedure is performed by ablating slow pathway or accessory pathway using radiofrequency ablation catheter. Recently developed mirofidelity (MIFI) catheter has mini-electrodes that can record local eletrogram with higher resolution. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of MIFI catheter in the ablation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia compared to conventional radiofrequency ablation catheter. Enrolled patients undergo conventional electrophysiologic study. Patients with sustained supraventricular tachycardia during the study are randomized to either study group or control group. Radiofrequency ablation is performed using MIFI catheter in the study group, and conventional catheter (Blazer II) in the control group. The study endpoints are recorded immediately after ablation and there is no additional follow up or management after procedure.
