Active clinical trials for "Tachycardia, Ventricular"

Ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) are the most common causes of sudden cardiac death in patients with diseased hearts. The factors contributing to these deadly arrhythmias are not well understood. The presence of a wide variety of microbial flora in the human GI tract, particularly colon has been well recognized for a long time. There are also emerging links showing the effect of an intact gut microbiome having effects on left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction and hypertension. Gut microbiota has also been associated with outcomes in atrial fibrillation. There is little available in current literature showing a relationship between gut microbiome characteristics and ventricular arrhythmia burden. The gut microbiome has particularly strong interactions with neuroendocrine and immunologic mediators and has effects on the modulation of the autonomic nervous system. These systems are also hypothesized to influence ventricular arrhythmias. The investigators propose to study the relation and interaction between gut microbiome and ventricular arrhythmogenesis.

S-ICD avoids the use intravascular leads and their associated risks, has been increasingly used for primary and secondary prevention of sudden death. The long-term safety and feasible of S-ICD system in Asian population with a smaller body size remain unclear. The investigators propose to perform a prospective study in Korean population to investigate the safety and feasibility of S-ICD for primary or secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death.

The Thermedical Ablation System and Durablate catheter is indicated for use in patients with recurrent, sustained, monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (SMVT) refractory to drug therapy and conventional (approved) catheter ablation. Subjects with recurrent, SMVT refractory to drug therapy and conventional catheter ablation who are not eligible for, or will not likely benefit from repeat endocardial ablation using an approved catheter.

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, sponsor unblinded, placebo-controlled, single-dose clinical study of CRD-4730 to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of CRD-4730 when administered as single oral doses to participants with Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT). The study will have 2 cohorts in which participants with CPVT will participate in a 3-period, randomized 2-sequence study. Each participant will receive 2 different doses of CRD-4730 and 1 dose of matching placebo, with each study drug administered as a single dose.

The "Long-term Outcome and Predictors for Recurrence after Medical and Interventional Treatment of Arrhythmias at the University Heart Center Hamburg" (TRUST) study is an investor-initiated, single-center, prospective clinical cohort study including patients treated with cardiac arrhythmias or at high risk for cardiac arrhythmias. The design enables prospective, low-threshold, near complete inclusion of patients with arrhythmias treated at the UHZ. Collection of routine follow-up data, detailed procedural information and systematic biobanking will enable precise and robust phenotyping.

Phase I: For the Phase I portion, there will be up to 15 patients treated with SABR and followed for 6 months post-treatment to ensure no significant acute grade 3 or 4 toxicity from SABR treatment. Efficacy as defined below will also be assessed. Following this Phase I lead-in, results will be presented to the FDA for review. Only upon favorable analysis by the FDA committee, and with written explicit permission, will the Phase II randomized portion ensue. This is to act as a safety and efficacy safeguard and has is addressed more thoroughly in the Statistical Analysis Plan of this protocol. Phase II: A 1:1 randomized Phase II portion with 25 patients in each arm assigned to SABR or current practice (standard of care; Figure 3). Standard of care is defined as nationally recognized appropriate next treatment strategies for medical and catheter-ablation refractory structural cardiac VT that is assessed and judged appropriate for the patient by his/her treating cardiologist. This includes repeat catheter ablation (intravascular and/or epicardial catheter ablation), placement of left-ventricular assist device (LVAD), heart transplant, or further medical management (e.g. antiarrhythmic drug modulation/continuation). Randomization will be performed through the Clinical Trial Conduct (CTC) website.

The VISABL-VT is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, interventional investigation of the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency (RF) ablation of ventricular tachycardia associated with ischemic cardiomyopathy performed with the Vision-MR Ablation Catheter 2.0 in the iCMR environment.

The goal of this registry database is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of functional ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation using SENSE protocol in patients with ischaemic VT. Mortality and the need for ICD therapies at 12 months post-ablation will be compared with propensity-matched controls undergoing substrate-based ablation alone.

We aim to improve our understanding of a life-threatening heart rhythm disorder known as ventricular tachycardia (VT). This is a disorder which originates from the lower chamber of the heart and frequently is associated with heart disease. We will use an MRI scan to generate a computer based model of the heart which can predict areas of the heart which are important in generating this rhythm disorder. We intend to assess how accurate this computer model is compared to traditional invasive assessment of the heart muscle. We also aim to assess the electrical characteristics of those areas which were predicted by the computer model in order to see why they were thought to be so important. All patients seen at St George's Hospital with VT will be eligible. As is routine for these patients, they will have an MRI scan of the heart. We will then use this scan to create a virtual reconstruction of the heart from which predictions of the critical areas of the heart which are generating the rhythm problem will be made. Then we will perform a VT ablation (studying the electrical properties and if necessary making a burn to treat the rhythm problem) - as per standard of care, however during the ablation we will spend extra time collecting information comparing the accuracy of the computer-generated model to the traditional invasive signals which guide ablation. We will study the electrical properties of those predicted areas to see what is special about them. The study will last up to three years.

NODE-202 is a Phase 2, multicenter, multinational, single dose, open-label, 2-part, sequential design study in pediatric patients with an established diagnosis of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) presenting with a symptomatic episode of PSVT. In Part 1, at least 30 patients aged 12 to <18 years will be enrolled and treated with etripamil nasal spray (NS). Efficacy, safety, tolerability and PK (for at least 12 patients) will be assessed after administration of 70 mg etripamil NS (Part 1A). At least 18 subsequent patients will be enrolled and treated with the etripamil NS with the dose determined by the Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis and will undergo efficacy and safety/tolerability assessments (Part 1B). In Part 2, at least 30 patients aged 6 to <12 years will be enrolled and treated with etripamil NS at a dose selected based on appropriate body size-based modeling, as well as efficacy, safety/tolerability, and PK data collected in Part 1. Efficacy, safety, tolerability and PK (for at least 12 patients) will be assessed after administration of etripamil NS (Part 2A). At least 18 subsequent patients will be enrolled and treated with the etripamil NS with the dose determined by the PK analysis and will undergo efficacy and safety/tolerability assessments (Part 2B). The study will include the following visits: A Screening Visit, A Treatment Visit, , and A Follow-Up/End of Study Visit.
