What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent of Participants Alive and Without a Left Ventricular Lead-related Complication

    Percent of Participants Alive and Without a Left Ventricular Lead-related Complication at 5 years of follow-up. Per FDA, data from IDE subjects who did not consent to rollover into the post approval study at sites participating in the post approval study, were included in this analysis (see clinical investigational protocol).

    Time frame: 5 years

  2. Left Ventricular Bipolar Pacing Capture Threshold

    Mean left ventricular bipolar pacing capture threshold measured at 0.5 ms pulse width at 5 years of follow-up

Participant flow

Per the clinical investigation protocol, IDE subjects (n=54) who did not consent to roll over into the post approval study (PAS) at sites participating in the post approval study, were included in primary endpoint analyses. Since these subjects are not enrolled into the PAS, they are not reflected in the participant flow.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Sep 2010 to primary completion in Sep 2017, 84 months.

Results were first posted in Aug 2019, 1 year 11 months after primary completion.

Of 160 industry-sponsored observational studies under Heart Failure, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 19 and three quarters within 58. This study's 84 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 825 studies reached it within 40 months; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 80.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 12, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
