Study summary

The C-MIC System is a medical device used to treat heart failure per the intended purpose which is to treat heart failure by applying an electrical micro-current to the heart.

Target patients for this study are patients who have received the device in a prior study.

Read the detailed description

The C-MIC System is a medical device used to treat heart failure per the intended purpose which is to treat heart failure by applying an electrical micro-current to the heart. The therapy with the C-MIC System is intended to take 6 months.

The C-MIC System consists of four parts, of which three are implanted: a transvenous and an epicardial lead and a power source to which the leads are connected. Both leads have the function to transmit micro-current to the heart. A Portable User Terminal (PUT) is needed for programming and readout of the data recorded by the Implantable Microcurrent Device (IMD).

Target patients of the C-MIC System at the time of implantation and inclusion in the C-MICII Study were patients with idiopathic dilative cardiomyopathy (NYHA class III - NYHA class who have systolic left ventricular dysfunction despite adequate therapy of heart failure.

Target patients for this study are patients who have received the device in a prior study.

  • in writing from the patient.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who are unwilling or unable to participate in the study visits.
  • Vulnerable Patients.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
