Study summary

The goal of this observational post-market clinical Follow-up study is to learn about the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of pacing the left bundle branch area (LBBAP) using the INGEVITY+ pacemaker lead in patients with bradycardia who need a pacemaker.

Study population

Subjects included in SEPTA PMCF will be selected from the physician investigator's general patient population with a brady pacing indication for single or dual-chamber pacemaker implantation where LBBAP is preferred. Diverse racial and gender patient consideration should be implemented when determining potential participants.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Subjects intended to undergo initial (de novo) pacing system implant using the INGEVITY+ lead in the left bundle branch area (LBBA) and a Boston Scientific single or dual- chamber pacemaker (Note: no prior attempted pacing system components);
  2. Subjects who are indicated for and will receive a Boston Scientific pacemaker system (including the single or dual chamber pacemaker and an INGEVITY+ lead in the LBBA location) for one of the following medical conditions:

    1. Symptomatic paroxysmal or permanent second- or third-degree AV block,
    2. Symptomatic bilateral bundle branch block,
    3. Symptomatic paroxysmal or transient sinus node dysfunction with or without associated AV conduction disorders (i.e., sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest, sinoatrial [SA] block),
    4. Bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome, to prevent symptomatic bradycardia or some forms of symptomatic tachyarrhythmias,
    5. Neurovascular (vasovagal) syndromes or hypersensitive carotid sinus syndromes,
    6. Adaptive-rate pacing for patients exhibiting chronotropic incompetence and who may benefit from increased pacing rates concurrent with increases in minute ventilation and/or level of physical activity.

      Dual-chamber and atrial tracking modes are also indicated for patients who may benefit from maintenance of AV synchrony. Dual chamber modes are specifically indicated for treatment of the following:

    7. Conduction disorders that require restoration of AV synchrony, including varying degrees of AV block,
    8. VVI intolerance (i.e., pacemaker syndrome) in the presence of persistent sinus rhythm,
    9. Low cardiac output or congestive heart failure secondary to bradycardia;
  3. Subjects willing and capable of providing and participating in all testing and clinic visits associated with the clinical study at an approved clinical study location and at the intervals defined by protocol;
  4. Subjects who are ≥18 years of age, and of legal age to give informed consent specific to state and national law.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects meeting guideline indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in the absence of a bradycardia indication;
  2. Subjects with a known or suspected sensitivity to dexamethasone acetate (DXA);
  3. Subjects with a Mechanical Tricuspid Valve;
  4. Subjects requiring hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis;
  5. Subject has or has had implanted any pacemaker, ICD system, including subcutaneous, transvenous or leadless systems (Note: except for temporary pacing wire at time of enrollment) or CRT system;
  6. Subjects currently on an active organ transplant list;
  7. Subject referred to or admitted for hospice care;
  8. Subjects with a documented of less than 12 months;
  9. Subjects enrolled in any other concurrent study (unless prior approval is received from the Sponsor);
  10. Subjects who are, or plan to become pregnant during the course of the study or are breastfeeding at time of enrollment;
  11. Subjects who are unable or unwilling to comply with the follow-up schedule, including those living at such a distance from the site that attending follow-up visits would be unusually difficult or burdensome.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Groups and cohorts

  • Patients receiving INGEVITY+ lead for left bundle branch area pacing

    This group includes adult patients with bradycardia who are indicated for a Boston Scientific pacemaker system. All participants will undergo implantation of an INGEVITY+ pace/sense lead in the left bundle branch area (LBBAP) with a compatible Boston Scientific pacemaker.

    Device: Pacemaker lead

Interventions

  • DevicePacemaker lead

    The pacemaker lead under investigation is a bipolar, steroid-releasing pacemaker electrode with active fixation (IS-1 connection) designed for chronic stimulation and sensing in the right atrium, right ventricle or left bundle branch area (LBBA). In this study, the lead is implanted in the LBBA and connected to a single- or dual-chamber pacemaker. Implantation is performed using a compatible, CE-marked catheter for pacemaker implantation.

    Also known as: Bradycardia pacemaker system, Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing (LBBAP) Lead

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. LBBA Implant Success Rate

    Percentage of subjects in whom the INGEVITY+ lead is successfully implanted in the left bundle branch area (LBBA). Implant success is determined by ECG and procedural criteria, as defined per protocol.

    Time frame: At the time of implant procedure (Day 0).

  2. Maintenance of Ventricular Synchrony (Paced QRS Duration)

    Mean paced QRS duration measured by 12-lead ECG to assess preservation of ventricular synchrony.

    Time frame: From implant through 3-year follow-up.

Other outcomes

  1. Lead-related Complication-Free Rate

    Freedom from lead-related complications (death, serious injury, invasive correction, or permanent loss of device function).

    Time frame: From implant through 3 years.
