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.

  • Patient with a congenital heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or infiltrative cardiomyopathy
  • Patient with a (LVEF) ≤ 35%
  • Patient already enrolled in another clinical investigation that could confound the results of this clinical investigation (e.g., clinical investigations involving intra-cardiac device)
  • Patient having a for cardiac pacing system implantation (i.e. patient implanted with a defibrillator, patient for whom a single dose of eluted by the pacing lead (e.g., dexamethasone sodium phosphate) is contraindicated, patient implanted with a tricuspid replacement heart valve, with prior tricuspid valve intervention or with a significant tricuspid valve disease that may lead to future replacement heart valve surgery)
  • Patient with a of less than 2 years
  • Minor age patient (i.e. under 18 years of age)
  • Incapacitated patient, under guardianship, kept in detention, refusing to cooperate or not able to understand the purpose of this clinical investigation
  • Non-menopausal women
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. LINEA lead complication free rate at 3 months

    Proportion of patients free from complication related to the LINEA lead. A complication is defined as a SADE with a probable or causal relationship to the LINEA lead which triggered an additional invasive intervention or resulted in patient death

    Time frame: 3 months after implantation

  2. LINEA lead pacing threshold amplitude at 3 months

    Mean ventricular pacing threshold amplitude

    Time frame: 3 months after implantation

Secondary outcomes

  1. Success rate of LINEA lead minimum sensed amplitude

    Proportion of patients with minimum sensed amplitude ≥ 5 mV

    Time frame: 3 months after implantation

  2. General performances of LINEA lead

    Pacing threshold amplitude, impedance and minimum sensed amplitude obtained with the LINEA lead at each patient's visit. LBB pacing threshold amplitude obtained with the LINEA lead during implantation, as well as the chronaxie measurement

    Time frame: Implantation, 72 hours from implantation, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 30 months and 42 months after implantation

  3. Safety of the LINEA lead

    LINEA lead complication free rate over time, calculated based on number of Adverse Events and Device Deficiencies related to the lead

    Time frame: Implantation, 72 hours from implantation, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 30 months and 42 months after implantation

  4. Safety of the FLEXIGO delivery catheter and the FLEXIGO slitter

    FLEXIGO catheter complication free rate, calculated based on number of Adverse Events and Device Deficiencies related to the catheter or the slitter

    Time frame: Implantation, 72 hours from implantation, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 18 months, 30 months and 42 months after implantation

  5. LINEA lead implantation success rates

    Proportion of LINEA leads implanted in the interventricular septum and meeting or not LBBAP criteria

    Time frame: Implantation

  6. Lead and delivery catheter implantation time

    Total procedural time and total fluoroscopic time of each implantation

    Time frame: Implantation

  7. LINEA lead and FLEXIGO delivery catheter and slitter implantation usability

    Handling scores based on a specific questionnaire (scale Very poor/Poor/Acceptable/Good/Very good)

    Time frame: Implantation

  8. Right Ventricular Autothreshold performances

    \- Accuracy - Comparison between the manual ventricular pacing threshold performed by a physician and the in-clinic ventricular pacing threshold provided by the RVAT function at the same pulse width and during the same on-site patient's visit

    Time frame: 3 months after implantation

  9. Evolution of LBBAP capture over time

    \- LBBAP capture evolution with analyses of ECGs (i.e. V6 R-wave peak time and V6-V1 interpeak interval) and LBBAP criteria collected

    Time frame: 18 months after implantation

Other outcomes

  1. Early outcome - Absence of Unanticipated Serious Adverse Device Effect (USADE) related to LINEA lead

    Proportion of patients free from USADE. Any event caused by use of the LINEA lead or any accessory packaged with the lead, will be considered as an ADE related to the LINEA lead. The endpoint evaluation will be based on an independent safety events adjudication from a Clinical Events Committee (CEC), based on investigational site reporting

    Time frame: 1 month after implantation

  2. Early outcome - LINEA lead pacing threshold amplitude at 1 month

    Mean ventricular pacing threshold amplitude

    Time frame: 1 month after implantation

  3. Early outcome - Other LINEA lead and FLEXIGO delivery catheter safety and performance

    \- Implantation success rate - Proportion of LINEA lead successfully implanted at the interventricular septum and fulfilling or not LBBAP success criteria according to the operator's decision

    Time frame: 1 month after implantation

  4. Early outcome - Other LINEA lead and FLEXIGO delivery catheter safety and performance

    \- Short term electrical performances variation - Pacing threshold variation between implantation and 1 month, and electrical performances of the LINEA lead (pacing threshold, impedance and minimum sensed amplitude)

    Time frame: 1 month after implantation

  5. Early outcome - Other LINEA lead and FLEXIGO delivery catheter safety and performance

    \- Complication free rate - Proportion of patients free from complication related to the LINEA lead. A complication is defined as a SADE with a probable or causal relationship to the LINEA lead which triggered an additional invasive intervention or resulted in patient death

    Time frame: 1 month after implantation

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

Started Jun 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jan 2027, 7 months after the start.

Of 36 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Bradycardia, half reached primary completion within 18 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 32. This study's planned 7 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 83 studies reached it within 21 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 38.

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 Sep 23, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
