Confirmatory Clinical Trial of the Evera MRI System for Conditionally-safe MRI Access

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Implantable Defibrillator
Interventions
Device: MRI scan sequences of the head and chest regions
Other: Waiting Period Visit
Registration Number
NCT02117414
Lead Sponsor
Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure
Brief Summary

The purpose of the Evera MRI™ study is to confirm safety and efficacy of the Evera MRI ICD (Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) System in the clinical MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) environment when subjects receive MRI scans without positioning restrictions (MRI scans may occur anywhere on the body).

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status
COMPLETED
Sex
All
Target Recruitment
275
Inclusion Criteria
  • Subjects who are indicated for implantation of an ICD at the time of study enrollment.
  • Subjects who are able to undergo a pectoral implant.
  • Subjects who are receiving an ICD for the first time.
  • Subjects who are able and willing to undergo elective MRI scanning without sedation.
  • Subjects who are geographically stable and available for follow-up at the study site for the length of the study.
  • Subjects who are at least 18 years of age (or older, if required by local law).
Exclusion Criteria
  • Subjects with a history of significant tricuspid valvular disease .
  • Subjects for whom a single dose of 1.0mg dexamethasone sodium phosphate and/or dexamethasone acetate may be contraindicated.
  • Subjects who require a legally authorized representative to obtain informed consent.
  • Subjects undergoing device upgrades, change-outs, lead extractions, and/or lead or device revisions.
  • Subjects with abandoned or capped leads.
  • Subjects who require an indicated MRI scan, other than those specifically described in the Evera MRI™ study, before the one-month post-MRI/waiting period follow-up (approximately 4 months post-implant).
  • Subjects with a non-MRI compatible device (such as neurostimulators) or material implant (e.g., non-MRI compatible sternal wires, neurostimulators, biostimulators, metals or alloys).
  • Subjects with medical conditions that preclude the testing required by the study protocol or limit study participation.
  • Subjects who are enrolled or intend to participate in another clinical trial (of an investigational drug or device, new indication for an approved drug or device, or requirement of additional testing beyond standard clinical practice) during the Evera MRI™ study. Co-enrollment in concurrent trials is only allowed when documented pre-approval is obtained from the Medtronic study manager.
  • Female patient who is pregnant, or of childbearing potential and not on a reliable form of birth control. Women of childbearing potential are required to have a negative pregnancy test within seven (7) days prior to device implant.
  • Subjects with exclusion criteria required by local law (e.g., age, breastfeeding).

Study & Design

PARALLEL
Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
MRI GroupMRI scan sequences of the head and chest regionsSubjects randomized to the MRI group will undergo a series of MRI scans at the MRI visit (9-12 weeks post-implant).
Control GroupWaiting Period VisitSubjects randomized to the Control group will wait for 1 hour without having a series of MRI scans at the waiting period visit (9-12 weeks post-implant).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
MRI-related EventsMRI procedure to 1-month post-MRI

Number of patients free of MRI-related events. Events include MRI-related complications, sustained tachyarrhythmia, and MRI-related loss of pacing ability.

Ventricular Pacing Capture Threshold (VPCT)Pre-MRI/Waiting Period visit to 1-month post-MRI/Waiting Period visit

Number of successful patients, where success is defined as not increasing VPCT by more than 0.5V from pre-MRI/waiting to one month post.

Ventricular Sensing Amplitude (R-wave)Pre-MRI/Waiting Period visit to 1-month post-MRI/Waiting Period visit

Number of successful patients who do not experience a decrease in ventricular sensing amplitude of \>50% from the pre-MRI/waiting period to the one month post-MRI/waiting period, or a one month post-MRI/waiting value \<3mV accompanied by a decrease of \>25% from the pre-MRI/waiting period to the one month post-MRI/waiting period.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
System-related ComplicationsImplant to 4 months post-implant

Number of subjects free of a system-related complication. The system includes the ICD and lead(s) attached to it.

RV Defibrillation Impedance1-month post-MRI/Waiting Period visit

Number of subjects whose RV defibrillation impedance at the one-month post-MRI/waiting period visit is between 20 and 100 ohms

Superior Vena Cava (SVC) Defibrillation Impedance1-month post-MRI/Waiting Period visit

Number of subjects whose SVC defibrillation impedance at the one-month post-MRI/waiting period visit is between 20 and 100 ohms

Atrial Pacing Capture Threshold (APCT)Pre-MRI/Waiting Period visit to 1-month post-MRI/Waiting Period visit

Number of successful patients, where success is defined as not increasing APCT by more than 0.5V from pre-MRI/waiting to one month post.

Atrial Sensing AmplitudeMRI/waiting visit to 1-month post-MRI/Waiting visit

Number of successful patients, where success is defined as not decreasing atrial sensing amplitude by more than 50% from pre-MRI/waiting to one month post.
