Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The QP ExCELs study is designed to confirm safety and efficacy of the BIOTRONIK Sentus OTW QP left ventricular leads to satisfy FDA requirements for regulatory approval of the leads in the US. The Sentus OTW QP leads received FDA approval on May 4, 2017.

Long-term safety of the BIOTRONIK Sentus OTW QP left ventricular leads will be confirmed during the ongoing post approval phase (US sites only).

A protocol update was implemented on September 6, 2019 to transition the long-term follow up for the ongoing Sentus QP Study to a new EP PASSION real-world data methodology.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Sentus QP Related Complication-free Rate Through 6 Months [6 months]

      The purpose of primary endpoint 1 is to evaluate the Sentus QP related complication-free rate through 6 months post-implant. This is evaluated as a percentage of participants without a complication.

    2. Percentage of Participants With Acceptable Pacing Threshold of Sentus QP Lead in Permanently Programmed Vector at 3 Months [3 months]

      The purpose of primary endpoint 2 is to evaluate the LV lead pacing threshold for the permanently programmed pacing vector at 3 months post-implant.This was evaluated by performing an exact, binomial test comparing the percentage of participants with acceptable pacing thresholds to a performance goal of 88%. LV threshold values of less than or equal to 2.5 V at 0.4 ms in the permanently programmed vector are considered acceptable.

    3. Sentus QP Related Complication-free Rate [Up to 4 years]

      The purpose of primary endpoint 3 is to evaluate the Sentus QP related complication-free rate through study termination (post approval phase). This is evaluated as a percentage of participants without a complication.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Sentus QP Acceptable Pacing Threshold in Permanently Programmed Vector at 3 Months Per Lead Model [3 months]

      The purpose of the secondary endpoint is to evaluate the LV lead pacing threshold for the permanently programmed pacing vector at 3 months post-implantation in the two different lead types, Sentus OTW QP L and Sentus OTW QP S. This was evaluated as the number of participants with an acceptable pacing threshold out of the total number of patients for each lead model. LV threshold values of less than or equal to 2.5 V at 0.4 ms in the permanently programmed vector is considered acceptable.

    2. Sentus QP Acceptable Pacing Threshold in Novel Vectors at 3 Months [3 months]

      The purpose of this secondary endpoint is to evaluate the number of participants with at least one acceptable LV lead pacing threshold in a novel pacing vector at 3 months post-implantation. This was evaluated as the number of participants with at least one acceptable LV pacing threshold in a novel pacing vector out of the total number of participants with completed novel pacing threshold testing. LV threshold values of less than or equal to 2.5 V at 0.4 ms in a novel pacing vector is considered acceptable.

    3. Sentus QP Acceptable R-wave Sensed Amplitude at 3 Months Per Lead Model [3 months]

      The purpose of this secondary endpoint is to evaluate acceptable LV lead sensing amplitude at 3 months post-implantation. This was evaluated as the number of participants with an acceptable LV sensing amplitude out of the total number of participants. R-wave sensed mean amplitude of greater than or equal to 2 mV is considered acceptable.

    4. Sentus QP Acceptable Pacing Impedance at 3 Months Per Lead Model [3 months]

      The purpose of this secondary endpoint is to evaluate the acceptable LV lead pacing impedance at 3 months post-implantation. This was evaluated as the number of participants with an acceptable LV pacing impedance out of the total participants. LV impedance values of greater than 200 Ohms and less than 2000 Ohms is considered acceptable.

    5. Sentus QP Time to Complication [6 months]

      The purpose of this secondary is to evaluate the Sentus related complication-free rate through 6 months post-implant by the Kaplan-Meier method. The below table shows Kaplan-Meier estimates of the estimated freedom from Sentus related complications at 180 days.

    6. Sentus QP Related Complication-free Rate Per Lead Model [Up to 4 years]

      The purpose of secondary endpoint 7 is to evaluate the Sentus QP related complication-free rate through study termination (post approval phase). This is evaluated as percentage of participants without a complication per lead model.

    7. Individual Sentus QP Adverse Event Rates [Up to 4 years]

      The purpose of secondary endpoint 8 is to evaluate the rate of individual types of adverse events related to the Sentus QP lead through study termination (post approval phase). This is evaluated as the percentage of participants with a specific adverse event out of the total participants.

    8. Number of Participants Successfully Reprogrammed to Resolve Phrenic Nerve Stimulation or High Pacing Threshold [12 months]

      The purpose of this secondary endpoint is to evaluate the number of participants in whom phrenic nerve stimulation or high LV pacing threshold was be successfully resolved by reprogramming of the LV pacing vector. This is evaluated as the number of participants with successful reprogramming out of all participants experiencing phrenic nerve stimulation or high LV pacing threshold. LV pacing threshold resulting in invasive intervention, or, in the absence of intervention, a lead threshold that has increased two fold from the chronic threshold value, and is unable to achieve a 2:1 safety margin at follow-up is considered a high LV pacing threshold.

    Other Statistical Analysis On September 24, 2019, BIOTRONIK received FDA approval to transition the ongoing Sentus Post Approval Registry to a new EP PASSION real-world data methodology. As of study closure, the number of subjects with complete data required to perform the hypothesis test was not met. Therefore, this outcome measure was not analyzed.

    11. Secondary Outcome
    Title Number of Participants Successfully Reprogrammed to Resolve Phrenic Nerve Stimulation or High Pacing Threshold
    Description The purpose of this secondary endpoint is to evaluate the number of participants in whom phrenic nerve stimulation or high LV pacing threshold was be successfully resolved by reprogramming of the LV pacing vector. This is evaluated as the number of participants with successful reprogramming out of all participants experiencing phrenic nerve stimulation or high LV pacing threshold. LV pacing threshold resulting in invasive intervention, or, in the absence of intervention, a lead threshold that has increased two fold from the chronic threshold value, and is unable to achieve a 2:1 safety margin at follow-up is considered a high LV pacing threshold.
    Time Frame 12 months

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    All participants in the Pre-Market cohort, defined as the study participants who were consented and implanted with a Sentus QP LV lead on or before January 29, 2016, and whom experienced phrenic nerve stimulation or high LV pacing threshold.
    Arm/Group Title Sentus QP Left Ventricular Lead
    Arm/Group Description Participants consented and implanted with a Sentus QP left ventricular lead and CRT-D.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Though study exit or study termination, an average of 1.2 years, and up to 4 years
    Adverse Event Reporting Description According to the study protocol, sites were required to report all deaths and all adverse events that were considered related to the implant procedure, implanted pulse generator, or implanted leads. Adverse events determined to be not related to the implant procedure, implanted pulse generator, or implanted leads were not collected. Reported adverse events were defined as a serious or 'other' adverse event according to the clinicaltrials.gov definition.
