NCT01781078

Brief Summary

The objective of the SAMURAI Clinical Study is to collect data to confirm the safety, performance and effectiveness of the ImageReady System for use in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) environment when used in accordance with the Conditions of Use included in the Boston Scientific MRI Technical Guide

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Proportion of Participants Without MR Scan-related Complications

    The primary safety endpoint for SAMURAI will be assessed for all subjects randomized to the MRI Group who undergo any portion of the MRI scan sequences. Safety will be confirmed by evaluating the MRI scan-related Complication-free rate (CFR) between the MR Scan and the MRI Visit + 1 Month Visit.

    MRI Visit + 1 Month

  • Success Rate for Threshold Measurement at 1 Month Post-MRI Scan or Control Group Visit

    The MRI scan can result in damage to cardiac tissue surrounding lead electrodes due to RF field-induced heating, which in turn may cause elevated pacing thresholds. Primary Effectiveness Endpoint 1 will evaluate any chronic effects from lead heating that will be seen through increased pacing threshold at the MRI Visit + 1 Month follow-up. Subjects with an increase in pacing thresholds s 0.5V (at 0.5 ms) from pre-MR Scan/Control Group visit to MRI/Control visit + 1 Month follow-up were considered a success. A success rate was calculated for both the MRI and the Control Groups.

    MRI + 1 Month Visit

  • Success Rate for Sensed Amplitude Measurement at 1 Month Post-MRI Scan or Control Group Visit

    The MRI scan can result in damage to cardiac tissue surrounding lead electrodes due to Radiofrequency (RF) field-induced heating. Primary Effectiveness Endpoint 2 will evaluate any chronic effects from lead heating that will be seen through decreased sensed amplitude at the MRI Visit + 1 Month follow-up. Data were analyzed separately by chamber, Right Atrium (RA) and Right Ventricle (RV), for this endpoint.

    MRI + 1 Month Visit

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of Participants Without ImageReady System-related Complications

    3 months post implant

Study Arms (2)

MRI Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Those subjects randomized to the MRI Group will undergo a study-specific MRI scan 6-9 weeks post-implant.

Radiation: MRIDevice: ImageReady System implant

Control Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Those subjects randomized to the Control Group will not undergo s study-specific MRI scan. All follow-up time requirements are the same for the two groups.

Device: ImageReady System implant

Interventions

MRIRADIATION

The study-specified MRI scan includes RF- and gradient-intensive sequences designed to test the ImageReady System in the MR environment

Also known as: MR Scan
MRI Group

Pacemaker and lead(s) implant

Also known as: Single chamber pacemaker implant, Dual chamber pacemaker implant, Pace/ Sense pacemaker lead implant
Control GroupMRI Group

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subject must have the ImageReady System as their initial (de novo) pacing system implant
  • Subject has a Class I or II indication for implantation of a single or dual chamber pacemaker according to the ACC/AHA/HRS, or ESC guidelines, as appropriate per geography
  • Subject is able and willing to undergo an MRI scan without intravenous sedation
  • Subject is willing and capable of providing informed consent (which can include the use of a legally authorized representative (LAR) for documentation of informed consent) and participating in all testing/ visits associated with this clinical study at an approved clinical study center and at the intervals defined by this protocol
  • Subject is age 18 or above, or of legal age to give informed consent specific to state and national law

You may not qualify if:

  • Subject has or has had any pacing or ICD system implants
  • Subject has any MR Unsafe implants or devices with an unknown MR status, including MR Unsafe sternal wires, neurostimulators, biostimulator, metals or alloys, per labeling of each implant
  • Subject has any MR Conditional implants or devices that impact the ability to conduct this protocol
  • Subject needs or will need another MR scan within 14 weeks of system implant, other than that required by the SAMURAI Study
  • Subject has a known or suspected sensitivity to dexamethasone acetate (DXA)
  • Subject has a mechanical tricuspid heart valve
  • Subject is enrolled in any other concurrent study, with the exception of local mandatory governmental registries and observational studies/registries\* that are not in conflict and do not affect the following:
  • Schedule of procedures for the SAMURAI Study (i.e. should not cause additional or missed visits);
  • SAMURAI Study outcome (i.e. involve medications that could affect pacing thresholds);
  • Conduct of the SAMURAI Study per GCP/ ISO 14155:2011/ local regulations
  • Subjects with documented permanent or persistent AF where the physician intends to implant a dual chamber pulse generator (single chamber VVIR pulse generators are acceptable)
  • Subject is currently on the active heart transplant list
  • Subject has documented life expectancy of less than 12 months
  • Women of childbearing potential who are or might be pregnant at the time of study enrollment or ImageReady MR Conditional Pacing System implant (method of assessment upon physician's discretion)
  • Subjects currently requiring dialysis
