NCT05855135

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that the OPTIMIZER® Integra CCM-D System (the "CCM-D System") can safely and effective convert induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) and spontaneous ventricular tachycardia and/or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) episodes in subjects with Stage C or D heart failure who remain symptomatic despite being on guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), are not indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and have heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤40%). Eligible subjects will be implanted with the CCM-D System. A subset of subjects will be induced into ventricular fibrillation "on the table" in the implant procedure room. During the follow-up period, inappropriate shock rate and device-related complications will be evaluated. The follow-up period is expected to last at least two years.

Study Arms (1)

CCM-D Implant

EXPERIMENTAL

The subject is implanted with the CCM-D device.

Device: OPTIMIZER® Integra CCM-D System (Treatment Arm)

Interventions

The CCM-D System is an implantable cardiac device system that combines cardiac contractility modulation and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) modules into one device. CCM-D is also known as a "Cardiac Contractility Modulation - Defibrillator". All 300 subjects will be implanted with the CCM-D System and followed for a period of at least two years.

  • Patients should not have severe AI or AS, and should not have MS; additionally, patients undergoing DE testing should not have severe MR;
  • Patients who have undergone mitral valve repair or clip within 90 days prior to study consent;
  • Cardiac surgery within 90 days or a PCI procedure within 30 days prior to study consent;
  • Prior heart transplant or ventricular assist device;
  • Implanted mechanical tricuspid valve;
  • PR interval greater than 375ms or advanced AV block;

  • Unstable angina pectoris within 30 days prior to study consent;
  • Pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study;
  • Participating in another cardiac investigational device or drug study at the same time (or within 30 days prior to study consent); Note: Registries and other observational studies are acceptable.
  • Other criteria that preclude Optimizer INTEGRA CCM-D implantation and/or CCM therapy, as determined by Investigator.
