If this is close to home

This page includes language about advanced illness, prognosis, or palliative care, because that is how the trial's eligibility criteria are written. Seeing it set out plainly can land hard, whether it is about you or about someone you are caring for. You do not have to be at a crisis point to talk to someone.

Palliative care is not the same as giving up on treatment, and it is not only for the last weeks of life. It is symptom and comfort care that can run alongside active treatment, including a clinical trial.

The official eligibility criteria

Registry text, reproduced exactly. These are the words the trial's sponsor published on ClinicalTrials.gov. They have not been edited, shortened or rewritten, and they are written for researchers rather than for patients.

Inclusion criteria:

1. Class I or Class II indication for ventricular pacing (VVI/VDD) according to applicable guidelines

2. Age is greater than or equal to 18 years at time of consent

3. Able to understand the nature of the study and provide written informed consent

4. Able and willing to complete all study requirements, including completion of all planned in-office study visits, for the expected duration of follow-up

Exclusion criteria:

1. AV block with a ventricular escape rhythm ≤ 30 bpm at time of consent Note: Restriction removed after early safety phase objectives are met

2. Femoral venous anatomy that is unable to accommodate the introducer or the cardiac anatomy does not allow a leadless pacemaker in the right ventricle

3. Morbid obesity which may prevent the LivIQ device from obtaining telemetry communication within a range of 20 cm, in the physician's judgement

4. Intolerance of dexamethasone acetate

5. Other implanted devices that, in the judgement of the implanting physician, could interfere (mechanically or electrically) with the leadless pacemaker or with the implant procedure

6. Allergy to the materials of the leadless pacemaker or the implant tools that are in contact with the human body

7. Prior leadless pacemaker implant attempt

8. Existing transvenous or leadless pacemaker, transvenous or subcutaneous ICD, or CRT device or previous extraction in which transvenous leads (full or partial) were left in the heart Note: Exception given to use temporary transvenous pacemakers

9. CIED device extraction within the previous 72 hours or signs of active infection after CIED extraction Note: Patients with extraction due to potential systemic infection must have a blood culture. A blood culture is considered negative if there is no growth within 72 hours prior to the LivIQ implant.

10. Planned ICD or CRT device implant

11. Unstable angina pectoris or acute myocardial infarction within 30 days prior to enrollment

12. Life expectancy of less than 12 months

13. Unable to tolerate an urgent sternotomy

14. Planned right-sided heart intervention within 30 days after implant Note: Exception given to AV nodal ablations when performed by an implanting investigator once early safety phase objectives are met

15. Listed for or has received a heart transplantation or has a left ventricular assist device (LVAD)

16. Participation or plan to participate in any other potentially confounding investigational drug or device trial, or any other clinical trial that may interfere with this study's treatment or protocol during the duration of the study Note: Co-enrollment in concurrent trials is only allowed when documented prior approval is obtained from BIOTRONIK

17. Unable to attend in-person planned or emergent study site visits (e.g., frequent or extended travel plans)

18. Pregnant or plan to become pregnant during the duration of the study

AVS Sub-Study Inclusion Criteria:

After consenting to the main study, patients potentially eligible for the AVS Sub-Study must meet these additional criteria:

1. Willing and able to perform the requested procedures for the AVS assessments

2. Current or history of AV block Note: This includes patients with any degree or type of AV block, irrespective of related symptoms and relevance of the AV block for the underlying pacemaker indication

AVS Sub-Study Exclusion Criteria:

After consenting to the main study, patients potentially eligible for the AVS Sub-Study must not meet the following criterion:

1\. Permanent AF

Voxsanity reformats data from public registries into this layout. It does not edit, interpret or add to what the registry published.

Not medical advice.

Individual trial records are refreshed on a rolling basis rather than all at once, so a record may be up to several weeks old. Each trial page and trial card shows the date its own record was last synced. Where a record has lagged, its status, sites and enrolment can differ from the current registry state in either direction, so check the registry link on the trial page before acting on them.
