About this trial

Sphere VT is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, unblinded pivotal clinical study. Adult subjects with recurrent, sustained, monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (MMVT) due to prior myocardial infarction (MI) will be enrolled and treated with the Sphere-9 Catheter and Affera Ablation System.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Prior myocardial infarction (MI).

At least one episode of sustained (continuous for >30 seconds or requiring ICD intervention for termination) monomorphic ventricular tachycardia within the 6 months prior to enrollment.

Recurrence of sustained ventricular tachycardia despite Class I or III antiarrhythmic drug therapy or ICD intervention.

Implanted with an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) or CRT-D for at least 2 months prior to the ablation procedure.

Disqualifiers

Incessant VT necessitating hemodynamic support prior to the ablation procedure.

Unstable polymorphic VT or ventricular fibrillation (VF).

Idiopathic VT or VT of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.

VT secondary to electrolyte imbalance, active thyroid disease, or any other reversible or non-cardiac cause (e.g., drug-induced arrhythmia).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Primary Safety

A pre-defined list of device- or procedure-related SAEs, as adjudicated by the Clinical Events Committee (CEC), occurring within 7 days after the index ablation procedure (or within 3 months after the index ablation procedure for any esophago-pericardial fistula/esophageal perforation) will be considered a primary safety event.

Time frame
As applicable, within 7 days or 3 months after the index ablation procedure
2

Primary Effectiveness

Freedom from recurrence of sustained monomorphic VT (MMVT) in the absence of new or increased dose of Class I or III antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) through 6 months after the index ablation procedure.

Time frame
Through 6 months after the index ablation procedure
