Brief summary

Prospective, multi-center, randomized, single blind study

Detailed description

This clinical investigation compares success rates for anatomically placed leads to conventional, targeted lead placement for BurstDR™ during the trial evaluation period with the St Jude Medical™ Invisible Trial System. Subjects will be blinded to treatment group and randomized in a 1:1 ratio as follows: Group 1 (AB): anatomic lead placement followed by BurstDR™ stimulation during an initial trial evaluation period Group 2 (TB): targeted lead placement followed by BurstDR™ stimulation during an initial trial evaluation period If the subject qualifies for permanent system implant according to pre-defined criteria after the initial trial evaluation period, the subject will exit the clinical investigation and continue their treatment per the physician's standard of care. Subjects who do not qualify for permanent system implant according to pre-defined criteria after the initial trial evaluation period may participate in an extended trial evaluation period, per physician discretion, during which they will be programmed with tonic stimulation. Subjects continuing to an extended trial evaluation period will be followed through the completion of the extended trial period. At the end of the extended trial evaluation period, subjects will exit the clinical investigation.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

The subject enrollment for the DELIVERY study began on 22 September 2017, at 23 clinical sites in the United States, Europe, and Australia. A total of 270 subjects were randomized into the two treatment groups (Anatomic Lead Placement and Targeted lead placement).

Pre-assignment details

A total of 288 subjects were screened, of which 18 subjects were withdrawn before randomization due to unmet inclusion/exclusion criteria (n=6), withdrawal of the consent (n=11) and subject was on the clinic's wait list to receive an implant only after the study closed (n=1). The last follow-up visit occurred on 27 August 2018.
