Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Conditions
Brief summary
Clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Adagio AF Cryoablation System (iCLAS™) in the ablation treatment of symptomatic, persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF). Data will be used to support a pre-market application (PMA)
Detailed description
A staged pre-market, single-arm, clinical study designed to collect acute and long-term safety and efficacy data for the Adagio AF Cryoablation System (iCLAS™). Patient population will consist of symptomatic, persistent AF subjects completing a de novo ablation procedure. Enrollment will be 200 subjects at up to 20 global investigational sites. Subjects will receive an ablation with the ultra-low cryoablation device. Follow-up will include assessment at one, three, six, and twelve months.

Intervention model description
Symptomatic persistent atrial fibrillation that failed at least one class I or Class III AAD with no prior history of ablation

| Analysis of the Proportion of Subjects Who Are Free From Device/Procedure Related Major Adverse Events (MAEs) That Occur Following the Cryoablation Procedure | 12-months | Analysis of the proportion of subjects who are free from device/procedure related Major Adverse Events (MAEs) that occur following the cryoablation procedure. MAEs include any of the following: * Death * Myocardial infarction * Cardiac perforation/pericardial tamponade * Cerebral infarct or systemic embolism * Major bleeding requiring transfusion of blood products * Mitral or tricuspid valve damage * Symptomatic pulmonary vein stenosis * Severe (≥ 70%) pulmonary vein stenosis * Permanent phrenic nerve injury * Access site complications requiring pharmacological or surgical intervention * Atrio-esophageal fistula * Pericarditis * Heart block requiring a permanent pacemaker * Vagal nerve injury with GI dysmotility * Other serious adverse device effects (SADEs), including TIAs, adjudicated by an independent Clinical Events Committee (CEC) as "probably or definitely related" to the Adagio System |
| Analysis of the Proportion of Subjects Receiving a Single Cryoablation Who Are Free From Any Documented Left Atrial Arrhythmia (AF/AFL/AT) Following the Blanking Period Lasting Longer Than 30 Seconds on a Continuous 24-hour ECG Recording (Holter Monitor). | 12-months | Analysis of the proportion of subjects receiving a single cryoablation who are free from any documented left atrial arrhythmia (AF/AFL/AT) following the Blanking Period lasting longer than 30 seconds on a continuous 24-hour ECG recording (Holter monitor). The primary effectiveness endpoint will be based on a centralized core lab interpretation of the recordings used in the endpoint analysis. |
