Mode Evaluation in Sick Sinus Syndrome Trial (MODEST)

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of atrial fibrillation and heart failure in patients with pacemaker therapy with different pacing modes (AAI, DDD, and a novel algorithm to minimize ventricular pacing).

Clinical Trial Description

Background: Dual-chamber pacemaker therapy has become the mainstay for treating symptomatic sick sinus syndrome (SSS). This approach aims to results in a physiologic conduction pattern, while protecting against atrioventricular conduction anomalies. Smaller studies and subgroup analyses of larger trials suggest that ventricular stimulation associated with this treatment has adverse effects, especially an increased incidence of atrial fibrillation and heart failure.

Methods: In MODEST, a study on patients with sick sinus syndrome who have an indication for pacing therapy, atrial pacing (AAI) is compared with dual-chamber pacing (DDD) combined with a novel algorithm developed to lower the number of ventricularly paced beats. The study aims to assess the impact of ventricular pacing on the development of atrial arrhythmias and to test the hypothesis that DDD pacing using the algorithm is associated with a higher rate of atrial arrhythmias as atrial pacing. Included will be patients with SSS and no high degree AV node disease except for patients with first-degree AV block ≤300ms. Patients will be followed stratified by their Wenckebach point (≥ 120 bpm versus < 120 bpm).

Conclusion: MODEST is a large, prospective, randomized, multicenter trial aiming to compare a novel type of dual-chamber pacing approach (that includes an algorithm designed to lower the number of ventricularly paced beats) with pure atrial pacing, assessing the impact on the incidence of atrial arrhythmias in patients with sick sinus syndrome. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
