OMNYPULSE Catheter + TRUPULSE Generator for Atrial Fibrillation
(Omny-IRE Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new system for treating paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), a condition where the heart beats irregularly, causing discomfort and health issues. The trial focuses on using an ablation system, which uses energy to scar heart tissue and stop faulty signals, targeting the area around the pulmonary veins. Participants with noticeable PAF symptoms who plan to undergo an ablation procedure are sought for this trial. The system under evaluation includes the OMNYPULSE Catheter and TRUPULSE Generator. As an unphased trial, it offers participants the chance to contribute to innovative research that could enhance future PAF treatments.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that this ablation system is safe for treating paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
Research has shown that the OMNYPULSE Catheter and TRUPULSE Generator are safe for treating atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat. In one study, all patients experienced immediate treatment success without serious problems. Another study found that the treatment remained effective and safe over a year. These results suggest that the treatment is generally well-tolerated by people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
The OMNYPULSE Catheter and TRUPULSE Generator stand out because they offer a more targeted and potentially efficient way to address atrial fibrillation by isolating the pulmonary veins using a bi-directional catheter combined with advanced energy delivery. Unlike traditional catheter ablation methods, which can be less precise, this combination aims to enhance the precision and effectiveness of the procedure, potentially resulting in better outcomes for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Researchers are excited because this could mean fewer complications and a quicker recovery time for patients compared to standard ablation techniques.
What evidence suggests that the OMNYPULSE Catheter and TRUPULSE Generator are effective for atrial fibrillation?
Research has shown that the OMNYPULSE Catheter and TRUPULSE Generator, used by participants in this trial, hold promise for treating paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), a type of irregular heartbeat. In one study, all patients had their irregular heartbeat corrected immediately during the procedure, achieving a 100% success rate. Additionally, 84.5% of patients maintained successful treatment over time, preventing future irregular heartbeats. This indicates the treatment is effective both immediately and in the long term. Importantly, the treatment also proved very safe, alleviating concerns about potential risks.12567
