The recent clinical study update from Medtronic, titled ‘Dual-Site LV Pacing in CRT Non Responders Multicenter Randomized V3 Trial,’ aims to evaluate the clinical benefits of adding a second left ventricular (LV) lead in patients who do not respond to standard cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). This study is significant as it addresses the challenge of non-responders in heart failure treatment, potentially improving outcomes for this group.
The intervention being tested involves the use of an additional endocardial or epicardial LV lead, alongside the standard CRT-P or CRT-D devices. This dual-site LV pacing aims to enhance cardiac resynchronization in patients who have not benefited from traditional methods.
The study is designed as an interventional, randomized, parallel-assignment trial with a single-masked outcomes assessor. Its primary purpose is treatment-focused, aiming to determine the effectiveness of the additional LV lead in improving patient outcomes.
Key dates for the study include its start in September 2010, primary completion in 2016, and an estimated final completion by June 2025. The last update was submitted in June 2025, highlighting ongoing data collection and analysis.
Market implications for Medtronic could be significant if the study results demonstrate improved patient outcomes, potentially boosting investor confidence and stock performance. Competitors in the cardiac device industry will be closely monitoring these developments, as successful results could shift market dynamics.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
