Stratos LV/LV-T Technical Manual 39

The gender distribution in this clinical investigation was consistent within the study groups and included a representative proportion of enrolled female participants (57.2% versus 42.7% male). There were no significant differences in the primary safety or effectiveness endpoints between the male and female population.

1.7.2 Stratos LV Clinical Study – OVID study

The OVID clinical study collected significant safety data supporting the Stratos LV/LV-T CRT-P system.

Study Design

BIOTRONIK conducted the Corox Over-the-Wire Lead Evaluation (OVID) prospective registry outside the United States (OUS) of the Corox OTW Steroid LV lead in a multi-center trial with legally marketed CRT-D and CRT-P pulse generators that provide biventricular pacing therapy. Data from this registry is presented in the following sections to support the safety of the Stratos LV CRT-P.

The multi-center investigation was designed to validate the safety of the Corox OTW Steroid LV lead through a comparison of successfully implanted LV leads against a pre-defined success rate threshold, when no anatomical restrictions prevent access to the coronary sinus. The evaluation of safety is based on the analysis of the incidence of adverse events, defined as any complications or observations judged by the investigator to be in probable relationship with Corox OTW Steroid LV lead system. Additionally, the effectiveness of the leads was evaluated using lead parameter data, including sensing amplitudes, pacing thresholds, and impedance values.

In the OVID study, enrolled patients could be implanted with any legally marketed CRT-P or CRT-D device. There were 121 patients enrolled in the OVID clinical study, and 89 patients were implanted with a Stratos LV device.
