About this trial

Prospective, randomised, multicentre, open-label study to assess the non-inferiority of a personalised precision strategy for Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) prevention in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy with Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≤35%

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years at the time of screening.

Previously established diagnosis of Non-ischemic DCM

Optimised medical treatment at maximum tolerated doses for at least 3 months prior to the screening date.

NYHA functional class II-III.

Disqualifiers

History of coronary artery disease justifying the presence of ventricular dysfunction, defined as: history of coronary revascularisation or presence of significant coronary stenosis (≥50% in left main or ≥70% in a major epicardial artery) on invasive or non-invasive coronary angiography (coronary CT)

Left ventricular dysfunction attributed to congenital heart disease, valvular disease, alcohol abuse or chemotherapy.

Hypertrophic or infiltrative cardiomyopathy, active myocarditis or constrictive pericarditis.

History of recovered sudden death or sustained ventricular tachycardia.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Control Strategy

    Other intervention

    ICDs will be implanted in all patients according to current recommendations

  • Personalized precision ICD implantation Strategy based in genetic findings and CMR results

    Other intervention

    Patients allocated to the intervention strategy will receive an ICD according to genetic and CMR results. ICD implantation criteria in patients allocated to the personalised strategy group will be the presence of either a DCM-causing pathogenic or likely pathogenic genetic variants or LGE in CMR. Patients without DCM-associated genetic variants and without LGE on CMR will not receive standard treatment but an ICD will not be implanted on them.
