Boston Scientific is conducting a study titled ‘Safety and Effectiveness of Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing Versus Conventional Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Heart Failure.’ The study aims to compare two heart pacing methods for treating heart failure: the standard Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) and the experimental Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing (LBBAP). This research is significant as it may redefine treatment protocols for heart failure patients.
The interventions being tested are devices designed to improve heart function. The CRT involves a Quadripolar LV lead, while the LBBAP uses an INGEVITY+ pace/sense lead implanted in the Left Bundle Branch Area. Both devices aim to enhance cardiac performance in heart failure patients.
The study is interventional, with participants randomly assigned to either the CRT or LBBAP group. It follows a parallel intervention model with single masking, where only participants are unaware of the group allocation. The primary purpose is to treat heart failure effectively.
The study was first submitted on June 23, 2025, and the latest update was on October 2, 2025. These dates mark the study’s progression and readiness to recruit participants, indicating its ongoing status.
This study update could influence Boston Scientific’s stock performance positively, as successful results may enhance their market position in cardiac devices. Investors should watch for developments, especially considering competition in the heart failure treatment market.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
