Conduction system pacing vs biventricular resynchronization therapy in systolic dysfunction and wide QRS: mortality, heart failure hospitalization or cardiac transplant (CONSYST-CRT II trial).
Superiority trial that aims to study the composite endpoint consisting of all-cause mortality, cardiac transplant or heart failure hospitalization at 12-month follow-up.
To date, studies have shown that conduction system pacing could get similar clinical and echocardiographic responses to those obtained with biventricular therapy.
This study will randomize 320 patients to a strategy of biventricular pacing versus conduction system pacing.
CONSYST-CRT II study will analyze a clinical endpoint as primary endpoint and the following parameters in both groups: left ventricular ejection fraction, ventricular volumes, echocardiographic response (>=15% decrease in left ventricular end-systolic volume), NYHA functional class, heart failure hospitalization, all-cause mortality, cardiac transplant, QRS shortening, echocardiographic dyssynchrony (atrioventricular, interventricular, intraventricular) and global longitudinal strain.
As a secondary endpoint, baseline predictors of response to conduction system pacing and biventricular pacing according to cardiac magnetic ressonance and electrocardiographic imaging will be studied.
Clinical, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic follow-up will be performed during 12 months.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conduction system pacing | Experimental | Pacing the His-Purkinje system. Crossover to biventricular pacing allowed in case of failed conduction system pacing: failed His bundle pacing and failed Left bundle branch pacing (high thresholds (>3.5V / 1ms); no left bundle branch pacing criteria; no left bundle branch correction). Electrocardiographic optimization allowed in order to obtain the narrowest QRS. |
|
| Biventricular pacing | Active Comparator | Pacing from the right ventricular and coronary sinus lead. Electrocardiographic optimization with fusion-optimized intervals (FOI). Crossover from biventricular pacing to conduction system pacing will be allowed in the following situations: coronary sinus cannot be cannulated; no lateral or posterolateral branches; or phrenic stimulation. |

The first 130 patients have been recruited in the context of the CONSYST I study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05187611).
It is planned to perform an interim analysis (intermediate analysis) for the primary endpoint in all randomized patients who received intervention. The formal limits of stopping the study will be determined by the limits of futility and effectiveness defined by the rules of sequential stopping using the O'Brien-Fleming method. The interim analysis will be performed with a sample recruitment of 50%. Members of the Data Monitoring Committee, but not any trial investigator, will be informed of the results of the interim analysis. A p of 0.0054 (two-sided alpha) will be required for the interim analysis and 0.049 in the final analysis.

Left ventricular volumes measured with echocardiography. Simpson rule from 2- and 4-chamber apical views.
| 6 months; 1 year |
| Echocardiographic response. | >=15% decrease in left ventricular end-systolic volume | 6 months; 1 year |
| Change in NYHA functional class. | NYHA functional class I, II, III, or IV | 6 months; 1 year |
| QRS shortening. | QRS duration (milliseconds). QRS onset measured from fast deflection and from spike. | Immediately after the intervention |
| Correction of septal flash. | Fast inward-outward movement of the interventricular septum in early systole. Using M-mode in parasternal short and long-axis views, septal flash was quantified (in millimeters) as the highest amplitude of the early inward motion measured from the resting position prior to the onset of septal contraction. The pair of septal flash measures (baseline and final) was obtained at the axis with the highest baseline SF. | 15 days; 6 months; 1 year |
| Correction of auriculoventricular dyssynchrony. | Left ventricular filling time. The left ventricular filling time was measured from the onset of the E-wave to the end of the A-wave, and the R-R interval was measured to calculate the percentage of filling time relative to the cardiac cycle (LV filling time/RR, %). | 15 days; 6 months; 1 year |
| Correction of interventricular dyssynchrony. | Quantified using pulsed Doppler and calculated as the time difference between QRS onset and the onset of the flow wave in the right and left outflow tracts. | 15 days; 6 months; 1 year |
| Change in global longitudinal strain (GLS). | Strain myocardial deformation of the left ventricle was quantified offline from 2-dimensional echocardiography using speckle tracking (2Dstrain, Echo Pac, version 202.41.0, GE Healthcare Milwaukee, WI). The long-axis cine images (2-, 3-, and 4-chamber views), were used to determine GLS. | 15 days; 6 months; 1 year |
