Avoiding CIED (cardiac implantable electronic device) change out device procedures prior to transplant is desirable.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion:\n\n* Age ≥ 18\n* Advanced Heart Failure\n* Scheduled for Heartmate II LVAD implant\n* With existing ICD\n\nExclusion:\n\n-Age \\< 18'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01977703', 'briefTitle': 'Prospective Randomized Evaluation of an Ultra Conservative Approach to Implantable Defibrillator (ICD) Programming in Patients With a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD).', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Vanderbilt University Medical Center'}, 'officialTitle': 'Prospective Randomized Evaluation of an Ultra Conservative Approach to Implantable Defibrillator (ICD) Programming in Patients With a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD).', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '131336'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Traditional ICD Programming', 'description': 'ICD will be set to pre-LVAD settings post LVAD implant.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Traditional ICD Programming']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Ultra Conservative ICD Programming', 'description': 'ICD will be set to ultra conservative settings post LVAD implant.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Ultra Conservative ICD Programming']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Ultra Conservative ICD Programming', 'type': 'OTHER', 'armGroupLabels': ['Ultra Conservative ICD Programming']}, {'name': 'Traditional ICD Programming', 'type': 'OTHER', 'armGroupLabels': ['Traditional ICD Programming']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '37232', 'city': 'Nashville', 'state': 'Tennessee', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': 'Vanderbilt University', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 36.16589, 'lon': -86.78444}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Christopher Ellis, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Vanderbilt University'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Vanderbilt University Medical Center', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Thoratec Corporation', 'class': 'INDUSTRY'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Assistant Professor', 'investigatorFullName': 'Christopher Ellis', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'Vanderbilt University Medical Center'}}}}
