Rationale and Design of the InsightPFA Trial: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial of the Irreversible Electroporation-Based Pulsed Field Ablation Versus Radiofrequency Ablation in Chinese Patients With Symptomatic Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Background
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is gaining recognition as a nonthermal, tissue-specific technique for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). The preclinical evaluation of the investigated novel PFA system from Insight Medtech Co. Ltd has demonstrated feasibility, safety, and 30-day efficacy for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in the swine model. We are currently conducting a randomized controlled trial to compare the PFA directly with ablation-index (AI)-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for PVI.
Methods and Results
The InsightPFA trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial to compare the effectiveness and safety of PFA versus RFA for PVI in Chinese patients with symptomatic paroxysmal AF. Two hundred and ninety-two patients diagnosed with symptomatic paroxysmal AF will be randomly assigned to either the PFA group or the RFA group in a 1:1 ratio. All subjects will undergo PVI using PFA or AI-guided RFA and be followed up to 12 months. The primary endpoint is defined as freedom from any episodes of AF/AFL/AT without Class I or III antiarrhythmic drugs during the 9-month follow-up period after a 90-day blank period. The secondary endpoints of effectiveness include acute treatment success and procedural data. The safety evaluation includes a composite of death, stroke and transient ischemic attack, procedure-related complications, device-related adverse events, and serious adverse events. A noninferiority comparison will be conducted between the novel PFA system and the existing RFA system in terms of both effectiveness and safety.
Conclusions
This trial aims to determine whether the InsightPFA for PVI is as effective and safe as standard RFA in the treatment of symptomatic paroxysmal AF.
