Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

  • * Inability to participate in all necessary study activities due to physical or mental limitations.
  • * Any circumstance in which the investigator deems participation in the study is not in the subject's best interest
  • * The following vital sign cut-off values, laboratory cut-off values and ECG reading will be monitored as the exclusion criteria in the biopsy visit and again before the implantation surgery BP systolic \>160 or \<90 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or diastolic \>100 or\<60 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) Pulse \<60 or \>105bpm Respiratory Rate \< 9 and \>20 Temp \> 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit Liver enzymes \>2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) Abnormal bilirubin unless subject has Gilbert's glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 60 mL/min/ 1.73 m2 by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) HbA1C \> 8% Hb \<10 mg/dL Platelet Count \<100,000 O2 saturation \<95%
