About this study

The clinical investigation is designed as a prospective and non-randomised study on a maximum of 150 patients. This study will be conducted at Investigational Centres in the European Community. A minimum number of 8 European Centres will be involved in the clinical investigation. A minimum of 15 patients will be enrolled at each Investigational Centre. The clinical follow-up requires evaluations at discharge (or 30 days if the patient is still hospitalized), 3-6 and 12 months following the procedure.The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to assess the performance of the Perceval S valve at 3-6 months after implantation in high surgical risk patients, who require a surgical intervention to replace the aortic valve.

Read the detailed description

The design of the Perceval S prosthesis stems from the intention to offer an alternative to traditional flexible prostheses (stented and stentless biological valves) using conventional open-heart surgery. As a result of the sutureless implant procedure, in fact, patients could benefit from:

Reducing aortic clamp times, with subsequent overall reduction of surgical timing and therefore reduction in related risks; Avoiding to pass the stitches through the annulus and sutures knotting, with consequent less risk of tearing aortic annulus and wall, damaging the bundle of His, embolizing foreign material in the vascular system.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aortic valve replacement with Perceval aortic heart valve in people with Aortic Valve Replacement, run by Corcym S.r.l at 9 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of the safety of the Perceval S prosthesis in terms of percentage incidence of mortality and morbidity at 3-6 months after implant (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jul 2022.
