About this study

Official title: POP Study: Plasty or Prosthesis to Treat Functional Mitral Regurgitation in Low Ejection Fraction Patients; a Randomized Prospective Controlled Study

Functional Mitral regurgitation is a now well known entity due to tethering of the valve either mono-lateral, as happens in lateral myocardial infarction, or bilateral as happens in dilated cardiomyopathy. Treatment of this pathology, either conserving the valve and addressing regurgitation by mean of restrictive annuloplasty, or implanting a prosthesis remains controversial in terms of mid and long term benefit for the patient. The investigators propose a randomized controlled study to compare the efficacy of both technique in terms of mortality and freedom from reintervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Plasty and Prosthesis in people with Functional Mitral Regurgitation, run by Cardiochirurgia E.H. at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Mortality (time frame: 1 year of follow up after discharge from hospital). 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 26 Jan 2018.
