What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. All Cause Mortality

    Number of participants that reported all cause mortality

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Select Cardiovascular Adverse Events

    Number of participants with select cardiovascular adverse events

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Participant NYHA Classification at Day 30

    The New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification system relates symptoms to everyday activities and the patient's quality of life.

    Class I. Patients with cardiac disease but without resulting limitation of physical activity.

    Class II. Patients with cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest.

    Class III. Patients with cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest.

    Class IV. Patients with cardiac disease resulting in inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of heart failure or the anginal syndrome may be present even at rest.

    The Criteria Committee of the New York Heart Association. Nomenclature and Criteria for Diagnosis of Diseases of the Heart and Great Vessels. 9th ed. Boston, Mass: Little, Brown \& Co; 1994:253-256.

    Measured: day 30

  3. Number of Participants With Acute Device Success

    1. Successful vascular access, delivery and deployment of the device and successful retrieval of the delivery system
    2. Correct position of the device in the proper anatomical location
    3. Intended performance of the prosthetic heart valve (Aortic Valve Area >1.2 cm2 and mean aortic valve gradient <20 mmHg or peak velocity <3 m/s, without moderate or severe prosthetic valve AR)
    4. Only one valve implanted in the proper anatomical location

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in people with Symptomatic Aortic Stenosis, run by Abbott Medical Devices at 14 sites in 5 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 10 inclusion and 40 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 4 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Germany, United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, Netherlands. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Apr 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

All Cause Mortality (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01493284, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 4 Feb 2019.
