What is being measured

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

  1. Late Adverse Event Incidence

    Late patient years are calculated from 31 days post-implant to the date of the last follow-up visits (or contact) or adverse events.

    Late Patient year calculation:[(Number of late adverse events/sum of late patient years) x 100]

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Characterize Patient NYHA Functional Classification Status

    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: 5 years

  2. Report the Hemodynamic Performance of the Valve

    Gradient is the pressure difference from one side of the valve to the other side of the valve. For this study pressure is measured in mmHg.

    Mean gradient for each patient is the average of the pressure differences from one side of the valve to the other side of the valve.

    Mean gradient for each valve size (19mm, 21mm, 23mm, 25mm, 27mm, 29mm)is the average of the mean gradient for each patient with that valve size.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Trifecta valve in people with Heart Valve Diseases, run by Abbott Medical Devices at 6 sites in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 15 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 6 sites in United States. 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 31 May 2017). 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?

Late Adverse Event Incidence (time frame: 5 years). 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 15 Feb 2019.
