About this study

This investigation will be conducted as an interventional intention-to-treat clinical study in a population of end stage heart failure patients who meet specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The multi-center study will be prospective, dual-armed, non-blinded (open-label) and randomized, comparing a treatment group receiving the Jarvik 2000 LVAS with Post-Auricular Connector to an active control group treated with the PMA approved Thoratec HeartMate® II LVAS for Destination Therapy.

Read the detailed description

Study Success for Primary Endpoint A will be established if the proportion of subjects in the Treatment Group meeting the Subject Success Criteria A, is determined to be non-inferior to that of the Control Group (at two years) according to the pre-specified statistical analysis.

Subject composite success requires the subject to achieve the Effectiveness Endpoint:

  1. Two year actuarial survival
  2. Freedom from procedures to repair, or replace the implanted device
  3. Freedom from stroke resulting in a Modified Rankin Score of >3 at the two-year follow-up

Study Success for Primary Endpoint B will be established if the proportion of subjects in the Treatment Group meeting the Subject Success Criteria B is determined to be superior to that of the Control Group (at three years) according to the pre-specified statistical analysis.

Subject composite success requires the subject to achieve the Effectiveness Endpoint:

  1. Three year survival
  2. Freedom from the serious adverse event of drive cable or pump pocket infection

What is being measured

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

  1. Non-inferiority to Control Group.

    Study Success for Primary Endpoint A will be established if the proportion of subjects in the Treatment Group meeting the Subject Success Criteria A, is determined to be non-inferior to that of the Control Group (at two years) according to the pre-specified statistical analysis.

    Subject composite success requires the subject to achieve the Effectiveness Endpoint:

    1. Two year actuarial survival
    2. Freedom from procedures to repair, or replace the implanted device
    3. Freedom from stroke resulting in a Modified Rankin Score of >3 at the two-year follow-up

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Serious adverse events

    Serious adverse events

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Quality of life measures: Questionnaire

    Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. There are 23 items. Scores from 0-100 in which a higher score indicates better quality of life.

    Measured: 2 years
