What is being measured

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

  1. Procedural Success

    The placement of at least one neochord using the DS1000 System AND a reduction in mitral regurgitation <= 2+ at the time of the procedure AND maintained MR reduction of <= 2+ at 30 days

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Procedural Safety

    the rate of Major Adverse Events (MAE) defined as a combined endpoint of: death, MI, reoperation for failed surgical repair, non-elective cardiovascular surgery to treat an adverse event, procedural ventilation > 48 hours, procedure-related transfusion of > 2 units blood product, stroke, renal failure, deep wound infection, new onset of permanent AF, and septicemia, through 30 days.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NeoChord DS1000 Artificial Chordae Delivery System in people with Mitral Valve Regurgitation, run by NeoChord at 8 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 25 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Germany, Italy, Denmark, Lithuania. 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?

Procedural Success (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 NCT01777815, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Sep 2014.
