  • No healthy volunteers
  • Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • 75 years of age or older

  • Aortic valve annular diameter ≥ 21 and ≤23mm measured by MSCT
  • An STS score ≥10; or Logistic EuroScore I ≥ 15; or a determination by one cardiovascular surgeon and one cardiologist that the co-morbidities not captured by the STS or EuroScore expected to increase the operative mortality risk to > 15%.
  • Geographically available, willing to comply with follow up and able to provide written informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Congenital unicuspid or bicuspid aortic valve, or noncalcified aortic valve; or valve eccentricity (calcific or otherwise) that in the opinion of the investigator could compromise procedural success.

Show all 26Show fewer
  • LVEF < 30%

  • Severe pulmonary hypertension with pulmonary systolic pressure greater than two-thirds of systemic pressure
  • Hemodynamic instability requiring inotropic drug therapy within the past 14 days or mechanical support within the past 6 months*
  • Untreated clinically significant coronary artery disease requiring revascularization
  • Presence of significant aortic disease such as atheroma, thrombus, or aneurysm which, in the opinion of the investigator, precludes safe implant delivery
  • Blood dyscrasias defined as: acute leukopenia, acute anemia, acute thrombocytopenia, history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy
  • Patient ineligible for or refuses blood transfusions
  • Unfavorable peripheral vascular anatomy or disease (e.g. severe obstructive calcification, severe tortuosity or small vessels) that would preclude passage of catheters from the femoral arterial access to the aorta as evidenced by peripheral MSCT
  • Active peptic ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding within the past 90 days*
  • Stroke or transient ischemic attack within past 6 months*
  • Renal insufficiency as demonstrated by a serum creatinine > 2.5 mg/dL or end stage renal disease requiring chronic dialysis
  • Active infection requiring ongoing treatment
  • Need for emergent surgery or intervention other than the investigational procedure
  • Any therapeutic invasive cardiac procedure performed or planned to perform within 30 days of the index procedure, (or 6 months for drug eluting coronary stent or biventricular pacemaker implantation)*
  • Hypersensitivity or contraindication to procedural medication and device materials (e.g. titanium, nickel, pork) which cannot be adequately pre-medicated
  • Life expectancy < 1 year due to non-cardiac co-morbid conditions
  • Currently participating in any investigational drug or device studies that may confound the results of this study
  • History of any cognitive or mental health status that would interfere with study participation
  • ""At the time of procedure, if a subject's medical status has changed since enrollment, the subject shall be re-evaluated for eligibility.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Performance Endpoint 1: Procedural Device Performance

    The primary performance endpoint is the Device Success defined as:

    • Absence of procedural mortality AND
    • Correct positioning of a single HLT Valve into the proper anatomical location AND
    • Intended performance of the HLT Valve (no prosthesis- patient mismatch and mean aortic valve gradient < 20 mmHg or peak aortic valve velocity < 3 m/sec, AND no moderate or severe aortic valve regurgitation)

    Measured: Post procedure (day of procedure)

  2. Primary Safety Endpoint 2: Mortality at 30 days

    The primary safety endpoint is all-cause mortality at 30 days.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Secondary Performance Endpoint 1: Post-procedural Valve Performance

    The HLT Valve performance will be evaluated by the following parameters with echocardiograms obtained at pre-discharge, 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months:

    • Aortic valve effective orifice area (EOA)
    • Severity of aortic valve regurgitation (AR)
    • Aortic valve gradient

    Measured: pre-discharge (up to 14 days), 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months

  2. Secondary Safety Endpoint 2: Adverse Events

    All adverse events will be assessed throughout the 5 year follow up period

    Measured: throughout the 5 year follow up period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HLT Transcatheter Aortic Valve System in people with Severe Aortic Stenosis and Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by HLT Inc. at 1 site in Germany.

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 6 inclusion and 26 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 29 Apr 2021. 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 Germany. 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?

Primary Performance Endpoint 1: Procedural Device Performance (time frame: Post procedure (day of procedure)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Apr 2021.
