  • Ages 22 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • All Candidates must meet the following criteria:
  • Patient has severe calcific native mitral valve stenosis with mitral annular calcification with echocardiographically derived mitral valve area (MVA) of ≤1.5 cm2, or severe mitral regurgitation with severe mitral annular calcification and at least moderate mitral valve stenosis. Qualifying echo must be within 60 days of the date of the procedure.

Specifically, the STS score is ≥15% or the probability of death or serious, irreversible morbidity is ≥ 50%. The surgeons' consult notes shall specify the medical or anatomic factors leading to that conclusion and include a printout of the calculation of the STS score to additionally identify the risks in the patient (some medical factors and definitions are provided below). At least one of the cardiac surgeon assessors must have physically evaluated the patient. All patients must be approved by the Patient Selection and Procedure Management Steering Committee (at least 2 member votes, one must be a cardiac surgeon).

About this study

Official title: The Safety and Feasibility of the SAPIEN XTTM Transcatheter Heart Valve With NovaFlex and Ascendra Delivery Systems and SAPIEN 3 With Commander Delivery System in Patients With Symptomatic Severe Calcific Mitral Valve Disease With Severe Mitral Annular Calcification and Patients With Failing Mitral Surgical Rings or Bioprostheses Who Are Not Candidates for Mitral Valve Surgery.

The purpose of this trial is to establish the safety and feasibility of the Edwards SAPIEN XT™and SAPIEN 3™ device and delivery systems in patients with severe symptomatic calcific mitral valve disease with severe mitral annular calcification who are not candidates for standard mitral valve surgery.

Read the detailed description

Design:

A prospective pilot study enrolling extremely high surgical risk patients with symptomatic severe calcific mitral valve disease undergoing implantation of an Edwards Sapien XT or SAPIEN 3 valve in the mitral position.

There are three arms in this study evaluating three separate patient populations described below:

  • Native Mitral Valve with severe Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC): Patients with symptomatic severe disease of a native mitral valve due to severe mitral annular calcification.
  • Valve-in-Ring: Patients with symptomatic failing surgical rings resulting in severe mitral regurgitation or stenosis.
  • Valve-in-Valve: Patients with failing bioprosthetic surgical valves with severe regurgitation or stenosis

The delivery approaches include: standard transeptal, modified transeptal approach with a guidewire externalized through a sheath percutaneously placed in the left ventricle, surgical trasnapical and surgical transatrial delivery approach with or without surgical resection of the anterior mitral valve (MV) leaflet (in the native mitral valve arm).

The MITRAL Trial site investigative team (heart team) consists of dedicated representatives from cardiac surgery, interventional cardiology, echocardiology, neurology, study coordination and other multi-disciplinary team members consistent with a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) model.

Endpoints

Most endpoints were defined following the Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium (MVARC) recommendations with minor modifications.73

The primary safety endpoint is: technical success at exit from the cath lab

  • Technical success (at exit from the cath lab) is defined as:
  • Successful vascular and/or TA access, delivery and retrieval of the transcatheter valve delivery system
  • Deployment of a single valve
  • Correct position of transcatheter valve in the mitral annulus
  • Adequate performance of the prosthetic heart valve (mean mitral valve gradient (MVG) <10 mmHg) without residual mitral regurgitation (MR) grade ≥2 (+)
  • No need for additional surgery or re-intervention (includes drainage of pericardial effusion)
  • The patient leaves the cath lab alive

The primary performance endpoint is: absence of MR grade 2 (+) or greater or mean MVG ≥10 mmHg at 30 days and 1 year.

Secondary safety endpoints include: Procedural success and all -cause mortality at 30 days and 1 year.

  • Procedural Success (30 days) in defined as:
  • Device success at 30 days
  • No device/procedure related severe adverse event (SAE's) including: death, stroke, MI or coronary ischemia requiring PCI or CABG, stage 2 or 3 AKI including dialysis, life threatening bleeding, major vascular or access complications (arterial, venous, or TA - any event requiring additional unplanned surgical or transcatheter intervention), pericardial effusion or tamponade requiring drainage, severe hypotension, heart failure or respiratory failure requiring intravenous pressors or invasive or mechanical treatments such as ultrafiltration or hemodynamic assist devices including intra-aortic balloon pump or left ventricular assist device, or prolonged intubation for ≥48 hrs, or any valve-related dysfunction, migration, thrombosis, or other complication requiring surgery or repeat intervention.
  • Device success is defined as:
  • Stroke free survival with original valve in place
  • No need for additional surgery or re-intervention related to the procedure, access or to the replacement valve
  • Proper placement and intended function of the replacement valve, including
  • No migration, fracture, thrombosis, hemolysis or endocarditis
  • No replacement valve stenosis (MV gradient < 10 mmHg)
  • Replacement valve regurgitation < 2 + (including central and paravalvular leak) and without associated hemolysis
  • No increase in AI from baseline (more than 1 grade) and LVOT gradient < 20 mmHg increase from baseline

Additional secondary safety and effectiveness endpoints will be evaluated at two time points: (1) acute, covering events occurring out to 30 days or hospital discharge, whichever is longer; and (2) longer-term, covering events from 31 days to 1 year, and include the following:

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement in people with Mitral Valve Disease, run by Mayra Guerrero at 15 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 16 inclusion and 27 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 10 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 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 16 Aug 2021). 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?

Technical Success at Exit From the Cath Lab. (time frame: 30 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02370511, which also lists 12 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 10 Oct 2023.
