About this study

The objective of this study, is to assess the safety and performance of an interatrial shunt when implanted in patients with severe chronic heart failure.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, non-randomized, open label, single-arm multi-center study assessing the performance and safety of the V-Wave inter-atrial unidirectional shunt when implanted in chronic heart failure patients with both reduced and preserved ejection fraction.

The V-Wave Interatrial Unidirectional Shunt is designed to enable blood flow in a controlled manner from the left atrium to the right atrium in heart failure patients where clinical sequelae such as symptomatic pulmonary congestion due to high left atrial filling pressure is common.

The objective of this study, is to assess the safety and performance of the V-Wave System when implanted in patients with severe chronic heart failure.

In addition, this study is designed, in-part, to collect a portion of the clinical data needed in support of a US FDA pivotal IDE study application to be submitted at a later date.

Up to 70 subjects with chronic ACC/AHA Stage C, NYHA functional class III or ambulatory class IV heart failure (HF), with reduced or preserved LV ejection fraction, who have a history of hospitalization for worsening HF or elevated ambulatory levels of BNP/NT-proBNP, in the setting of maximally tolerated guideline-directed HF drug and device therapy, will be enrolled in the study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • V-WaveProcedure or surgery

    The V-Wave shunt implantation procedure is a standard femoral venous access and inter-atrial septal puncture intervention. The shunt is placed through the Fossa Ovalis.

Study groups in NCT02511912
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
V-WaveExperimentalThis is a single arm study, all eligible patients will receive the V-Wave implantable shunt. The V-Wave device is implanted via standard femoral venous access and inter-atrial septal puncture intervention and is placed through the Fossa Ovalis.
Receives: Procedure: V-Wave

What is being measured

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

  1. Freedom from study-related Major Adverse Cardiac and Neurological Events (MACNE)

    MACNE is defined as the hierarchical composite of death, stroke, myocardial infarction, systemic embolic event or the requirement for surgical removal of the Study Device.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing V-Wave in people with Chronic Heart Failure, run by V-Wave Ltd at 1 site in Israel.

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 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2019. 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 Israel. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Freedom from study-related Major Adverse Cardiac and Neurological Events (MACNE) (time frame: 6 months). 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 10 Oct 2019.
