  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients at least 18 years of age with symptoms of heart failure and anteroapical wall motion abnormality due to myocardial infarction.

Who may be able to join

  • Post MI structural heart dysfunction represented by left ventricular (LV) wall motion abnormality (WMA)
  • Symptomatic Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (EF) (≤ 40%)
  • Receiving stable medication for heart failure according to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Heart Failure (HF) Guidelines
  • >18 years of age
  • Provide written informed consent
  • Agree to the protocol-required follow-up

Who cannot join

  • Acute myocardial infarction (MI) of the left anterior descending territory within 90 days of enrollment or patients with suspected evolving MI at time of enrollment
  • Cardiogenic shock within 72 hours of enrollment
  • A known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, warfarin, nitinol (titanium and nickel alloy), or sensitivity to contrast media, which cannot be adequately pre medicated
  • Other hemodynamically structural heart interventions or heart failure device treatment at time of Parachute implant, e.g. mitral valve clip or cardiac resynchronization therapy).
  • Co-morbidities associated with a life expectancy of less than 12-months
  • Treatment Arm only (Control Arm excluded from this criteria): Anatomical characteristics not suitable for treatment with the Parachute Implant device as screened by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerized tomography (CT). (Characteristics include inappropriate size and shape of the left ventricle, pseudo chordae or trabeculations interfering with device placement.)

About this study

Official title: PARACHUTE V: PercutAneous Ventricular RestorAtion in Chronic Heart FailUre Due to Ischemic HearT DiseasE. A German Trial to Evaluate the Improvement in Quality of Life and Cardiac Output Following Implanting of the Parachute Implant System

Prospective, multi-center, post-market, non-randomized, nested-control, observational study of the CE marked CardioKinetix Parachute Implant System.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, multi-center, post-market, non-randomized, nested-control, observational study of the European Conformity Approved (CE marked) CardioKinetix Parachute Implant System. The primary objective is to establish quality-of-life and cardiac output benefit of the Parachute Implant of patients presenting with symptoms of heart failure due to ischemic heart disease. A maximum of 105 treated patients and approximately 25 control patients may be enrolled, with a maximum of 25 treated patients enrolled from any one center. The Primary Endpoint is an improvement of Quality of Life of patients treated with the Parachute Implant at 6 months compared to baseline using the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLWHF) Questionnaire. The Secondary Endpoint is an improvement in Stroke Volume Index (mL/m2) of patients treated with the Parachute Implant at post-procedure compared to pre-procedure.

What participants receive

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

  • Parachute Implant SystemDevice

    Also called Parachute Device

    The CardioKinetix Parachute Implant partitions an enlarged ventricle into dynamic and static chambers. The static chamber is a portion of the left ventricular volume that is taken out of circulation. Stresses placed on the partitioned myocardium and the forces transmitted to the apical segment are decreased both in diastole and systole, eliminating the forces responsible for left ventricular dilation. In addition to this regional unloading, the reduction in size of the dynamic chamber results in a decrease of the myocardial stress in the normal myocardium via Laplace Law, providing a global unloading of the ventricle.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Treated groupSubjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria listed and also are approved via anatomical inclusion criteria for treatment with the Parachute Implant System.
Receives: Device: Parachute Implant System
Control groupSubjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria listed and also are are excluded for treatment with the Parachute Implant System due to anatomical characteristics such as obstructing pseudochordae, calcification, or wall thickness.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quality of Life

    An improvement of Quality of Life of patients treated with the Parachute Implant at 6 months compared to baseline (day -1) using the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLWHF) Questionnaire.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Stroke Volume Index

    An improvement in Stroke Volume Index (mL/m2) of patients treated with the Parachute Implant at post-procedure compared to pre-procedure.

    Measured: 0 days (at implant)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure and Left Ventricular Dysfunction, run by CardioKinetix, Inc at 10 sites 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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites 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 was stopped early (reason given: Company closed). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Quality of Life (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 22 Jun 2017.
