About this study

Official title: Perceval Sutureless Implant Versus Standard-Aortic Valve Replacement A Controlled Randomized Trial in the Surgical Treatment of Aortic Valve Disease

Prospective, randomized, stratified non blinded multi-center, international, post market trial assessed in a non-inferiority study.

The trial has a flexible sample size that will be determined adaptively. The trial will enroll up to 1234 subjects, but accrual may stop earlier at approximately 900 or 1050 subjects These subjects will be enrolled at approximately 60 worldwide investigational sites where the device is commercially available The primary objective of this trial is to test the safety and efficacy of Perceval versus standard sutured stented bioprosthetic aortic valves among the intended trial population.

Read the detailed description

PERSIST-AVR is designed to collect data on sutureless valve (Perceval sutureless aortic heart valve), a new type of biological aortic valve, comparing data with standard biological aortic valve, considered the gold standard for aortic valve replacement. This prospective, randomized international multicenter study is planned to demonstrate, as primary endpoint, the non inferiority of Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular (MACCE) events at one year while showing superiority in resource consumptions at hospital discharge in patients treated with Perceval valve when compared to standard aortic valve replacement. The study is planned to cover the lack of prospective, randomized comparison data between sutureless valve and standard aortic biological sutured valve. The trial has a flexible sample size that will be determined adaptively. The trial will enroll up to 1234 subjects, but accrual may stop earlier at approximately 900 or 1050 subjects. These subjects will be enrolled at approximately 60 worldwide investigational sites where the device is commercially available. The primary endpoint will be reached at 1 year FU and, consequently, the planned primary analysis will be performed 12 months following the end of accrual.

The be part of the trial, investigational sites should have demonstrated experience with the implantation of the Perceval and able to implement the requirements of the study protocol.. All subjects with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis or steno-insufficiency who are candidates for surgical replacement of their native aortic valve according to established guidelines in current medical practice and as specified in the Perceval valve Instruction for Use (IFU) are the intended population for inclusion in this randomized trial.

What participants receive

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

  • Perceval valveDevice

    Sutureless Aortic Biological Valve

  • other stented biological valveDevice

    Any biological stented valves available on the market (Edwards, Medtronic, St.Jude, LivaNova, Labcor)

Study groups in NCT02673697
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PercevalExperimentalThe Perceval sutureless aortic heart valve (Perceval valve) is a bioprosthesis manufactured with bovine pericardium and assembled on a Nitinol stent. The Perceval valve is designed to offer an alternative to surgically implanted flexible prostheses (stented and stentless biological valves). A special feature of the device is that it is self-anchoring and does not require sutures to be fixed to the implant site.
Receives: Device: Perceval valve
other Stented biological valvesActive comparatorThe comparator will be other commercially approved standard biological sutured stented valves, both bovine and porcine. The choice of the comparator tissue valve will be at the discretion of the participating investigators.
Receives: Device: other stented biological valve

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of Participants With Freedom From Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE)

    The primary endpoint is freedom from MACCE (composite endpoint of all cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and valve re-intervention) at one year based on Clinical Event Committee (CEC) adjudication.

    Measured: 1 year post-operatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Surgical Times

    1. Cross clamp time during index procedure
    2. Cardiopulmonary bypass time during index procedure

    Start time and finish time were collected for operative room time procedure and calculated for each subject. Mean was calculated and reported in the results sections

    Measured: Intra-operative
