Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Functional Mitral Valve Regurgitation (FMR) of moderate to severe grade (2 to 4 as per the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association 2006 Classification of Mitral regurgitation evaluation)

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of the Basal Annuloplasty of the Cardia Externally (BACE™) [Basal Annuloplasty of the Cardia Externally] Device in the Treatment of Functional Mitral Valve Regurgitation [FMR]

The preclinical and clinical evidence of safety and efficacy with the BACE device (concept and feasibility) paved the way for the evaluation of the BACE device in this prospective, multi-center, single-arm, self-controlled study for safety and efficacy in the treatment of functional MR in a maximum of 60 adult subjects.

The primary efficacy endpoint will be reduction of MR grade to 1+ or less from the baseline MR grade through the 6 month study period. Primary safety endpoint will be freedom from major device and surgery-related adverse events for the duration of the 6 month follow up period. Patients will be followed up to two years.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the BACE device for the treatment of FMR.

Secondary objective is to assess the ease of deployment of the BACE device Study Population: Since this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a new device, with no control arm or comparator, the number of subjects enrolled will be a maximum of 60.

Approximately 8-10 sites are expected to be included in the study. The subject population is adults of 18 to 80 years of age, either gender, with FMR as specified in the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in MR grade to MR grade 1+ or less

    Reduction in Mitral Valve Regurgitation (MR) grade to MR grade 1+ or less after the implantation of the BACE Device as measured by echocardiography.

    Measured: Two years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Durability of or improvement in MR grade over the follow-up period as measured by echocardiography; profiles of the grades in MR based on ECHO at each time point will be plotted for each subject with description of individual percentage change

    Durability of or improvement in MR grade over the follow-up period as measured by echocardiography

    Measured: Two years

  2. Improvement in cardiac functionality as assessed by the NYHA functional class

    Improvement in cardiac functionality as assessed by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class

    Measured: Two years

  3. Improvement in cardiac functionality as assessed by the 6-minute walk

    Improvement in cardiac functionality as assessed by the 6-minute walk

    Measured: Two years

  4. Improvement in cardiac functionality

    Improvement in cardiac functionality as assessed by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire

    Measured: Two years

  5. All device and surgery-related averse events

    All device and surgery-related averse events (listed above) and other adverse events over the course of the study will be tabulated

    Measured: Two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BACE Device in people with Functional Mitral Regurgitation, run by Phoenix Cardiac Devices, Inc..

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 7 inclusion and 23 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Reduction in MR grade to MR grade 1+ or less (time frame: Two years). 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 16 Sep 2020.
