About this study

Official title: Medtronic CoreValve Evolut R United States Clinical Study (Evolut 34R Addendum)

The study objectives are to assess the safety and efficacy of the CoreValve Evolut 34R transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) system in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who are considered at high or extreme risk for surgical aortic valve replacement.

Read the detailed description

This objective will be accomplished by a prospective, single arm, historical controlled, multi-site study involving up to 60 implanted subjects at up to 15 study sites in the United States. Procedural and 30 day safety and efficacy results from this study will be compared to appropriate historical control data for the Medtronic CoreValve System. Subjects will be followed up to 5 years following implantation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CoreValve Evolut 34R TAVR system in people with Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by Medtronic Cardiovascular at 10 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 5 inclusion and 36 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 3 May 2023. 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 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 29 Dec 2017). 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?

Percentage of Participants With All-cause Mortality (time frame: 30 Days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 3 May 2023.
