  • NYHA Functional Class > II
  • Multidisciplinary heart team (cardiologist and cardiac surgeon) consensus that the transapical approach is the most suitable access route for TAVI due to the presence of the following anatomic conditions:
  • porcelain aorta or

About this study

Official title: ACURATE Neo™ Aortic Bioprosthesis for Implantation Using the ACURATE Neo™ TA Transapical Delivery System in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis

The purpose of this investigation is to collect data pertaining to the safety and performance of the ACURATE neo (TM) Aortic Bioprosthesis as implanted with the ACURATE neo (TM) TA Transapical Delivery System. This device is intended for treatment of subjects with severe aortic stenosis (AS) who have high risk for conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery. The ACURATE neo (TM) Aortic Bioprosthesis is intended for use via minimally-invasive transapical implantation in a well-defined population.

Read the detailed description

This is a single arm, prospective, multicenter non randomised and open trial of the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis where conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) via open heart surgery is considered to be high risk. All patients will be followed up to 5 years after the intervention.

The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and performance of the study device in patients presenting with severe aortic stenosis considered to be high risk for surgery Secondary objective is to evaluate adverse events and study device performance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ACURATE neo™TA Delivery System in people with Aortic Stenosis, run by Symetis SA at 7 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 14 inclusion and 31 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 23 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Primary Safety: freedom from all-cause mortality (time frame: 6 months post procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02950428, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Feb 2023.
