About this study

Official title: Medtronic's MOSAIC Bioprosthesis Versus Baxter Carpentier-Edwards SAV Porcine Valve: A Longterm Prospective Randomized Clinical Evaluation

The study compares the clinical performance of the Mosaic valve with that of the Baxter valve (Carpentier-Edwards) which is widely used throughout the UK and is considered to be the "bench mark".

Specific objectives will be to determine structural failure and valve explantation rates, thromboembolic events and mortality rates for each valve.

Haemodynamic assessments will also be made using echocardiography to measure gradients across the valves and changes in left ventricular function and wall thickness.

Read the detailed description

The bioprostheses (xenografts) to be used in this study are third generation valves derived from porcine aortic valves. The chief advantage over mechanical prostheses is that they do not require lifelong anticoagulation with warfarin with its attendant risks of haemorrhage if the patient becomes over anticoagulated, or thromboembolism if anticoagulation is inadequate. However their disadvantage is that they are prone to calcification and mechanical failure over time. Because of this, bioprosthetic valves are usually reserved for older patients in whom the chance of repeat surgery is reduced.

The Medtronic Mosaic stented bioprosthesis has been recently introduced. The Mosaic bioprosthesis utilizes Physiological Fixation (root fixation with zero pressure differential across the valve leaflets). This allows valves to maintain their natural leaflet structure and root geometry. The Mosaic bioprosthesis uses the AOA anti-mineralisation treatment. Developed in collaboration with Biomedical Design, Inc., AOA has been shown in multiple animal studies to be an effective treatment in preventing leaflet calcification.

Baxter currently produces the Carpentier Edwards SAV porcine bioprosthesis that has abundant long-term follow-up data and is widely used. Low pressure fixation (less than 1.5mmHg) and anti-mineralisation treatment with FET 80TM are used in its preparation. The stent (which supports the cusps) has been designed to allow for the wider opening angle of the softer leaflets.

These features aim to improve on the haemodynamic performance of earlier generation valves and offer the potential for increased durability. Early results look promising with excellent haemodynamic parameters and remarkably low rates of structural failure.

If zero pressure fixation and anti-mineralisation treatment can be shown to increase the longevity of the bioprosthetic valve, the age criteria for implantation will undoubtedly be lowered allowing a younger cohort of patients to benefit from anticoagulation-free therapy and freedom from associated morbidities.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality

    Early mortality was defined as death occurring within 30 days of implantation if the patient was discharged from hospital or at any time after implantation if the patient was not discharged from hospital. Hospital-to-hospital transfer was not considered as discharge. Late mortality was defined as all deaths that occurred after 30 days of implant, if the patient was discharged from hospital.

    The reporting of mortality and morbidity follows the guidelines of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS), the American Association of Thoracic Surgeons (AATS) and the European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery (EACTS).

    Measured: 10 years

  2. Freedom from structural valve deterioration (SVD)

    Defined as re-operation and thromboembolic events. Valve-related complications were defined as thromboembolism, structural valve dysfunction, non-structural valve dysfunction and prosthetic valve endocarditis.

    Measured: 10 years

  1. Haemodynamic performance (mmHg)

    Measured: 10 years

  2. Left ventricular (LV) mass regression (grams)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Carpentier-Edwards SAV bioprostheses and Medtronic Mosaic bioprostheses in people with Cardiac Valve Replacement, run by University Hospital Plymouth NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 17 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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?

Mortality (time frame: 10 years). 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 NCT03346044, 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 17 Nov 2017.
