About this study

Official title: TransCatheter Aortic Valve Implantation and Fractional Flow Reserve-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Versus Conventional Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement and Coronary By-Pass Grafts for Treatment of Patients with Coronary MultiVessel Disease and Aortic Valve Stenosis

The trial objective is to investigate whether Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and TransCatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) strategy for treatment of multivessel disease and aortic stenosis will be non-inferior to Coronary Artery By-pass Grafting (CABG) and Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR) for a composite primary endpoint of all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary or valve re-intervention and life-threatening or disabling bleeding at one year.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, randomized, controlled, open label, multicenter, international, non-inferiority trial

If the Heart Team decides that a coronary revascularization and aortic valve replacement is needed and the patient complies with inclusion and exclusion criteria then the patient will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion between FFR-guided PCI + TAVI and CABG + SAVR.

Patients will receive optimal medical treatment at discharge. Follow-up will be performed at 30 days and at one year. During the 30 day follow-up visit (after TAVI) patients will be evaluated for symptoms of angina.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FFR-guided PCI and TAVI and CABG and SAVR in people with Aortic Stenosis and Multi Vessel Coronary Artery Disease, run by Maatschap Cardiologie Zwolle at 20 sites in 10 countries.

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 15 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 9 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in Netherlands, France, Austria, Poland, Spain and 5 more countries. 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?

The primary endpoint is a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, disabling stroke, unscheduled clinically-driven target vessel revascularization, valve re-intervention, and life threatening or disabling bleeding at one year (time frame: one year). 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 NCT03424941, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 9 Jan 2025.
