Trial summary

Functional mitral insufficiency poses a challenge with regard to the optimal time of intervention, particularly because they are frequently associated with left ventricular (LV) dilation and reduced LV ejection fraction (EF). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Operative Mitralklappenrekonstruktion Bei Funktionellen Mitralklappenvitien Bei Reduzierter Systolischer Ventrikelfunktion

Functional mitral insufficiency poses a challenge with regard to the optimal time of intervention, particularly because they are frequently associated with left ventricular (LV) dilation and reduced LV ejection fraction (EF). The registry will document the underlying pathology by using transthoracal echo cardiography (TTE) with analysis of common tenting parameters. OP strategies, data and outcomes will be documented, as well as follow-up data for echocardiography, quality of life and MACCE outcomes after 6 months, 1 and 2 years.

Read the detailed description

Prospective enrolment of all patients with mitral valve insufficiency and restricted movement of leaflets during systole into a multicentric registry. Exact analysis of the underlying pathology using TTE with analysis of tenting parameters. In patients without contraindications, functional preoperative MRT to determine the functional reserve of ventricular function. Documentation of the quality of life of the patients using the SF12 questionnaire before and after intervention. Documentation of follow-up data (SF12, TTE, NT-pro BNP) at 6 months, 1 and 2 years. Development of operative strategies to improve long-term outcomes in patients with severe LV dilation (typically accompanied by function mitral insufficiency type IIIb).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mitral Valve Insufficiency and Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction, run by Institut für Pharmakologie und Präventive Medizin at 6 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 28 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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?

recurrent mitral valve insufficiency > grade 2 (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT03470155, 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 28 Sep 2023.
