Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients over the age of 21 with moderate to severe, functional (ischemic or dilated cardiomyopathies) mitral regurgitation or mitral regurgitation caused by dilation of the mitral annulus who qualify for mitral valve repair

Who may be able to join

  • Patients moderate to severe, symptomatic functional (ischemic or dilated cardiomyopathies) mitral regurgitation or mitral regurgitation caused by dilation of the mitral annulus who qualify for mitral valve repair with cardiopulmonary bypass
  • Mitral regurgitation must meet the following criteria:
  • The primary regurgitant jet is central, originating from mal coaptation of anterior and posterior leaflets of the mitral valve.
  • If a secondary jet is present, the jet must be considered clinically insignificant.
  • Women of child-bearing potential have a negative pregnancy test

Who cannot join

  • Evidence of severe mitral annular and leaflet calcification.
  • Patient is hemodynamically unstable.
  • Patient has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and has systolic anterior motion of the leaflets.
  • Patient requires emergency surgery.
  • Patient has echocardiographic evidence of endocarditis or rheumatic heart disease.
  • Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE) is contraindicated or cannot be performed intraoperatively for any reason.
Show all 16Show fewer
  • Patient has known chronic, dialysis-dependent renal failure.
  • History of stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) or reversible ischemic neurological disease within the last three (3) months.
  • History of gastrointestinal bleeding within the last three (3) months.
  • History of hypersensitivity or allergy to aspirin
  • History or hypersensitivity to clopidogrel (Plavix) or its congeners.
  • Active or treated malignancies in the last twelve (12) months.
  • Patient is participating in another clinical study for which follow-up is currently ongoing.
  • Women of child-bearing age who have not had a negative pregnancy test.
  • Patient with non-cardiac co-morbidities and life expectancy < 1 year.
  • Patient has a condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, precludes participation, including willingness to comply with all follow-up procedures.

About this study

Official title: HRT Observational Study of a Mitral Bridge in Patients With Moderate to Severe Mitral Valve Regurgitation to Evaluate Device Safety and Performance

Prospective, observational, multi-center trial in which patients with mitral regurgitation sufficient to merit mitral valve repair will receive a surgical transvalvular, intra-annular Mitral Bridge™ to reduce or eliminate mitral regurgitation.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Mitral Bridge device in the correction of mitral valve regurgitation in patients who qualify for mitral valve repair as defined by the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE). The device is a single use, mitral valve implant designed to reduce mitral regurgitation by reducing the septo-lateral mitral annular diameter, promoting early coaptation of the valve leaflets and restraining the leaflets below the intra-annular plane.

The protocol was designed as a First In Man (FIM) with a 6-month follow up but was amended to follow the enrolled patients for a total of 5 years.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HRT Mitral Bridge Mitral Valve RepairDevice

    Surgical mitral valve implant intended to reduce mitral regurgitation by direct reduction of the septo-lateral mitral annular diameter, promoting early coaptation of the valve leaflets and restraining the leaflets below the intra-annular plane

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical Success

    • Freedom from subsequent open mitral valve repair or replacement

    Measured: One, 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Preservation or improvement of left ventricular remodeling

    Change in Left Ventricular status

    Measured: One, 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months

  2. Preservation of improvement in NYHA (New York Heart Association) functional class.

    Change in NYHA (New York Heart Association) functional class.

    Measured: One, 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mitral Regurgitation, run by Heart Repair Technologies, Inc. at 1 site in Czechia.

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 16 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2020. 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 Czechia. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Could not enroll enough patients and ran out of $$ to manufacture more devices). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Clinical Success (time frame: One, 3, 6,12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months). 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 NCT03511716, 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 8 Oct 2020.
