About this study

Official title: Prospective, Controlled, Single-arm Clinical Investigation for the Treatment of Subjects With Severe Symptomatic Aortic Valve Stenosis Using Valvosoft® Pulsed Cavitational Ultrasound Therapy (PCUT) - First-In-Man

This is a prospective, controlled, single-arm clinical investigation for the treatment of subjects with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis using Valvosoft® Pulsed Cavitational Ultrasound Therapy (PCUT) - First-In-man

Read the detailed description

CARDIAWAVE has developed a new non-invasive, real-time image-guided, therapeutic approach to treat patients suffering from Calcified Aortic Stenosis. CARDIAWAVE's Valvosoft device is a new ultrasound therapy based on a disruptive technology involving delivering an extremely precise and focused ultrasound beam to perform a reparative effect on the aortic valve leaflets, softening the valve's tissues, restoring leaflet mobility, and therefore improving the overall clinical status related to the aortic valve stenosis. This is a FIM study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound treatment of Calcified aortic valve in people with Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by Cardiawave SA at 2 sites in 2 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 7 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France, Netherlands. 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?

Safety: Rate of procedure related mortality at 30 days (time frame: 30 days post-procedure). The study lists 3 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 NCT03779620, 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?
