About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the role of cardiac imaging combined with demographic, clinical, and biochemical parameters in predicting outcomes following percutaneous mitral valve intervention in order to facilitate more careful risk stratification, interventional planning and avoidance of high risk futile procedures.The principle objective of this study is to determine if transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) can predict changes in left ventricular (LV) size and function following percutaneous mitral valve intervention (PMVI).

Read the detailed description

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most common valvular abnormalities affecting an estimated 5 million worldwide. Within Europe it has been recognised as the second most common valve lesion requiring surgery. By 2030, prevalence is expected to more than double as a consequence of an ageing population. Mitral regurgitation can be caused by a range of aetiologies including degenerative or functional abnormalities. Regardless of the underlying cause, severe MR commonly leads to symptoms of breathlessness and/or arrhythmia, frequently requiring hospital admission secondary to decompensated heart failure. Aside from a reduction in cardiac output secondary to the primary lesion, chronic MR also leads to significant left ventricular remodelling with dilatation and dysfunction of the left ventricle. Left untreated, such a lesion carries an annual mortality of 5%.

Conventional mitral valve surgery is the recognised gold standard therapy for patients with moderate to severe or severe mitral regurgitation, symptoms and LV impairment. However for patients with multiple comorbidities and a high surgical risk, percutaneous mitral valve intervention presents a novel viable therapeutic option.

Percutaneous mitral valve intervention offers an alternative to conventional open heart surgery via a minimally invasive route. One such percutaneous technology is the Mitra-Clip which is deployed and positioned to grasp valve leaflets and create a double orifice. The primary aim is to reduce the degree of mitral regurgitation with additional clinical outcomes focussed on symptom relief, enhanced lifestyle and longevity.

Foundation studies focussed on Mitra-clip have supported the usefulness of percutaneous technology with mainstay papers reporting a reduction in mitral regurgitation with improvement in clinical symptoms and quality of life. When compared to conventional surgery this approach has demonstrated high levels of safety and efficacy. Current research has also acknowledged positive left ventricular (LV) remodelling with improvement in ejection fraction and reduction in LV size as a consequence of percutaneous mitral valve intervention.

Cardiac imaging is crucial in the preoperative, device deployment and post intervention phases of PMVI. TTE, recognised as the mainstay imaging modality in valvular heart disease, allows for both quantitative and qualitative evaluation of mitral regurgitation. Moreover, comprehensive assessment of LV size and function can be performed. More recently, very early myocardial impairment has been demonstrated using a number of sophisticated echocardiographic markers. Additionally, functional testing including exercise stress echocardiography has proven diagnostic relevance when uncovering valvular causes of dyspnoea. Unfortunately the usefulness of both of these echo derived markers in patients with significant mitral regurgitation undergoing PMVI is poorly understood, demonstrating the need for further characterisation of these markers in this cohort.

The aim is to assess the impact of percutaneous mitral valve intervention on markers of LV function and the usefulness of functional testing in predicting changes in LV performance. The investigators propose that cardiac imaging, functional testing and clinical and laboratory data can be used to predict changes in left ventricular size and function following percutaneous mitral valve intervention.

Trial objectives and purpose

The purpose of this study is to assess the role of cardiac imaging combined with demographic, clinical, and biochemical parameters in predicting outcomes following percutaneous mitral valve intervention in order to facilitate more careful risk stratification, interventional planning and avoidance of high risk futile procedures.

The principle objective of this study is to determine if transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) can predict changes in left ventricular (LV) size and function following percutaneous mitral valve intervention (PMVI).

The secondary objectives are:

  1. Evaluation of the usefulness of functional testing, namely exercise stress echocardiography (ESE), and its role in discriminating mitral regurgitation (MR) patients who demonstrate improved LV parameters following PMVI from those who do not.
  2. Assessment of the relationship between TTE, ESE, Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) and Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) for these patients.
  3. Assessment of the relationship between improvements in LV performance and the degree of residual MR.
  4. Exploration and characterisation of the relationship between changes in LV parameters and clinical outcomes.
  5. Assessment of the usefulness of TTE parameters combined with functional, clinical, biochemical parameters in providing a better prediction of postoperative outcomes following PMVI.
  6. Exploration of the relationship between improved outcomes and right ventricular (RV) size and function and right ventricular systolic pressures (RVSP).

Individual data sharing
No: Given this is a pilot study with much of the data a result of tests considered routine practice, the project is unlikely to generate new IP. However any new IP generated by the research will be owned by Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. We will not share the data we collect as we have not consented for this however we aim to publish and disseminate our anonymised findings so that the value of this information can be used and applied by others working in the same field.

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?

Change in LV size (time frame: Within 3-6 months post intervention). The study lists 7 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 NCT04156295, which also lists 8 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 29 Jul 2021.
