What participants receive

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

  • Half Moon TMVr SystemDevice

    The Half Moon Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVr) System is designed for transfemoral access and transseptal delivery of a self-expanding implant that restores competency in a regurgitant mitral valve.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse Events

    Evaluation of the nature, severity and frequency of complications associated with the delivery and/or implantation of the device

    Measured: 30 Days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Device Placement

    Assessment of the ability to accurately deliver and place the implant within the native anatomy

    Measured: 30 Days (+ annually through 5 years)

  2. Device Performance

    The degree of improvement of MR grade

    Measured: 30 Days (+ annually through 5 years)

  3. Symptom Improvement

    The degree of improvement of MR symptoms

    Measured: 30 Days (+ annually through 5 years)

  4. Device Durability

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Half Moon TMVr System in people with Mitral Valve Insufficiency, run by Half Moon Medical at 5 sites in United States.

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 29 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Craig Straley (4153109197, craigstraley.halfmoon@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse Events (time frame: 30 Days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 Jan 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
