About this study
The trial aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of LuX-Valve transcatheter tricuspid valve and delivery system which are intended to use in symptomatic patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation and high surgical risk.
Read the detailed description
The TRAVEL study is a prospective multi-center single-arm trial for transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement with LuX-Valve. A series of physical, imaging and laboratory exams will be performed to determine whether a subject has severe tricuspid regurgitation with high surgical risk. Subjects who meet the criteria will then receive LuX-Valve implantation if an informed consent is obtained.

Change in Quality of Life (QOL) is evaluated with Kansas City Cardiomyopathy (KCCQ)
KCCQ score ranges from 0 to 100, which 0 reflects the worst health status and 100 reflects the best health status.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 8 sites in China. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?
Death (time frame: 1 Year). The study lists 2 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 NCT04436653, 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 17 Nov 2020.
