About this study

Official title: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation With Sapien 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve for Pure Aortic Regurgitation. The S3AR Study TAVI With Sapien 3 for Pure AR.

The hypothesis is that TAVI using a SAPIEN 3 THV is feasible and safe for the treatment of pure AR.

Read the detailed description

Up to now, the balloon-expandable valves have been considered contraindicated for patients with pure AR due to the absence of calcium which is considered necessary for the anchoring of the prosthesis. Nonetheless, several cases report have suggested the feasibility of TAVI using the SAPIEN XT THV, in patients with no calcified valves suggesting that an appropriate degree of oversizing might compensate the lack of calcium for the anchoring of these prostheses.

The new generation balloon-expandable SAPIEN 3 THV has incorporated changes in the stent frame geometry, leaflets configuration and an external sealing skirt resulting in an increased stability and outstanding control during its implantation, a greater radial force, a reduced rate of paravalvular leaks and a covering of a wider range of annulus dimensions. These characteristics of the SAPIEN 3 THV might translate into a safer use of this device in patients with pure AR and non-calcified valves.

Significant AR occurs in 2.0% of individuals of >75 years, 13.3% of patients referred for intervention, being severe in 5% of these patients. As for aortic stenosis, its prevalence increases with age and the most frequent cause is degenerative although rheumatic and endocarditis are present. Although patients with severe AR have an excess risk of mortality and aortic valve replacement reduces mortality, only 1/3 of patients with significant AR finally undergo intervention. Reasons for no intervention are unknown.

Even if it has been suggested that AR might be underestimated and the prevalence of this disease might be higher than previously reported, and a percent of patients with indication for aortic valve replacement are denied for surgery, pure AR is a small niche of patients for TAVI. In terms of cost-effectiveness, both the development of a dedicated device and the investment in the training of operators in the implantation technique might lack of interest. However, performing TAVI with a device used in the routine practice might be appealing and, importantly, safer. A preliminary case series including 3 patients have suggested the feasibility of TAVI with the SAPIEN 3 device for pure AR (Urena M, Himbert D. JACC, 2016 ). In this study we aim to evaluate the feasibility and long-term safety of the SAPIEN 3 THV in patients with pure AR.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT04671758
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AR TAVIThe population consists in patients with severe symptomatic AR on native aortic valve who are candidates for surgical aortic valve replacement but who are deemed inoperable by the heart team due to technical issues (i.e., porcelain aorta, previous coronary artery bypass grafting,…), extreme left ventricular dysfunction or comorbidities (liver cirrhosis, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease…).

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility and 30-day safety of TAVI with the SAPIEN 3 THV in patients with pure AR

    1/ Device success at 1 month follow up according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC)-2. 2-Rate of moderate or severe AR at 1-month follow-up

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Long-term safety of TAVI with the SAPIEN 3 THV in patients with pure AR

    Long-term safety defined as lack of valve migration and 1 year cardiovascular mortality defined according to the VARC-2 (combined endpoint)

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Long-term performance of TAVI with the SAPIEN 3 THV in patients with pure AR

    Rate of moderate or severe AR at 1-year follow-up

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Long-term safety of TAVI with the SAPIEN 3 THV in patients with pure AR

    Long-term safety defined as lack of 1-year all cause mortality

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pure Aortic Regurgitation, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 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 France. 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?

Contact Dominique Himbert, MD (33140256601, dominique.himbert@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility and 30-day safety of TAVI with the SAPIEN 3 THV in patients with pure AR (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT04671758, 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 Dec 2020.
