Note: Trials requiring extended follow-up for products that were investigational, but have since become commercially available, are not considered investigational trials.
  • In the judgment of the investigator, subjects may not complete the trial according to poor compliance or in other circumstances when the investigator determines that the subject is unfit to participate in the study.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Objective Performance Criteria Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Dragonfly Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair System for the Treatment of Functional Mitral Regurgitation (FMR) Subjects.

To confirm the effectiveness and safety of the Dragonfly transcatheter mitral valve repair system for the treatment of chronic moderate to severe (3+) or severe (4+) functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) who remained clinically symptomatic after guideline-directed medical treatment.

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective, multicenter, objective performance criteria design. Patients are chronic moderate to severe (3+) or severe (4+) functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) who remained clinically symptomatic after guideline-directed medical treatment. After signing an informed consent form, subjects are enrolled and treated with the DragonFly Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair System. All subjects receive clinical follow-up immediately after procedure, before discharge, 30 days after procedure, 6 months after procedure, and 12 months after procedure.

The primary outcome is defined as a composite measure include all-cause mortality and recurrent heart failure hospitalization at 12 months after procedure.

The secondary outcomes include acute procedural success, acute device success, mitral regurgitation degree (MR≤2+), recurrent heart failure hospitalization, NYHA class I or II at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months, and the improvement in 6 minutes walk test distance, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, quality of life change as assessed by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score from baseline at 12 months after procedure.

The safety endpoints include major adverse events (MAEs) at 30 days and 12 months after procedure, and all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months after procedure.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Valgen Medtech DragonFly Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair System in the treatment of patients with chronic moderate to severe (3+) or severe (4+) functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) who remained clinically symptomatic after guideline-directed medical treatment, and to evaluate the product performance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with composite measures- All-cause death and recurrent HF hospitalizations.

    A composite of all-cause death or recurrent heart failure (HF) hospitalizations.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Mitral regurgitation severity

    Percentage of patients with mitral regurgitation of 2+ or less.

    Measured: 30 days, 6 months, 12 months

  2. Recurrent heart failure (HF) hospitalizations

    Number of patients with incidence of re-hospitalizations for heart failure after Dragonfly implantation.

    Measured: 30 days, 6 months, 12 months

  3. NYHA Class

    Number of patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Function Class I or II.

    Measured: 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months

  4. Change in 6 minutes walk test distance

    Improvement in 6 Minute Walk Test distance at 12 months over baseline.

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Quality of life improvement

    Improvement in quality of life (QoL) at 12 months over baseline, as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ).

    Measured: 12 months

  6. Left Ventricular End Diastolic Volume (LVEDV)

    Left Ventricular End Diastolic Volume (LVEDV) as determined by the core echocardiography laboratory from a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE).

    Measured: 12 months

  7. Acute procedural success

    Successful in Dragonfly implantation, and residual MR of 2+ or less at discharge. An echocardiography echocardiogram at 30 days can be accepted if the discharge image was not available or hard to interpret. A death before discharge or a re-operation of mitral valve prior to 30 days is defined as acute procedure failure.

    Measured: Immediately after procedure, Discharge: The day after the patient's exit from the cardiac catheterization laboratory

  8. Acute device success

    One or more Dragonfly devices are successfully delivered and released, edge-to-edge leaflet repair confirmed by echocardiogram, and successfully withdrawal of the delivery catheter.

    Measured: Immediately after procedure
