About this study

Official title: HighLife TSMVR Feasibility Study of the Open Cell CLARITY Valve in Patients With Moderate-severe or Severe MR, High Surgical Risk and With a High Risk for Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction (LVOTO)

Feasibility, safety and performance of the HighLife CLARITY TSMV and its delivery system

Read the detailed description

Study to assess the feasibility, safety, and performance of the HighLife CLARITY TSMV, and its deliver systems, in NYHA Class ≥ II-IV patients with moderate-severe or severe mitral regurgitation who are at high risk for surgical treatment according to the local multidisciplinary Heart Team decision, and who are at high risk for potential LVOT obstruction(LVOTO).

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of subjects meeting Technical Success

    • Successful vascular access, delivery and retrieval of the HighLife delivery systems
    • Deployment and correct positioning of the HighLife 28mm CLARITY TSMV
    • Freedom from additional emergency surgery or re-intervention related to the device or access procedure, that occurred (was initiated) during the procedure. Any emergency surgery or re-intervention that occurs after the patient exits the procedure room/cath lab in stable condition will be captured as an AE/SAE

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CLARITY in people with Mitral Regurgitation, run by HighLife SAS at 14 sites in 6 countries.

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 8 inclusion and 14 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 3 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in France, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Poland and 1 more country. 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 Luc Verhees (+31 6 4270 2457, lverhees@highlifemed.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of subjects meeting Technical Success (time frame: 24 hours). 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 3 Oct 2024.
