  • Patients who volunteer to participate and sign an informed consent form, understand the purpose of the clinical trial and are able to cooperate throughout the trial process;
  • An age ≥ 18 years;
  • Diagnostic transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) obtained within 90 days and transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) obtained within 180 days to determine the presence of symptomatic moderate-severe or severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (defined as mitral regurgitation grade ≥3+);

  • Elements include, however, are not constrained to the following:
  • Mitral valve orifice area ≥ 4.0 cm2;
  • Left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD) ≤ 60 mm;
  • The primary regurgitant bundle is a non-conjunctive regurgitant bundle and if the secondary regurgitant bundle is present, must be clinically insignificant;
  • Transeptal puncture and femoral venipuncture are feasible; The recommended reference criteria for high surgical risk are: an STS score of ≥8 for surgical valve replacement (see Appendix III) or an STS score of ≥6 for surgical valve repair, or the existence of other high-risk factors, such as the presence of other high-risk elements such as the presence of ≥ 2 warning signs of moderate-severe frailty or the presence of feasible surgical operative limitations or the presence of ≥ 2 main organs dysfunctions that cannot be elevated postoperatively or other surgical high-risk factors that are genuinely existing in the judgment of the independent cardiac surgeon in this study.

What participants receive

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

  • GeminiOne Transcatheter Valve Edge-to-Edge Repair SystemDevice

    The transcatheter valve clamp system consists of a valve clamp, an adjustable bend mid-tube, and a manipulated inner tube. The adjustable bend introducer catheter consists of an adjustable bend outer tube and dilator. The valve clip is composed of nickel-titanium alloy, cobalt-chromium-nickel-molybdenum-iron alloy, and polyethylene terephthalate material and contains a closure clip, gripping tab, central mechanism, braid, and suture. The adjustable bend guiding catheter is used to provide access to the transcatheter valve clamping system and to reach the designated position. The adjustable curved mid-tube and manipulated inner tube are used to enable the delivery, gripping, and release process of the valve clips within the body.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment success

    Percentage of patients freedom from: death, surgery for valve dysfunction, and MR > 2+ (moderate to severe (3+) or severe (4+) mitral regurgitation) .

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Acute procedural success

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

    Measured: Immediately after procedure, Discharge: 1 day after the patient's exit from the cardiac catheterization laboratory

  2. Acute device success

    Rate of successful delivery and release of one or more GeminiOne devices with echocardiographic confirmation of leaflet clamping and successful withdrawal of the delivery catheter

    Measured: Immediately after procedure

  3. Composite of function and re-operation measures

    Number of patients freedom from postoperative surgery for mitral valve dysfunction.

    Measured: 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months

  4. Cardiac function change

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

    Measured: 30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years

  5. Quality of life improvement

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

    Measured: 12 months

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

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 Jinjin Zhang (+86-13814870113, jameszhang@peijiamedical.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Treatment success (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT05655897, 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.
