About this study

Official title: Multicenter Pivotal Study to Evaluate the Treatment of Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis With Next-Generation Venus-Vitae Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) System

The purpose is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and performance of Venus-Vitae Transcatheter Heart Valve System in patients with severe aortic stenosis.

Read the detailed description

This trial is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized interventional study to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and performance of the Venus-Vitae Transcatheter Heart Valve System in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Clinical visits will be scheduled at screening, pre-discharge, 30 days, 6 months, 12 months and annually thereafter to 5 years.

What participants receive

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

  • Venus-Vitae Transcatheter Heart Valve SystemDevice

    The Venus-Vitae THV is comprised of balloon-expandable and radiopaque cobalt-chromium alloy frame, porcine pericardium tri-leaflet, porcine pericardium inner skirt, polyurethane outer skirt, PTFE assembly sutures, and three radiopaque gold markers (Figure 1). The valve utilizes Venus Endura technology and stored in a non-aqueous condition.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Venus-Vitae Transcatheter Heart Valve System in people with Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by Venus MedTech (HangZhou) Inc..

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 6 inclusion and 22 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The rate of deaths at the one-year follow-up visit post procedure (time frame: 1 Years). 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?
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 18 Aug 2023.
