What participants receive

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

  • PTMA (Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Annuloplasty) ImplantDevice

    Percutaneous assessment from right or left subclavian vein, with PTMA implant in the coronary sinus, great cardiac vein, anterior interventricular vein.

Study groups in NCT00787293
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1ExperimentalPatient is screened for study and given baseline assessments. Pending fulfillment of study eligibility criteria, patient is implanted with PTMA system.
Receives: Device: PTMA (Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Annuloplasty) Implant

What is being measured

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

  1. Freedom from MACE at 30 days post-procedure and quantitative MR reduction at 6 months

    Measured: 30 days to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. % of patients experiencing procedure or device-related adverse events

    Measured: 30 days to 6 months

  2. Technical procedural success: % of patients maintaining a reduction of mitral annulus A/P dimension, sustained MR reduction, and decrease in left ventricular dimensions to specified degrees

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Clinical status: % of treated patients exhibiting improvements in defined QoL parameters

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PTMA (Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Annuloplasty) Implant in people with Heart Failure and Mitral Regurgitation, run by Viacor at 13 sites in 5 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 3 inclusion and 10 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Czechia, Switzerland. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

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?

Freedom from MACE at 30 days post-procedure and quantitative MR reduction at 6 months (time frame: 30 days to 6 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 NCT00787293, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 14 Feb 2011.
