About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of Percutaneous Implantation of the CoreValve Aortic Valve Prosthesis. Safety and Performance Study on Patients at High Risk for Surgical Valve Replacement (18Fr Safety and Efficacy Study)

The investigation concerns a prospective, multicenter, single arm safety and performance study evaluating the Medtronic CoreValve system. Approximately 120 patients presenting with symptomatic aortic native valve stenosis necessitating valve replacement which are considered poor surgical candidates, with a high surgical risk, as attested to by both the surgeon and the cardiologist are recruited in the study.

Safety and performance will be evaluated at discharge and at 30 days post-procedure. Valve performance and placement will be followed up at 3 and 6 months post-procedure. Further long-term patient follow-up visits will be performed at 12, 24, 36 and 48 months post-procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Composite Major Adverse Event (MAE) Free Rate

    Percentage of subjects without a composite major adverse event (MAE) at 30 (+ 7) days post-procedure. MAE included all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke, emergent cardiac re-intervention, cardiac tamponade, non-structural or structural valve dysfunction, cardiogenic shock, endocarditis, TIA, embolism, aortic dissection, access site vessel dissection, vessel perforation, acute vessel occlusion, major bleeding and major vascular injury.

    Measured: 30 (+7) days post procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Composite Technical Device Success

    Composite technical success was defined as the percentage of subjects in whom success on all four technical measures of the "Device Functionality Assessment" was achieved and who were adjudicated as having no device failure or malfunction.

    The four measures of the ''Device Functionality Assessment'' were:

    • Load the valve delivery system using the loading system
    • Access the aortic valve with the delivery catheter
    • Deploy the valve accurately across the native aortic valve
    • Remove the intact delivery system

    Measured: Was assessed during the procedure and completed once the procedure was conlcluded

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Medtronic CoreValve System in people with Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure at 9 sites in 4 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 18 inclusion and 19 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Canada, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Feb 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Composite Major Adverse Event (MAE) Free Rate (time frame: 30 (+7) days post procedure). 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 19 Feb 2019.
