About this study

The TriCinch System™ is intended for percutaneous treatment of tricuspid regurgitation.

It is a percutaneous catheter-based device designed for tricuspid valve repair in order to decrease effective cross-sectional area and relieve symptoms in patients with tricuspid valve regurgitation.

Read the detailed description

Implantation Procedure: Unlike the standard open chest, arrested heart approach, the 4TECH TriCinch System™ provides a percutaneous solution for tricuspid valve regurgitation treatment: this procedure is performed through deep sedation, while the heart is beating, without the need for respiratory assistance.

The TriCinch System™ consists of a Delivery System that enables transcatheter placement of an implant that can be adjusted to correct Tricuspid valve regurgitation. The TriCinch Delivery System is inserted from the femoral vein to access the right atrium of the heart. At the end of the correction process, the TriCinch Delivery System and the venous introducer are removed and the procedure is concluded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety: The percentage of participants with Major Adverse Events within 30 days of the procedure.

    Freedom from major adverse event: death, Q-wave myocardial infarction, cardiac tamponade, cardiac surgery for failed TriCinch implantation, stroke, or septicaemia.

    Measured: Up to 30 days

  2. Performance: The reduction in degree of tricuspid regurgitation measured immediately after the procedure compared to baseline.

    Ability to reduce tricuspid regurgitation by at least 1 degree immediately following implantation of the TriCinch device assessed by means of quantitative echocardiographic parameters.

    Measured: intraoperative

  3. Performance: The reduction in the degree of tricuspid regurgitation measured at time of discharge compared to baseline.

    Ability to reduce tricuspid regurgitation by at least 1 degree immediately following implantation of the TriCinch device assessed by means of quantitative echocardiographic parameters.

    Measured: Time of discharge - 5 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Safety: The percentage of participants with Major Adverse Events up to 3 months of the procedure.

    Rate of device-related major adverse event (MAE).

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Safety: The percentage of participants with Major Adverse Events within 6 months of the procedure.

    Rate of device-related Major Adverse Event (MAE).

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Performance: Assessment in the degree of Tricuspid Regurgitation at 3 months compared to baseline.

    Ability to maintain Tricuspid Regurgitation with respect to baseline.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Performance: Assessment in the degree of Tricuspid Regurgitation at 6 months compared to baseline.

    Ability to maintain Tricuspid Regurgitation with respect to baseline.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TriCinch System in people with Tricuspid Regurgitation, run by 4Tech Cardio Ltd. at 14 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 4 inclusion and 11 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 14 Mar 2018. 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 Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Safety: The percentage of participants with Major Adverse Events within 30 days of the procedure. (time frame: Up to 30 days). The study lists 3 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 14 Mar 2018.
