About this study

The Cardioband Transcatheter System (Cardioband) is indicated for the treatment of secondary (functional) mitral regurgitation (FMR). The Cardioband is a transcatheter system, deployed on the beating heart through a transseptal approach. The Cardioband is deployed along the posterior annulus of the mitral valve (MV) and is adjusted under trans-esophageal guidance on the beating heart. A CE mark study with 30 subjects has been completed and documented reduction of severity of mitral regurgitation (MR) and improvement in 6- minute walk test in subjects with moderate to severe MR.

Study objectives are to test the efficacy of the Cardioband in improving MR and heart failure symptoms in patients with symptomatic (New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III-IVa), severe MR in the post-marketing setting, And to evaluate the safety of the Cardioband system in the post-marketing setting.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in Severity of MR at 30 Days of at Least One Category on a 0-4 Scale.

    Percentage of Patients with Reduction in MR Severity of at least one grade at 30 days compared to baseline

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Distance Walked on 6 Minute Walk Test

    Median distance in meters walked during 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at 6 months compared to baseline

    Measured: 6 months over Baseline

  2. Change in Mitral Regurgitation Severity

    Mitral Regurgitation at 6, 12, and 24 months compared to baseline

    Measured: 6, 12, and 24 months over baseline

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted9 Mar 2016 (estimated)
  2. Study startAug 2016
  3. Primary completionNov 2017
  4. Study completionDec 2018

Why it stopped: Edwards acquired Valtech Cardio Ltd in 2017 and opted to replace this study with NCT03600688.11 patients were enrolled in REPAIR and follow-up is complete.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cardioband in people with Mitral Valve Insufficiency and Cardiac Valve Annuloplasty, run by Edwards Lifesciences at 10 sites in 3 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 6 inclusion and 18 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Germany, France, Italy. 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 9 Nov 2020). 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?

Reduction in Severity of MR at 30 Days of at Least One Category on a 0-4 Scale. (time frame: 30 days). 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 9 Nov 2020.
