About this study

A prospective, non-randomized multi-center clinical investigation of the Venus P-Valve™ for the treatment of pulmonary regurgitation with or without stenosis in patient with native outflow tracts.

Read the detailed description

This study evaluates the implantation of the Venus P-Valve™ for the treatment of patients with an incompetent pulmonic valve, which causes blood to flow back from the pulmonary artery into the right heart ventricle during pumping of the heart (pulmonary regurgitation). Patients with and without narrowing (stenosis) of the right ventricular outflow tract will be included. The purpose of this protocol is to assess the safety and performance of Venus P-Valve™ implantation.

Post-procedure, a clinical visit will be scheduled at 30 days, 6 month, 12 months, and annually thereafter to 3 years. Population: Patients≥12 years with a body weight of ≥30kg, with significant pulmonary regurgitation (≥3+) with or without right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) stenosis (mean Doppler gradient ≥35mmHg) with native right ventricular outflow tracts.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of Venus P-Valve™ measured as probability of death/reoperation

    Occurrence of death or reoperation (Valve and/or procedure related) calculated as a composite freedom-of-death and -reoperation probability at 12 months. The acceptance criterion for mortality and reoperation is 16% (or equivalently 84% freedom from death and reoperation). If the lower 95% confidence limit for survival and freedom from reoperation at 12 months is greater than 84%, the acceptance criterion for safety will have been met.

    Measured: month 12 follow-up

  2. Safety of Venus P-Valve™ measured as probability of Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebro-vascular Event (MACCE)

    Occurrence of MACCE (defined as death, myocardial infarction, reoperation, vascular injury resulting in the need for an unplanned vascular grafting intervention, stroke, and pulmonary embolism) calculated as freedom-from-MACCE probability at month-1, calculated using the Kaplan Meier method

    Measured: month 1 follow-up

  3. Performance of Venus P-Valve™ measured as Success rate of valve placement and implantation

    The device success is defined as the percentage of subjects with successful implant of the P-Valve assessed at the earliest evaluable echocardiogram. Linearized rates will be presented.

    Measured: up to 30 days

  4. Hemodynamic Performance of Venus P-Valve™ measured as the mean transvalvular pressure (mmHg)

    Hemodynamic performance, measured as the mean transvalvular pressure gradient measured by transthoracic echocardiogram at month-1

    Measured: 1 month

  5. Performance of Venus P-Valve™ measured as change of pulmonary regurgitation (regurgitation classification by MRI)

    Improvement or abolition of pulmonary regurgitation assessed by MRI at baseline and month 6, with grading of pulmonary stenosis defined as: mild <2, moderate: 2-4; severe >4

    Measured: baseline and month 6

  6. Performance of Venus P-Valve™ measured as change of pulmonary regurgitation (regurgitation classification by transthoracic echocardiogram)

    Improvement or abolition of pulmonary regurgitation assessed by transthoracic echocardiogram at baseline, day 1, month 1, 6, 12 and annually thereafter to 3 years post procedure, with grading of pulmonary stenosis defined as: mild <2, moderate: 2-4; severe >4

    Measured: baseline, day 1, month 1, 6, 12 and annually thereafter to 3 years post procedure

  7. Performance of Venus P-Valve™ measured as percentage of subjects with structural valve deterioration

    Structural valve deterioration assessment includes stent fracture, leaflet mobility, thickening and calcification

    Measured: month 6

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Safety measured as percentage of subjects experiencing serious adverse events

    Within the duration of the study of the percentage of patients experiencing the following events is measured:

    • Device migration/embolization
    • Valvar thrombosis
    • Thromboembolism
    • Bleeding
    • Paravalvar leak
    • Endocarditis
    • Nonstructural dysfunction
    • Explant
    • Hemolysis
    • Arrhythmias
    • all other serious adverse events as defined in protocol section 6.2

    Measured: up to third year of follow-up

  2. Functional improvement measured as decreased pulmonary regurgitation (regurgitation classification by transthoracic echocardiogram )

    Improved valve function demonstrated by a decrease in pulmonary regurgitation (PR) to mild or less (≤ 2) by transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) at month-1

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Functional improvement measured as decreased pulmonary regurgitation (regurgitation classification by MRI)

    Improved valve function demonstrated by a decrease in pulmonary regurgitation (PR) to mild or less (≤ 2) by MRI at month-6

    Measured: month 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing trans catheter heart valve replacement in people with Pulmonary Regurgitation, 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 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 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?

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?

Safety of Venus P-Valve™ measured as probability of death/reoperation (time frame: month 12 follow-up). The study lists 7 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 21 Apr 2023.
