About this study

Official title: Safety and Performance Study of the Harpoon Medical Device in Patients With Degenerative Mitral Regurgitation

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Harpoon Medical Device. It is anticipated, that the Harpoon Medical Device will provide advantages over current surgical interventions including: 1) a small minimally invasive incision, 2) no sternotomy, 3) no cardiopulmonary bypass, 4) no aortic manipulation, 5) a direct path to the valve plane, 6) performed on a beating heart, 7) real-time TEE-guided ePTFE cordal length adjustment and 8) less complicated procedure that is teachable and adoptable.

Read the detailed description

The device is designed to reduce the degree of mitral regurgitation by delivering and anchoring artificial chordae tendineae to the affected mitral valve leaflet(s) in a beating heart.

What participants receive

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

  • Harpoon Artificial ePTFE ChordsDevice

    The Harpoon Medical Transapical device is intended to be used to reduce the degree of degenerative mitral regurgitation by delivering and anchoring one or more ePTFE cords to the affected mitral valve leaflet(s) via a small left thoracotomy on the beating heart in patients with anterior, bi-leaflet or posterior prolapse.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Procedural Success During the First 30 Days

    To demonstrate that the Harpoon Medical Device performs as designed and can successfully implant one or more ePTFE artificial cords on either the anterior, posterior, or both leaflets of the mitral valve via a small left thoracotomy on the beating heart and reduce mitral regurgitation from "severe" to less than or equal to "moderate" at the conclusion of the procedure and at 30 days post-procedure.

    Measured: Procedure, discharge, and 30 days

  2. Number of Subjects With Freedom From Serious Adverse Events (SAE) During the First 30 Days

    Procedure freedom from Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) during the procedure, at discharge, and at 30 days follow-up shall be tracked and recorded.

    Measured: Procedure, Discharge and 30 Days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Subject's Severity of Mitral Regurgitation Over Time

    Severity of mitral regurgitation at 6 months, 12 months and 24 months follow-up shall be tracked and recorded

    Measured: 6 Months, 12 Months, and 24 Months

  2. Subject's Freedom From Serious Adverse Events Over Time

    Freedom from Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) at 6 months, 12 months and 24 months follow-up shall be tracked and recorded

    Measured: 6 Months, 12 Months, and 24 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Harpoon Artificial ePTFE Chords in people with Mitral Valve Regurgitation and Mitral Valve Prolapse, run by Edwards Lifesciences at 2 sites in Poland.

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 7 inclusion and 23 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 19 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Poland. 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 14 Oct 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?

Number of Subjects With Procedural Success During the First 30 Days (time frame: Procedure, discharge, and 30 days). The study lists 2 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 19 Nov 2019.
