About this study

Official title: Feasibility Trial on ACURATE™ Transapical Implantation in Patients With Severe Symptomatic Aortic Stenosis

Feasibility Trial on the ACURATE TA™ transapical implantation in patients presenting severe symptomatic aortic stenosis to collect human feasibility data pertaining to the safety and performance of the device.

Read the detailed description

A single arm, prospective, multicenter, open trial up to 5 year follow-up with the SYMETIS ACURATE TA™ which is an aortic bioprosthesis for minimal invasive implantation via transapical access to treat patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis where conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) via open heart surgery is considered to be associated with high surgical risk for evaluating the feasibility and performance of the implantation and the safety at 30-Day follow-up.

What participants receive

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

  • ACURATE TA™Device

    Also called ACURATE TA™ Transapical Aortic Bioprosthesis and Delivery System

    ACURATE TA™ Transapical Aortic Bioprosthesis is intended for subjects with severe symptomatic Aortic Stenosis and are considered high risk for surgical conventional Aortic Valve Replacement surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety endpoint

    Rate of Major Adverse Valve-Related Events (MAVRE) related to ACURATE

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Performance endpoint

    Stable ACURATE placement at intended site as assessed by angiography

    Measured: Up to 24-hours post-procedure

  2. Performance endpoint

    Measured: Up to 24-hours post-procedure

  3. Mortality

    Freedom from Death at follow-up

    Measured: 30 days, 60 days, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months

  4. MAVRE at follow-up

    Rate of MAVRE at follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ACURATE TA™ in people with Aortic Stenosis Symptomatic, run by Symetis SA at 5 sites in Germany.

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 31 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 25 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Germany. 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?

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 endpoint (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 25 Jun 2018.
