About this study

Official title: EValuation of Outcomes of MitraCLip for the Treatment of Moderate Functional Mitral ValvE Regurgitation In Heart Failure

The study compares the effectiveness of treatment with MitraClip to medical therapy in improving the reduction of cardiovascular morbidity and functional capacity at 24 months, in patients with moderate functional mitral regurgitation.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective To compare the effectiveness of treatment with MitraClip to medical therapy on the change from baseline to 24 months in quality of life as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) overall summary score in patients with moderate functional mitral regurgitation.

Secondary Objectives

  • To evaluate the effects of MitraClip and medical therapy on change from baseline in mitral regurgitation severity at 24 months.
  • To evaluate the effects of MitraClip and medical therapy on change from baseline in mitral regurgitation severity at 12 months.
  • To evaluate the effects of MitraClip and medical therapy on change in quality of life from baseline to 12 months, as measured by the KCCQ.

Tertiary Objectives

  • To evaluate the effects of MitraClip and medical therapy on change from baseline in functional capacity (distance walked on a 6MWT) at 12 and 24 Months.
  • To evaluate the effects of MitraClip and medical therapy on change from baseline in quality of life, as measured by the EQ5DL questionnaire, at 12 and 24 months.
  • To evaluate the effects of MitraClip and medical therapy on freedom from progression to severe MR at 24 months as assessed by echocardiography.
  • To evaluate the effects of MitraClip and medical therapy on change from baseline in LVEDVi at 24 months.

Exploratory Objectives

  • To evaluate the effects of MitraClip and medical therapy on functional class, biomarkers, clinical events, parameters of physical activity, other echocardiographic parameters and health economic assessments.
  • To evaluate the effects of MitraClip and medical therapy on all hospitalizations for decompensated heart failure, including episodes of outpatient treatment intensification in a HF clinic or emergency department visits, at 24 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MitraClip and Medical Therapy in people with Ventricular Remodeling, Left, run by Montreal Heart Institute at 1 site in Canada.

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 14 inclusion and 39 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 30 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of recruitment.). 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?

Change In Mitral Regurgitation (time frame: 24 months). 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 30 May 2024.
