Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subject is able and willing to comply with all assessments in the study.
  • Subject or subjects' legal representative have been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to participate, and has signed the approved consent form.
  • Age of Subject is ≥18.
  • Estimated life expectancy >6 months.
  • Patients demonstrated to have symptomatic post-therapeutic mitral valve dysfunction as determined at diagnostic cardiac catheterization, echocardiography, and/or MR and a mitral valve annulus suitable for a "valve in valve" transcatheter valve replacement procedure using the Edwards SAPIEN 3™ TAVR device based on diagnostic cardiac catheterization, echocardiography and/or MR imaging.
  • Patient has been evaluated by a Heart Team and judged to be a candidate for mitral valve in valve procedure.
  • Patient has femoral and iliac artery dimensions sufficient to accept the study device (>6 mm).
  • Patient is potential surgical candidate.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with any clinical presentation that will exclude them from receiving a Edwards SAPIEN 3™ percutaneous valve.
  • Patients with vascular disease that would preclude navigation of the Conveyor System.
  • Patients who do not desire to participate in the study.
  • Patients who are judged to be mentally incapable of fully understanding the risks or potential benefits of participation in the study.
  • Patients with visible thrombus in the left atrium or on the mitral valve apparatus/replacement.
  • Patient requires urgent or emergent treatment.
  • Patient has significant aortic valve disease or previous aortic valve replacement.
  • Pregnant patients (must have negative pregnancy test).

About this study

Official title: First in Human Safety Study of the Synecor Conveyor System Used for Delivery of a Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve

To demonstrate that the Conveyor System can safely provide left ventricular access to deliver the SAPIEN 3 (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) transcatheter heart valve in patients who have been diagnosed with prior mitral valve replacement or repair (failing bioprosthetic mitral valve) who are candidates for mitral valve-in-valve procedure.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center early feasibility study designed to demonstrate that the Conveyor System can safely provide left ventricular access to deliver an Edwards SAPIEN 3 TAVR valve into the mitral valve position in a valve-in-valve procedure. This study will enroll patients with symptomatic heart disease due to a failing bioprosthetic mitral valve (stenosed insufficient, or combined).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Interventional ArmExperimentalAccess, delivery, and retrieval of the Conveyor system with correct positioning of the valve delivery system to facilitate correct positioning of the implant at the mitral location in patients with a failing bioprosthetic valve.
Receives: Device: Mitral valve-in-valve

What is being measured

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

  1. Correct Positioning of Implant

    The ability of the Conveyor System to safely position the valve delivery system to facilitate correct positioning of the implant without causing any serious adverse events through 30-day follow up. Cineangiography will be used in delivery to ensure that the implant is orthogonal to the mitral valve annulus and centered within it from multiple views. The patient will be seen in the clinic in a routine follow-up to ascertain any untoward clinical signs or symptoms.

    Measured: 30 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mitral valve-in-valve in people with Mitral Valve Insufficiency and Mitral Valve Disease, run by Synecor, LLC.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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 5 Apr 2019. 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?

Contact Lauren Baker, PhD (9787643434, lbaker@boston-biomedical.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correct Positioning of Implant (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 5 Apr 2019.
