About this study

Official title: Mi-STITCH™ and Mi-KNOT™ Device Technologies Improvement of Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Repair - A Single-center, Pilot Clinical Safety & Feasibility Trial

The objective of this study is to analyze the safety and efficacy of a novel device for minimally invasive mitral valve repair. Data of the early and intermediate postoperative period will be collected within routine clinical follow-up in order to assess morbidity and mortality as well as echocardiographic parameters.

Read the detailed description

This study is a clinical, single-center pilot-study to evaluate safety and performance of a novel device in minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. Twelve (12) patients with mitral valve regurgitation planned for surgery at Vienna General Hospital (AKH) will be enrolled in the study considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. Mitral valve repair is achieved by replacing the chordae tendinea with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) sutures either with or without concomitant procedures, such as annuloplasty, resection, or gap closure. These ePTFE sutures are placed between a mitral leaflet and the corresponding papillary muscle using a novel suturing device (Mi-Stitch™). By adjusting the length of the suture, the appropriate coaptation is achieved and prolapse is avoided - resulting in an adequate seal of the valve. The procedure will be assessed according to the primary safety endpoint (30 day mortality) as well as the implantation time. Likewise midterm safety endpoints at 12 months (mortality and observed rate of serious adverse events [SAE]) and procedural times will be analyzed.

What participants receive

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

  • Mi-Chord™ Device TechnologiesDevice

    Mi-Chord™ System consists of LS-5™ ePTFE suture, the Mi-STITCH™ suturing device, the Mi-KNOT™ device and the Mi-KNOT™ titanium fastener. Mi-Chord™ system is designed to replace the chordae tendineae in order to enable mitral valve repair. These sub-devices (ePTFE suture, Mi-STITCH™, Mi-KNOT™ device, Mi-KNOT™ titanium fastener) can be considered as one system and refer to different aspects of the overall technology.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary safety endpoint - 30day Mortality

    30 day Mortality

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Primary efficacy endpoint - Implantation Time

    Defined as the period from start of valve assessment until the completion of the repair

    Measured: intraoperative

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Secondary safety endpoints - Mortality

    Mortality

    Measured: 1, 6 and 12 months

  2. Secondary safety endpoints - Rate of SAEs

    Rate of serious adverse events according to the current EN ISO 14155 guidelines

    Measured: 1, 6 and 12 months

  3. Secondary efficacy endpoints - Procedural times

    Surgical time, aortic cross-clamp (ACC) time, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and time from first suture bite on mitral leaflet to final suture cutting and knot crimping on the papillary muscle (for each chord)

    Measured: intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mi-Chord™ Device Technologies in people with Mitral Regurgitation and Mitral Valve Insufficiency, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 9 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 8 Dec 2021. 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 Austria. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Martin Andreas, MD, PhD, MBA (+43 1 40400 52620, martin.andreas@meduniwien.ac.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary safety endpoint - 30day Mortality (time frame: 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 8 Dec 2021.
