What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
NOVAtria SystemDevice
The NOVAtria System, therapeutic and monitoring device will be implanted at interatrial septum with minimally invasive cardiac catheterization procedure
ControlOther
Right heart catheterization and TEE
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment | Experimental | Treatment arm patients will undergo a right heart catheterization and invasive echocardiography to determine study eligibility and TEE guided trans-septal puncture and NOVAtria® system procedure Receives: Device: NOVAtria System |
| Control | Other | Control arm patients will undergo a diagnostic right heart catheterization and invasive echocardiography to determine study eligibility, but will not have transseptal catheterization or device implantation Receives: Other: Control |
| Roll in | Experimental | Roll in arm patients will undergo a diagnostic right heart catheterization and invasive echocardiography to determine study eligibility followed by transseptal catheterization and NOVAtria® system procedure Receives: Device: NOVAtria System |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Primary Safety endpoint
Safety-Percentage of Treatment patients experiencing major device-related adverse events.Percentage of Treatment group patients experiencing any device-related Major Adverse Cardiovascular or Neurological Events (MACNE) during the first 30-days after randomization, compared to a pre-specified Performance Goal
Measured: 30-days after randomization
Composite Primary Effective endpoint
Effectiveness-Hierarchical composite of death, heart transplant or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, HF hospitalizations, worsening HF events treated as an outpatient, and change in 6WMT
Measured: Follow-up duration at endpoint analysis ranges from a minimum of 12 to a maximum of 24 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing NOVAtria System in people with Heart Failure, run by United Innomed(Shanghai) Limited at 15 sites in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 15 sites in China. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact WANG Jian'an (+86 0571 87783759, jiangbo@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Primary Safety endpoint (time frame: 30-days after randomization). 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 May 2026.
