Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the JenaValve Trilogy™ Heart Valve System in a patient population with symptomatic severe Aortic regurgitation ( a condition where the heart's aortic valve does not close tightly and allows some blood to leak back into the heart chamber) requiring replacement/repair of their native aortic valve that are at high risk for open surgical aortic valve replacement/repair (SAVR).

Your involvement in this study will last approximately 5 years from the time of your procedure. The visits include: Screening/Baseline, Procedure, Pre-Discharge, 1 month, 6 months and annualy for 5 years

Edwards PASCAL TrAnScatheter Valve RePair System Pivotal Clinical Trial (CLASP II TR): A prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled pivotal trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter tricuspid valve repair with the Edwards PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System and optimal medical therapy (OMT) compared to OMT alone in patients with tricuspid regurgitation

Summary

This study is for participants who have tricuspid regurgitation, a condition in which your heart's tricuspid valve does not close tightly which causes blood to flow backwards in the incorrect direction. This condition increases the workload on the heart and if left untreated, it can increase the risk of worsening heart failure. In this study, a device called the PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System will be used to treat the tricuspid regurgitation. The PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System is an investigational device meaning it has not been approved for commercial use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this study participants will be randomized, meaning randomly assigned like drawing straws, in a 2:1 fashion to either receive the PASCAL Transcatheter Valve Repair System (treatment group) or optimal medical therapy (OMT) (control group). OMT means your medications will be adjusted as needed to provide the most benefit possible. Participants randomized to the OMT group may be eligible to receive the device after completing 2 years of follow up. Participants not eligible for randomization may be eligible for the registry portion of the study if approved by the sponsor. The registry arm participants will not be randomized but will undergo the procedure to place the device.

Participation in this study will last about 5 years and involve up to 15 visits for those in the treatment or registry group and 11 visit for those in the control group. Study related procedures include a right heart catheterization (test to measure the pressures in the heart), echocardiograms (ultrasound test of heart), electrocardiogram or ECG (test of the heart's electrical system) blood work, questionnaires, hall walk test, and physical exam.

Summary

This study is for participants who have tricuspid regurgitation, a condition in which your heart's tricuspid valve does not close tightly which causes blood to flow backwards in the incorrect direction. This condition increases the workload on the heart and if left untreated, it can increase the risk of worsening heart failure. In this study, a device called the VDyne Transcatheter Tricuspid Replacement System will be used to treat the tricuspid regurgitation. The VDyne Transcatheter Tricsupid Replacement System is an investigational device meaning it has not been approved for commercial use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this study all eligible participants will be treated with the device.

Participation in this study will last about 5 years and involve up to 13 visits. Study related procedures include a right heart catheterization (test to measure the pressures in the heart), echocardiograms (ultrasound test of heart), electrocardiogram or ECG (test of the heart's electrical system) blood work, questionnaires, hall walk test, and physical exam.

There are risks associated with this study including potential risks with the device, implant procedure and study related procedures. There is also the risk of loss of confidentiality. The study may or may not benefit you but the information learned may benefit others with this condition in the future.

Summary

You are invited to volunteer in this clinical research study because you have been diagnosed with tricuspid valve regurgitation.

The type of research study you are being asked to join is called an Early Feasibility Study. This means the device and procedure you are receiving (the treatment) have not been previously studied in humans, and that you will be among the first patients in the world to undergo this treatment. The Device you are receiving is not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and its safety and effectiveness are unknown.

Participants will undergo right heart catheterizations, computed tomography (CT) scans without iodinated contrast, multiple ultrasounds of the heart, labs, and other assessments. The length of subject participation in the study is 5 years and includes 11 research visits. You will have a screening right heart catheterization (RHC) to check the pressures and function of your heart. The research procedure and placement of the TRIcares Topaz Transfemoral Tricuspid heart Valve (Topaz Tricuspid Valve) will be placed in a hybrid operating room. This procedure is done by entering a vein in your groin known as the femoral vein. The purpose of this device is to eliminate the regurgitation or leaking in the tricuspid valve of the heart to help reduce the symptoms caused by this leaky valve.

The most common risks associated with the research procedure are those related to the right heart catheterization (RHC) and Topaz Tricuspid valve procedure. Major risks include bleeding and damage to the heart or surrounding blood vessels. There are no known benefits of the research device. There may be possible benefits from the research procedure including improvement in quality of life or a decrease in the symptoms caused by tricuspid regurgitation. The information that we obtain from your participation in this study will help us learn more about how safe and effective this approach is in treating the symptoms of individuals similar to yourself.
