Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Age > 18 years

- Subjects with severe symptomatic functional mitral regurgitation of = 3+ secondary to
left ventricular (LV) remodeling and/or annular remodeling, as measured in accordance
with the current ASE guidelines and suitable for treatment in accordance with the
current AHA/ACC guidelines:

- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) = 20% and = 40%

- Stable cardiac medical regimen for heart failure for at least 1 month

- Stable NYHA Classification (Class III and above) for at least 1 month

- The subject has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions,
including the possibility of conversion to surgery, and has provided written informed
consent.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Candidates will be excluded from the study if any of the following conditions are present:

- Myocardial infarction within 90 days of the intended treatment with the device

- Prior surgical, transcatheter, or percutaneous mitral valve intervention or mitral
valve prosthesis

- Subject has untreated coronary artery disease, which in the opinion of the treating
physician and/or heart team, is clinically significant and requires revascularization

- Non-ambulatory NYHA Class IV symptoms of heart failure or subjects in cardiogenic
shock or with hemodynamic instability requiring IV inotropic support or mechanical
support devices

- Subject has the need for emergent surgery for any reason

- Subjects in whom sufficient quality of echocardiography (TTE and TEE) cannot be
obtained

- Echocardiography evidence of primary mitral valve disease causing MR or MS;

- Moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension (PA systolic pressure = 80 mm Hg) as
assessed by echocardiography

- Evidence of mitral valve stenosis with an estimated valve area less than 3.5 cm2

- Mitral valve pathology that would prevent adequate function of the GDS Accucinch
System

- Subject is on dialysis or estimated GFR < 30mL/min/1.73m2 (Cockcroft-Gault Formula)d d
Israni AK, et al. Laboratory Assessment of Kidney Disease, in Brenner and Rector's The
Kidney, 9th ed. chapter 25

- Greater than mild mitral annular calcification observed by fluoroscopy

- Presence of aortic valve prosthesis

- Moderate to severe aortic valve stenosis or calcification observed by echocardiography
or fluoroscopy

- Severe aortic arch calcification or mobile aortic atheroma observed by
echocardiography or fluoroscopy

- Active bacterial endocarditis or active sepsis

- History of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy

- History of stroke within the prior 6 months

- Subjects in whom anticoagulation is contraindicated

- Any clinical evidence that the investigator feels would place the subject at increased
risk with the placement of the device

- Concurrent medical condition with a life expectancy of less than 12 months

- Currently participating in another investigational drug or device study that has not
reached its primary endpoint

- Co-morbid conditions that place the subject at an unacceptable surgical risk (e.g.
severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hepatic failure, immunological
abnormalities, and hematological abnormalities)

- Subject with indication for concomitant surgery such as coronary artery bypass graft
(CABG), aortic valve reconstruction or replacement, left ventricular remodeling
surgery and congenital repair

- Any cardiac resynchronization therapy within the last 9 months prior to treatment

- Subject on high dose steroids or immunosuppressant therapy

- Current problems with substance abuse (e.g. alcohol, illegal drugs, etc.)

- Female subjects who are pregnant, lactating, or planning pregnancy within next the 36
months. Note: Childbearing age should be instructed to use safe contraception during
their participation in this study.

- Subjects who are unable or unwilling to comply with the follow-up schedule and
requirements

- Subject has known hypersensitivity to contrast agents that cannot be adequately
pre-medicated or has known hypersensitivity to study required medications, to nickel,
or to polyurethanes

- Femoral artery lumen diameter of < 5.5 mm, or severe ilio-femoral tortuosity or
calcification that would prevent safe placement of the 16Fr introducer sheath
