Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Existence of a full (circumferential) RVOT conduit that was equal to or greater than 16 mm in diameter when originally implanted
  • Dysfunctional RVOT conduits with a clinical indication for intervention (regurgitation ≥ moderate regurgitation, Stenosis: mean RVOT gradient ≥ 35 mmHg)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Implantation in the aortic or mitral position
  • Venous anatomy unable to accommodate a 22-fr size introducer sheath
  • Obstruction of the central veins

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Acceptable TPV Hemodynamic Function at Six Months After Successful TPV Implantation
Time Frame: 6 months

Acceptable TPV hemodynamic function at six months after successful TPV implantation is determined as a composite of the following:

  • Mean RVOT gradient is less than or equal to 30 mmHg as measured by CW Doppler, and
  • Severity of pulmonary regurgitation is less than moderate by Doppler echocardiography, and
  • Free from RVOT conduit reoperation or catheter re-intervention at six months after TPV implantation.

The endpoint is defined as the percentage of subjects with acceptable TPV hemodynamic function at six months after Melody valve implantation.
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Procedural Success
Time Frame: 6 Months

Procedural success is defined as a composite of the following:

  • The TPV is fixated within the desired location, and
  • The RV-PA peak-to-peak gradient measured in the catheterization lab after TPV implantation is less than 35 mmHg, and
  • There is no more than trivial pulmonary regurgitation by angiography
  • The subject is free from explantation of the TPV at 24 hours post-implant
6 Months
Serious Procedural Adverse Events
Time Frame: 6 Months
A procedure-related event is defined as an event that is associated with the implant procedure by the chronology or physiology and was caused by the implant procedure (e.g. rupture of the conduit or damage to an intra-cardiac or intravascular structure by the delivery system).
6 Months
Serious Device-related Adverse Events
Time Frame: 6 months
A device-related event is defined as an event that is associated with the TPV by the chronology or physiology and was caused by the the TPV (e.g. embolization of the TPV and any adverse events which follow).
6 months
Changes in NYHA Functional Classification
Time Frame: 6 Months
Change in NYHA functional class from pre-implant to 6 month post-implant
6 Months

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
