Abrogation of Mitral Regurgitation Using the MitraClip System in High-Risk Patients Unsuitable for Surgery (ISAR-CLIP)

September 8, 2011 updated by: Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen

Interventional Strategy to Abrogate Mitral Regurgitation Using the MitraClip System in High-Risk Patients Considered Unsuitable for Surgery (ISAR-CLIP)

The primary objective in this randomized trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a MitraClip treatment in symptomatic patients with severe mitral regurgitation in comparison to the previous default medical treatment - in a study population who is not amenable for the conventional surgical approach as current gold standard.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The presence of a significant mitral regurgitation (MR) seriously effects the patient's quality of life and is associated with an increased mortality rate. The operative treatment of MR - either mitral valve repair or replacement - is the current gold standard. However mere half of the patients with a severe and symptomatic MR actually undergo an operative treatment (EURO-HEART-SURVEY) due to restricted left ventricular ejection fraction, elderly patients with co-morbidities and high perioperative morbidity and mortality. In contrast, patients with severe and symptomatic MR not suitable for operation are treated with palliative medical therapy (heart insufficiency therapy). With the development of the MitraClip device - a minimal-invasive, percutaneous catheter-based technique - high-risk patients not suitable for surgery may receive a promising alternative treatment by approximating the mitral leaflets, thus creating a permanent leaflet coaptation and reducing or even abrogating the MR. The current data support the assumption of a safe and effective MR reduction with the MitraClip-System in inoperable high-risk patients with severe MR. But the feasibility still has to be proven in this special patient population.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: percutaneous treatment
Device: percutaneous treatment by implanting a Mitra Clip device
With a minimal-invasive, percutaneous catheter-based technique and trans-septal approach under transesophageal echocardiographic and fluoroscopic guidance, the MitraClip device grasps and approximates the mitral leaflets thus creating a double-orifice mitral valve with a permanent leaflet coaptation and a reduction or even abrogation of mitral regurgitation.
Other Names:
  • Mitra Clip system
NO_INTERVENTION: optimal medical treatment
Device: percutaneous treatment by implanting a Mitra Clip device
With a minimal-invasive, percutaneous catheter-based technique and trans-septal approach under transesophageal echocardiographic and fluoroscopic guidance, the MitraClip device grasps and approximates the mitral leaflets thus creating a double-orifice mitral valve with a permanent leaflet coaptation and a reduction or even abrogation of mitral regurgitation.

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
Time Frame
Improvement of Dyspnoea of at least one class (NYHA-Classification)
Time Frame: after 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.
