ACURATE IDE: Safety and Effectiveness Study of ACURATE Valve for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

March 21, 2024 updated by: Boston Scientific Corporation

ACURATE IDE: Transcatheter Replacement of Stenotic Aortic Valve Through Implantation of ACURATE in Subjects InDicatEd for TAVR

To evaluate safety and effectiveness of the ACURATE Transfemoral Aortic Valve System for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in subjects with severe native aortic stenosis who are indicated for TAVR.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Subjects will be enrolled at up to 85 centers in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. There will be up to 2,820 subjects in ACURATE IDE.

The ACURATE IDE study cohorts include the following.

  • Main Randomized Cohort: A prospective, multicenter, 1:1 randomized controlled trial (RCT; ACURATE versus a commercially available balloon-expandable SAPIEN 3™ Transcatheter Heart Valve or future iteration [SAPIEN 3; Edwards Lifesciences LLC, Irvine, CA, USA] or a commercially available self-expanding CoreValve® Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement System, CoreValve® Evolut™ R Recapturable TAVR System, EVOLUT™ PRO System, or future iteration [CoreValve; Medtronic, Inc., Dublin, Ireland]). There will be up to 1,500 subjects in the RCT.
  • Roll-In Cohort: A non-randomized roll-in phase with the test device. Centers that do not have implantation experience with the ACURATE neo™ Aortic Bioprosthesis (transfemoral delivery; Boston Scientific Corporation, Marlborough, MA, USA) will perform at least 2 roll-in cases before commencing treatment in the randomized cohort. Centers with prior experience with ACURATE are not required to do roll-in cases. Data from roll-in subjects will be summarized separately from the randomized cohort and will not be included in the primary endpoint analysis.
  • 4D CT Imaging Substudy: Selected centers with the ability to perform high quality 4D computer tomography (CT) scans will include subjects in a 4D CT Imaging Substudy to assess the prevalence of reduced leaflet mobility and hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) and the relationship, if any, to clinical events. Subjects will be randomized to test (ACURATE) and control device.
  • ACURATE Prime™ XL Nested Registry: A non-randomized, nested registry cohort of subjects who will receive the ACURATE Prime™ Transfemoral Aortic Valve System XL (ACURATE Prime XL Nested Registry). Participating centers will be a subset of United States centers that have enrolled subjects in ACURATE IDE. Data from subjects in this nested registry will be summarized separately from the randomized and roll-in cohorts.
  • ACURATE Extended Durability Study: An additional 1:1 randomized study (ACURATE versus a commercially available balloon-expandable SAPIEN 3™ Transcatheter Heart Valve or future iteration [SAPIEN 3; Edwards Lifesciences LLC, Irvine, CA, USA] or a commercially available self-expanding CoreValve® Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement System, CoreValve® Evolut™ R Recapturable TAVR System, EVOLUT™ PRO System, or future iteration [CoreValve; Medtronic, Inc., Dublin, Ireland]) including only subjects considered to be at low surgical risk. Subjects will receive ACURATE neo2 (S, M, or L valve sizes) or ACURATE Prime XL. Data from subjects in the Extended Durability Study will be summarized separately from other cohorts.
  • ACURATE Continued Access Study (CAS): An additional cohort of subjects receiving ACURATE neo2 (S, M, and L valve sizes) or ACURATE Prime XL. Data from subjects in the ACURATE CAS will be summarized separately from other cohorts and will be used to further assess performance and safety.

All subjects implanted will be followed at baseline, peri- and post-procedure, at discharge or 7 days post-procedure (whichever comes first), 30 days, 6 months, and then annually for up to 10 years post-procedure. Enrolled subjects who do not have a study device implanted will be assessed through 1-year post-procedure for safety/adverse events.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • IC1. Subject has documented severe symptomatic native aortic stenosis defined as follows: aortic valve area (AVA) ≤1.0 cm2 (or AVA index ≤0.6 cm2/m2) AND a mean pressure gradient ≥40 mmHg, OR maximal aortic valve velocity ≥4.0 m/s, OR Doppler velocity index ≤0.25 as measured by echocardiography and/or invasive hemodynamics.

Note: In cases of low flow, low gradient aortic stenosis with left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction <50%), dobutamine can be used to assess the grade of aortic stenosis (maximum dobutamine dose of 20 mcg/kg/min recommended); the subject may be enrolled if echocardiographic criteria are met with this augmentation.

  • IC2.
