A Clinical Study of X-Clip Mitral Valve Clip System and Steerable Guide System for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair of Degenerative Mitral Regurgitation

16 de junio de 2026 actualizado por: Shenzhen Lifevalve Medical Scientific Co., Ltd.

A Pre-Market, Prospective, Single-Arm, Open-Label Clinical Study of X-Clip Mitral Valve Clip System and Steerable Guide System for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair of Degenerative Mitral Regurgitation

Shenzhen Lifevalve Medical Scientific Co., Ltd. has developed a new X-Clip Mitral Valve Clip System and its compatible Steerable Guide System, aiming to provide transcatheter mitral valve repair for patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation. The two systems have completed all preclinical tests, including design verification tests, biological evaluation, and animal studies. All the test results confirmed that the systems met relevant design requirements. A First-in-Man clinical study was conducted in China in 2023, involving 11 patients. The study provides initial evidence that the X-Clip Mitral Valve Clip System and Steerable Guide System demonstrate favourable safety and efficacy in the treatment of mitral regurgitation in the Chinese population. The device is currently undergoing a pivotal clinical trial in China.

This study is a clinical study aimed to evaluate the safety and performance of the X-Clip Mitral Valve Clip System and Steerable Guide System in European population.

Descripción detallada

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease globally. It is characterized by the backward flow of blood from the left ventricle (LV) into the left atrium (LA) through the mitral valve during systole, usually due to improper closure of the valve leaflets. This hemodynamic impairment can ultimately result in symptoms of heart failure, including fatigue, dyspnea, and progressive left ventricular dysfunction. MR affects 2-3% of the general population, with a prevalence increasing with age. Nearly 1 in 10 individuals aged ≥ 75 years reportedly has moderate or severe MR. This condition is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, making accurate diagnosis and management critical. In Europe, MR represents the second most prevalent valvular disorder requiring cardiac surgical intervention, highlighting its clinical significance in contemporary cardiology practice.

MR is classified based on its underlying etiology and mechanism. Primary mitral regurgitation (PMR), or degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR), results from intrinsic abnormalities of the mitral valve apparatus, such as degenerative changes in the valve leaflets, myxomatous infiltration, calcification of the annulus, or damage to the chordae tendineae. Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR), or functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), typically occurs due to heart failure, left ventricular dilation, and altered coaptation of the mitral annulus. It arises when the mitral valve anatomy is normal, but abnormalities of the left ventricle or the left atrium disrupts the normal valvular function.

Surgical mitral valve intervention remains the gold standard for many patients, particularly those with severe and symptomatic DMR. However, nearly 50% of the patients with MR cannot undergo surgery due to comorbidities, advance age or high surgical risk. For these patients, transcatheter therapies offer a viable alternative, focusing on leaflet or annulus repair, or valve replacement. The most widely used technique is leaflet approximation (mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, M-TEER) with more than 150,000 implantations worldwide. The TEER technique is minimally invasive with low risks. Compared to surgical repair, TEER results in fewer complications and shorter hospital stays.

Several TEER devices are available for MR treatment. Among them, the MitraClip device by Abbott Laboratories is the most widely adopted TEER device globally, while the PASCAL system by Edwards Lifesciences provides an alternative technology that may offer specific advantages in certain clinical scenarios. The X-ClipTM Mitral Valve Clip System and Steerable Guide System shares a similar concept with MitraClip and PASCAL systems but has unique features. It features a larger clamping area and employs a mechanical elastic clip design to ensure precise capture and grasping of leaflets. The system was initially studied in the First-in-Man feasibility study in China, which showed that TEER using the system is feasible and safe for the treating patients with moderate-to-severe and severe mitral regurgitation.

Here, this clinical study aims to further evaluate the safety and performance of the X-ClipTM Mitral Valve Clip System and Steerable Guide System in European population with moderate-to-severe and severe degenerative mitral regurgitation who are at high surgical risk and have suitable mitral anatomy for TEER.
