Can a new heart valve match the safety of proven ones?

NCT ID NCT04275726

First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 17, 2026

Summary

This trial tests whether a new transcatheter heart valve (Myval) works as safely and effectively as two existing valves (Sapien and Evolut) in people with severe aortic stenosis, a condition where the heart's main valve narrows. About 768 patients who are eligible for valve replacement will be randomly assigned to receive either the new valve or one of the existing ones. The study tracks major outcomes like death, stroke, bleeding, kidney injury, and valve function to see if the new valve is a viable alternative.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Myval transcatheter heart valve (THV) series
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer patients with severe aortic stenosis another safe and effective valve option for minimally invasive replacement.
What could go wrong
The trial is non-inferiority, meaning it aims to show the new valve is not worse than existing ones, not necessarily better. Risks include complications like bleeding, stroke, or need for a pacemaker.
