New heart pump gives hope to advanced heart failure patients

NCT ID NCT06878508

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested a device called the DuoCor Ventricular Assist System, an implantable heart pump for people with advanced heart failure. Eight adult patients who needed support for both sides of the heart received the pump. The main goal was to see if patients survived for 3 months after implantation, either with the device, after a heart transplant, or after their heart recovered enough to remove the pump.

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult patients who require biventricular mechanical circulatory support, defined by either of the following criteria: * Persistent total heart failure despite optimal medical management based on current heart failure practice guidelines; OR * Development of refractory right heart failure following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, unresponsive to pharmacological interventions for right heart failure. 2. Patient has signed the informed consent, has full understanding of procedures, and is committed to following study requirements. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Intolerance to anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapies or any other peri/post-operative therapy the investigator will require based upon the patient's health status. 2. Technical obstacles which pose the implantation as unsuitable, obtaining the body type, body surface area, and anatomical conditions related to the planned implantation site, in the judgment of the experienced investigators. 3. Pregnancy. 4. Age \> 75 years. 5. Presence of an active, uncontrolled infection. 6. Brain death. 7. History of confirmed, untreated abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) \> 5 cm in diameter. 8. Irreversible cognitive dysfunction, psychosocial issues, or psychiatric disease, likely to impair compliance with the study protocol and DuoCor VAS management which, in the opinion of the investigator, could interfere with the ability to manage the therapy.
