New heart valve study aims to fix leaky valve without Open-Heart surgery
NCT ID NCT06906926
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is tracking 80 people with severe pulmonary valve regurgitation (a leaky heart valve) who receive the Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve. The valve is placed through a catheter, avoiding open-heart surgery. Researchers will check if the valve works well and stays in place at 6 months, and track survival and need for repeat procedures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV) System
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the Harmony valve is a safe and effective option for replacing a leaky pulmonary valve without open-heart surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a post-market study, not a new treatment test. It is small (80 people) and observational, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include valve failure or need for reintervention.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject eligible to receive Harmony TPV System in conformity with Instructions for Use (IFU) and local regulations at time of study enrollment. 2. Subject or subject's parent(s)/legal guardian(s) must be willing and able to consent to participate in the study and will commit to completion of all follow-up requirements Exclusion Criteria: 1. Obstruction of the central veins. 2. Planned concomitant branch pulmonary artery stenting at time of implant. 3. Subjects previously treated with an RV-PA conduit or previously implanted bioprosthesis. 4. A major or progressive non-cardiac disease (e.g. liver failure, renal failure, cancer) that results in a life expectancy of less than one year. 5. Planned implantation of the Harmony TPV in the left heart. 6. Echocardiographic evidence of intracardiac mass, thrombus, or vegetation. 7. Pre-existing prosthetic heart valve or prosthetic ring in any position 8. Subject is pregnant as confirmed by a positive pregnancy test before implant procedure for female subjects of childbearing potential. 9. Subjects that are vulnerable as defined in the Section 10.5 Subject Consent Subject Consent Section excerpt: * Vulnerable adults, defined as subjects incapable of giving consent, as assessed per Investigator's opinion and in consideration of vulnerable adult definition per ISO 14155, will not be included in this study. * Any subject with mental incompetence (e.g. Alzheimer's, dementia, psychiatric disorders, developmental disorders, chromosomal abnormalities with associated cognitive impairment) should be assessed by the Investigator for vulnerable status. If pediatric or adult subject is deemed by the Investigator mentally incompetent as described above, the subject will not be included in this study.
