NCT ID NCT05685303

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

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

Summary

This study tests a device that creates a small opening between the heart's upper chambers to relieve pressure in people with chronic heart failure. Unlike other shunts, this one leaves no permanent implant behind. The trial will compare the device to a sham procedure in 700 patients and measure effects on survival, heart failure events, and quality of life after one year.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Alleviant ALV1 System (a device that creates a small passage between the upper chambers of the heart without leaving a permanent implant)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, less invasive way to lower pressure in the heart and reduce symptoms for people with a certain type of heart failure.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with no prior proof of benefit in humans. The sham control means some patients may not improve, and there are risks from the catheter procedure itself.
