New device aims to plug leaky heart valve in heart failure patients
NCT ID NCT03142152
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a device called the Carillon Mitral Contour System in 300 people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve. The device is placed in a vein to help the valve close better, reducing blood backflow. The goal is to see if it improves symptoms, walking ability, and reduces hospital stays compared to a sham procedure.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Symptomatic heart failure with functional (secondary) mitral regurgitation of at least 1+ (mild) severity 2. NYHA II, III, or IV 3. Six Minute Walk distance ≥ 100 meters and ≤ 600 meters 4. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction ≤ 50% 5. LVEDD: * ≥ 55 mm (women) * ≥ 57 mm (men) 6. LVESD ≤ 75 mm 7. Corrected NT-proBNP \> 1200 pg/ml measured within 60 days of randomization, and/or one or more heart failure hospitalizations within one year prior to consent or one or more outpatient visits for intensification of heart failure therapy within one year prior to consent. 8. Optimal Guideline directed heart failure medical therapy assessed by the Central Review Committee 9. Age ≥ 18 years old 10. Carillon implant can be sized and placed in accordance with the IFU 11. The subject has been informed of the nature of the trial and agrees to its provisions, including the possibility of randomization to the Control group and returning for all required post-procedure follow-up visits, and has provided written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of a mechanical or bio-prosthetic mitral valve or, mitral valve annuloplasty, or leaflet repair device 2. Significant organic mitral valve pathology (e.g., moderate or severe myxomatous degeneration, with or without mitral leaflet prolapse, rheumatic disease, full or partial chordal rupture) 3. Severe tricuspid regurgitation associated with right ventricular dysfunction and enlargement 4. Severe mitral annular calcification 5. Severe aortic stenosis 6. Expected to require any cardiac surgery, including surgery for coronary artery disease (CAD) or valve disease within one (1) year 7. Chronic, severe, medical conditions or pathology, other than heart failure, that will prevent likely survival beyond twelve (12) months or any other medical condition that, in the judgement of the Investigator or Central Review Committee, makes the patient a poor candidate for this study * An entire list of eligibility is available in the clinical investigational plan
