New valve offers hope for leaky heart patients too frail for surgery
NCT ID NCT07075861
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a device called JenaValve Trilogy to replace the aortic valve without open-heart surgery in 75 people with severe aortic regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). Participants are at high risk for surgery. The main goal is to see if the device works safely and stays in place after 12 months, reducing the risk of death and complications.

Who is studied
Patient with severe symptomatic aortic valve regurgitation in a native valve. According to the local experience in TAVR, the number of patients with severe AR deemed at prohibitive surgical risk is around 2/month. Considering a prospective enrollment of 2 years and historical patients collected data for 1 year, the final number of expected patients will be about 75. In fact, according to reference \[1\], a composite of all-cause mortality and heart failure ehospitalization at 1 year had cumulative incidence of about 17%. Therefore, considering an exponential distribution with event rate 0.17 (17 events per 100 person years), 75 patients amount to a total of 75-13\*.5=68 person years. The resulting 95% confidence interval of the cumulative incidence will be 0.06; 0.24 \[2\].

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Considered at high or prohibitive risk for surgical aortic valve replacement by the Heart Team * 18 years of age or older * Suitable anatomy according to the IFU * Absence of significant disease of the ascending aorta, including ascending aortic aneurysm (defined as maximal luminal diameter of 50mm or greater) or atheroma (especially if thick \[\>5mm\], protruding or ulcerated) Exclusion Criteria: The JenaValve Trilogy Heart Valve System is contraindicated for use in patients who have known hypersensitivity or contraindication to Nitinol (titanium and/or nickel), an anti-coagulation/anti-platelet regimen or contrast medium that cannot be managed with premedication, or who have active bacterial endocarditis or other active infections. The JenaValve Trilogy Heart Valve System is contraindicated in those patients whose anatomy does not accommodate the System due to anatomical considerations outlined in the inclusion criteria.
