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 Results may not be published yet.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
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 early study tests a new device called the Laplace TTVR System, which is designed to replace the tricuspid valve without open-heart surgery. It involves 15 people aged 60-90 with severe tricuspid regurgitation that continues despite medication. The main goal is to see if the device can be safely implanted and works as intended.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Laplace TTVR System (a device for replacing the tricuspid valve without open-heart surgery)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a less invasive treatment option for people with severe tricuspid regurgitation who are not helped by medication alone.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study (15 people) focused on safety and feasibility. The device may not work as expected, and there are risks from the procedure itself, such as complications from valve implantation.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. 60 - 90 years of age at the time of the study procedure 2. Symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation despite being adequately treated with optimal medical therapy by the Local Heart Team for at least 30 days prior to the time of study consent. 3.

Severe COPD dependent on home oxygen or chronic home oxygen use 6. Echocardiographic evidence of severe right ventricular dysfunction 7. Severe aortic, mitral and/or pulmonic valve stenosis and/or regurgitation requiring treatment 8. New or untreated right heart chamber or/and superior vena cava intracardiac mass, thrombus, or vegetation 9. Presence of significant congenital heart disease including but not limited to hemodynamically significant atrial septal defect, RV dysplasia, and arrhythmogenic RV. 10. Untreatable hypersensitivity or contraindication to any of the following: Aspirin, and Clopidogrel or Ticlopidine, Heparin, and Bivalirudin, Warfarin, or DOAC, Nitinol Alloys. 11. Severe renal insufficiency defined as eGFR \<25 mL/min or requiring chronic renal replacement therapy at the time of screening committee review. 12. Current history (within last 5 years) of illicit drug use. 13. Any percutaneous cardiovascular intervention, cardiovascular surgery, or carotid surgery, within last 30 days. Implant or revision of any rhythm management device (CRT or CRT-D) or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator or leadless pacemaker within 90 days prior to the study procedure 14. Need for emergent, urgent or planned surgery or intervention within 30 days following the study procedure. Planned or scheduled cardiac surgery within next 12 months. 15.
