About this trial

This study is a prospective, randomized, parallel-control, open-label, multicenter clinical trial. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the Device group (Interventional group) or to no Device group (Control Group). The objective is to identify the safety and effectiveness of the TEER for the treatment of moderate-to-severe (3+) or severe (4+) atrial functional mitral regurgitation (aFMR) in patients who are symptomatic despite maximally tolerated guideline directed medical therapy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18 years or older

Atrial FMR (FMR must be atrial in etiology without ventricular leaflet tethering)

Severe MR (3+ or 4+) defined as either 1) an effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) ≥0.3 cm² or pulmonary-venous systolic flow reversal (PSVFR), or 2) in the absence of PSVFR, EROA measures 0.20-0.29 cm² with one or more of the following: regurgitant volume ≥45 mL/beat, regurgitant fraction ≥40%, or vena contracta width ≥0.5 cm.

LV ejection fraction ≥40% without more than mild regional wall motion abnormalities

Disqualifiers

Patient is clinically unstable or has been hospitalized within the prior 30 days.

Primary degenerative or organic mitral valve disease such as prolapse, Barlow's disease, rheumatic heart valve disease causing leaflet thickening, leaflet clefts or perforation, endocarditis, etc. Note: A small amount of mitral leaflet thickening or other abnormality may be present, but it cannot be the primary cause of MR.

Moderate or severe mitral annular calcification, or any degree of mitral annular calcification if it is the primary cause of the MR or would interfere with TEER.

Mitral valve area (MVA) <4.0 cm² or mean trans-mitral valve gradient >4 mmHg.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Time to first occurrence of a composite event of death from any cause, hospitalization for [worsening] heart failure or unplanned outpatient [worsening] heart failure event within 24 months

Time to first occurrence of a composite event of death from any cause, hospitalization for \[worsening\] heart failure or unplanned outpatient \[worsening\] heart failure event within 24 months * Hospitalization for heart failure requires an admission to an in-patient unit or an emergency room stay for ≥24 hours (or \<24 hours if subject dies in the emergency room). * Outpatient worsening heart failure requires an unplanned visit to a doctor's office, urgent care center or emergency room visit with stay \<24 hours. * Worsening heart failure must be present for both conditions, the definition of which requires all three of the following to be present: 1. Deterioration of HF symptoms: at least 1 of the following symptoms 2. Deterioration of HF signs: 2 physical examination findings or 1 physical examination + 1 laboratory or invasive finding 3. Urgent escalation of therapy
