About this trial

The objective of this prospective, randomized, double- blinded (patient and assessors), sham-controlled clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of the CMCS in treating heart failure with functional regurgitation (FMR).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Symptomatic heart failure with functional (secondary) mitral regurgitation of at least 1+ (mild) severity

NYHA II, III, or IV

Six Minute Walk distance ≥ 100 meters and ≤ 600 meters

Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction ≤ 50%

Disqualifiers

Presence of a mechanical or bio-prosthetic mitral valve or, mitral valve annuloplasty, or leaflet repair device

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)

Severe tricuspid regurgitation associated with right ventricular dysfunction and enlargement

Severe mitral annular calcification

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Carillon Mitral Contour System

    Device

    The Carillon implant is designed to be deployed, tensioned, and locked in the coronary vein in order to reshape the mitral annulus and thus reduce mitral annular dilation and mitral regurgitation.

  • Guideline Directed Heart Failure Medication

    Other intervention

    Heart failure medication per ACC/AHA guidelines

Treatment groups

300 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Intervention GroupExperimental treatment 2 interventions
Group B: Control GroupActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Primary Safety Objective - Freedom from Major Adverse Events

Freedom from a composite of major adverse events (defined as Device Embolization, Vessel Erosion, Cardiac Perforation, and occurrence of cardiac surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention) in the Intervention group is greater than performance goal of 90%.

Time frame
12 months
2

Primary Efficacy Objective 1 - Hierarchical Clinical Composite

To demonstrate that the CMCS (Intervention) group is superior to the Control group on the hierarchical composite endpoint of death, Cardiac transplantation or LVAD implantation, unplanned percutaneous or surgical mitral valve intervention, unplanned heart failure hospitalization, change in KCCQ overall summary score, and change in six-minute walk distance at 24 months (analyzed when the last subject completes 12 months of follow-up.)

Time frame
24 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Secondary Efficacy Objective 1- Regurgitant Volume

To compare regurgitant volume change relative to control from baseline through 12 months of follow up in patients with at least MR grade 2+ at baseline

Time frame
12 months
2

Secondary Efficacy Objective 2 - Change in LV End-diastolic Volume

To compare the change from baseline left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) relative to the Control group.

Time frame
12 months
3

Secondary Efficacy Objective 3 - Change in NYHA

To compare the change from baseline in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification, relative to Control, at twelve (12) months

Time frame
12 months
4

Secondary Efficacy Objective 4 - Hierarchical Clinical Composite

To compare the first four components of the hierarchical primary efficacy endpoint, relative to Control, analyzed when the last subject completes 12 months of follow up and use all available data up to twenty-four (24) months

Time frame
12 months
