Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards SAPIEN 3/SAPIEN 3 Ultra Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) compared with clinical surveillance (CS) in asymptomatic patients with severe, calcific aortic stenosis.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: Edwards SAPIEN 3 / SAPIEN 3 Ultra THV
N/A

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter study. Patients will be randomized to receive either transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the Edwards SAPIEN 3 / SAPIEN 3 Ultra THV or clinical surveillance. Patients will be stratified by whether they are able to perform a treadmill stress test. Patients who have a positive stress test will be followed in a registry to collect data on subsequent treatment and mortality, as applicable.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. All-cause death, all stroke, and unplanned cardiovascular hospitalization [When all patients have reached 2-year follow-up]

      The number of patients that have any of these conditions

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Composite of 1) alive, 2) Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score ≥75 and 3) KCCQ decrease ≤10 points [2 years]

      The number of patients that meet all of these criteria

    2. Left Ventricular Health [2 years]

      Echocardiographic measurements that will assess the health of the left ventricle

    3. Change in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) [2 years]

      The average change in LVEF from baseline

    4. New onset atrial fibrillation [When all patients have reached 2-year follow-up]

      The number of patients that develop this condition

    5. Death or disabling stroke [When all patients have reached 2-year follow-up]

      The number of patients that have any of these conditions

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    65 Years and Older
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    All
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    Inclusion Criteria:
    1. 65 years of age or older

    2. Severe aortic stenosis

    3. Patient is asymptomatic

    4. LV ejection fraction ≥ 50%

    Exclusion Criteria:
    1. Patient is symptomatic

    2. Patient has any concomitant valvular, aortic, coronary artery disease requiring surgery making AVR a Class I indication.

    3. Native aortic annulus size unsuitable for sizes 20, 23, 26, or 29 mm THV

    4. Iliofemoral vessel characteristics that would preclude safe placement of the introducer sheath.

    5. Left ventricular outflow tract calcification that would increase the risk of annular rupture or significant paravalvular leak post TAVR

    6. Evidence of an acute myocardial infarction ≤ 30 days before randomization

    7. Aortic valve is unicuspid, bicuspid with unfavorable features for TAVR, or is non-calcified

    9. Severe mitral regurgitation (>3+) or ≥ moderate mitral stenosis

    10. Pre-existing mechanical or bioprosthetic valve in any position

    11. Symptomatic carotid or vertebral artery disease or successful treatment of carotid stenosis within 30 days of randomization

    12. Leukopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy, or hypercoagulable states

    13. Hemodynamic or respiratory instability requiring inotropic support, mechanical ventilation or mechanical heart assistance within 30 days of randomization

    14. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with obstruction

    15. Cardiac imaging evidence of intracardiac mass, thrombus or vegetation

    16. Inability to tolerate or condition precluding treatment with anti-thrombotic therapy

    17. Stroke or transient ischemic attack within 90 days of randomization

    18. Renal insufficiency and/or renal replacement therapy

    19. Active bacterial endocarditis within 180 days of randomization

    20. Severe lung disease or currently on home oxygen

    21. Severe pulmonary hypertension

    22. History of cirrhosis or any active liver disease

    23. Significant frailty as determined by the Heart Team

    24. Significant abdominal or thoracic aortic disease that would preclude safe passage of the delivery system

    25. Patient refuses blood products

    26. BMI >50 kg/m2

    27. Estimated life expectancy <24 months

    28. Absolute contraindications or allergy to iodinated contrast that cannot be adequately treated with pre-medication

    29. Currently participating in an investigational drug or another device study.

    30. Active SARS-CoV-2 infection (Coronavirus-19 [COVID-19]) or previously diagnosed with COVID-19 with sequelae that could confound endpoint assessments
