Clinical Trial Summary

The Trifecta™ LTFU Study is a single-arm, multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, post-market study conducted in the United States and Canada to collect long-term safety and effectiveness data through 10 years after implant of the Trifecta™ aortic bioprosthetic valve. The Trifecta™ is a tri-leaflet stented pericardial valve designed for supraannular placement in the aortic position. The Trifecta™ LTFU Study is an extension of the Trifecta™ Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Study (NCT00475709) conducted to support United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the Trifecta™ valve. All Trifecta™ LTFU Study subjects received Trifecta™ valve implants during participation in the Trifecta™ IDE study and subsequently consented to extended annual follow-up through 10 years under the Trifecta™ LTFU protocol.


Description:

This clinical study was designed as an extension of the Trifecta™ IDE Study supporting FDA approval of the Trifecta™ valve. A total of 11 Trifecta™ IDE Study investigational sites in the United States (n=9) and Canada (n=2) participated in the Trifecta™ LTFU Study. Study enrollment included 329 subjects implanted from 2007 through 2009 at these 11 sites during the IDE Study who consented to participate in continued annual follow-up through 10 years post-implant. Of these 329 subjects, 140 also participated in the FDA-mandated Trifecta™ Post-Approval Study (PAS, NCT01514162) prior to consenting to additional annual follow-up under the Trifecta™ LTFU protocol. The remaining 189 subjects entered the Trifecta™ LTFU Study directly from the Trifecta™ IDE Study. The Trifecta™ LTFU Study database subsumes all data collected in the 329 participants under the Trifecta™ IDE and Trifecta™ PAS protocols and extends these data through 10 years from each subject's original date of implant in the Trifecta™ IDE Study. The Trifecta™ LTFU Study data thus encompass 10 years of continuous annual post-implant follow-up in the 329 participants as well as their pre-implant Baseline Visit data. Data collected includes adverse events, assessments of heart failure symptoms by New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification, and echocardiographic assessments of Trifecta™ valve function.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Number of Late Adverse Events Per 100 Patient-Years of Follow-up Late adverse events are defined those occurring from 31 days through 10 years post-implant. This outcome measure is calculated by dividing the number of late adverse events of each type by the total number of patient-years of follow-up accumulated from 31 days through 10 years post-implant, expressed in hundreds of years. 31 days through 10 years post-implant
Other Participants' Average Mean Transvalvular Gradient at 10 Years Post-implant by Valve Size Average of participants' mean aortic transvalvular pressure gradient measured by echocardiography at 10 years post-implant. Averages are reported for each valve size separately. The mean transvalvular pressure gradient is the mean difference in pressure between the inlet side and outlet side of the aortic valve during systole, measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). 10 years post-implant
Other Participants' Mean Aortic Effective Orifice Area (EOA) Measurement at 10 Years Post-Implant by Valve Size Effective orifice area represents the cross-sectional area of the blood flow downstream of the aortic valve estimated by echocardiography. Mean EOA in square centimeters is reported separately for each valve size. 10 years post-implant
Other Number of Participants by Aortic Valvular Regurgitation Grade at 10 Years Post-Implant Regurgitation occurs when the aortic valve does not fully seal, allowing backflow of blood through the closed valve. The amount of aortic regurgitation in this study was graded as none, trivial, mild, moderate or severe by echocardiographic assessment. Moderate or severe aortic regurgitation can cause symptoms of heart failure, such as fatigue, shortness of breath and exercise intolerance. 10 years post-implant
Other Number of Participants by New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class, Preoperatively and at 10 Years Post-Implant The New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification system relates heart failure symptoms to everyday activities and the patient's quality of life.
Class I. No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea (shortness of breath).
Class II. Slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea.
Class III. Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea.
Class IV. Unable to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of heart failure at rest. If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort increases.
Preoperative through 10 years
Primary Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Reoperation for Structural Valve Deterioration at 10 Years Post-Implant Percentage of participants free from surgical explant or valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation for treatment of structural deterioration of the Trifecta™ valve through 10 years post-implant. This percentage is estimated from time-to-event data using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Structural valve deterioration is deterioration intrinsic to the bioprosthetic valve, due to leaflet calcification, leaflet tears, or other causes, that results in prosthetic valve stenosis or regurgitation. 10 years post-implant
Secondary Percentage of Participants With Freedom From All-Cause Mortality at 10 Years Post-Implant Percentage of participants free of death from any cause through 10 years after implant with the Trifecta™ valve, estimated from time-to-event data using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. 10 years post-implant
Secondary Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Valve-Related Mortality at 10 Years Post-Implant Percentage of participants free from death related to the Trifecta™ valve through 10 years after implant, estimated from time-to-event data using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Valve-related mortality includes deaths due to any of the following events involving the study valve: structural valvular deterioration, nonstructural valve dysfunction, valve thrombosis, embolism, bleeding events, endocarditis, or reoperation. Sudden, unexplained deaths of participants implanted with the Trifecta™ valve are also counted as valve-related mortality. 10 years post-implant
Secondary Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Structural Valve Deterioration at 10 Years Post-Implant Percentage of participants free of structural deterioration of the Trifecta valve through 10 years after implant, estimated from time-to-event data using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Structural valve deterioration is deterioration intrinsic to the bioprosthetic valve, due to leaflet calcification, leaflet tears, or other causes, that results in prosthetic valve stenosis or regurgitation. The presence of structural valve deterioration is determined by direct visualization of the valve at explant or autopsy or by echocardiographic or other cardiac imaging criteria for assessment of valvular stenosis and regurgitation. 10 years post-implant
