Clinical Trial Summary

Aim of this study is to investigate the clinical safety of a novel pediatric heart valve.


Clinical Trial Description

Defective or diseased pulmonary heart valves do not recover. If left untreated, pediatric and adult patients alike, face serious risks of progressive heart failure and death. Due to the insufficient care of children with heart valve defects, the valve replacement with regenerative, remodeling, and growth potential remains an unmet medical need. Therefore, the first pediatric heart valve (GrOwnValve) was developed to overcome the current limitations, which should offer regenerative potential that adapts to the somatic growth of the child. The study aims to investigate the safety and provide the first initial efficacy estimates of the transcatheter implantable GrOwnValve. This first prospective, non-randomized, single center trial in 7 study subjects (≥ 18 years of age) should be conducted to assess the devices safety for clinical application. The novel interdisciplinary solution approach is based on the combination of individualized 3D modeling, viable autologous tissue (contrary to all other prosthetic heart valves on the market), and preservation of the regenerative capacity of the valve replacement by maintaining the vitality of heart valve cells and tissue through the application of a novel crosslinker in the tissue preparation process. The GrOwnValve prothesis has the potential to be the first durable and regenerative heart valve for adults. Fabrication is performed on-demand in the operating room. The trial should be the first clinical investigation assessing this novel heart valve replacement approach. We are aiming for the GrOwnValve to be the standard of care, replacing current solutions. ;
