Pivotal Study of a Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair System

EVEREST II Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) is a prospective, multi-center, randomized study of the MitraClip® System in the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation, randomizing patients to MitraClip or mitral valve surgery. The EVEREST II High Risk Registry (HRR) study is a prospective multi-center study of the MitraClip System for the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation in high surgical risk patients. Enrollment in the RCT and HRR is closed. A continued access prospective, multi-center study (REALISM) of the MitraClip System in a surgical population (non-high risk arm) and a high surgical risk population (high risk arm) is ongoing. Enrollment in the non-high risk arm of REALISM is closed. Enrollment in the high risk arm of REALISM is ongoing. Patients enrolled in EVEREST II undergo 30-day, 6-month, 12-month, 18-month and 24-month clinical and echocardiographic follow-up, and then annually for 5 years.

Key information

About this study

Prospective, multi-center, randomized study of the safety and effectiveness of an endovascular approach to the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation using the Evalve Cardiovascular Valve Repair System (MitraClip® implant).

A minimum of 279 evaluable patients randomized 2:1 to MitraClip or mitral valve surgery, respectively, are required to test the primary safety and effectiveness endpoints of the RCT. Enrollment in the RCT is now complete. 60 roll-in patients were enrolled under EVEREST II RCT.

38 clinical sites throughout the US and Canada have participated in the RCT and HRR. 37 US sites are participating in REALISM.

The RCT is powered to test the hypothesis MitraClip has both superiority of safety and non-inferiority of effectiveness compared to mitral valve repair or replacement surgery. The HRR is powered to show lower mortality at 30 days with the MitraClip than predicted surgical mortality.

  46. Short Form (SF)-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire.

    Time frame: 30 days

    The SF-36 is a multidimensional, patient-reported survey containing 36 questions on a 0-100 scale measuring physical (Physical Component Score) & mental health status (Mental Component Score) in relation to 8 health concepts: physical functioning, role limitations due to physical or emotional health, bodily pain, general health perceptions, vitality, social functioning, & general mental health. Responses to each of the SF-36 items are scored and expressed as a score on a 0-100 scale (0% in a domain represents the poorest possible QOL&100% indicates full QOL).Higher scores represent better self-perceived health.

    The physical & mental functions were assessed by the Physical Component Summary (PCS) score & Mental Component Summary (MCS) score. Normal PCS and MCS scores vary depending on the demographics of the population studied. The PCS&MCS norms for 65-75 year old are 44 & 52, respectively while the norms for CHF population are 31 & 46, respectively.
