The Medtronic Harmony™ Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Clinical Study

The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Harmony™ TPV system. The Pivotal/CAS phases of the study have transitioned into a post-approval study to confirm the long-term functionality of transcatheter implantation of the Medtronic Harmony TPV.

About this study

The continued clinical experience addendum is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, interventional study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Harmony TPV system. All implanted subjects will receive the Harmony TPV 22 or Harmony mTPV 25 device. This phase allows up to 45 subjects implanted with TPV 22 in the United States and Canada, and up to 84 subjects implanted with mTPV 25 in the United States.

The Post Approval Phase (PAS) addendum is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, post-market study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Harmony TPV system in the United States. All implanted subjects have been implanted with the Harmony TPV 22 or Harmony mTPV 25 device during the pivotal or CAS phase of the study. The PAS addendum extends follow-up from five years to ten years for consenting subjects.

Treatment and study plan

Harmony TPV System

Device

The Harmony™ TPV (Model NTPV0022) is comprised of a 22mm porcine pericardium valve, sewn to a polyester-covered nitinol frame.

The Harmony TPV 25 and mTPV 25 (Model HTPV254952 and HTPV254252, respectively) is comprised of a 25mm porcine pericardium valve, sewn to a polyester covered asymmetrical hourglass nitinol frame with larger diameter inflow and outflow as well as shorter length compared to TPV 22 (Harmony TPV 25 Model HTPV254952 is not applicable for Continued Clinical Experience).

The Harmony Delivery System (DS) for the TPV 22, TPV 25, and mTPV 25 (NTPVDS0022 and HTPVDS0025) are all 25 Fr delivery systems using a coil loading catheter.

Primary outcomes

  1. Freedom From Procedure- or Device-related Mortality at 30 Days.

    Time frame: 30 days

    The primary safety endpoint is point estimate of freedom from procedure or device-related mortality rate at 30 days post procedure.

  2. Number of Participants With Acceptable Hemodynamic Function Composite at 6 Months

    Time frame: 6 months

    Defined as:

    • Mean RVOT gradient as measured by continuous-wave Doppler ≤40 mmHg -AND-
    • Pulmonary regurgitant fraction as measured by magnetic resonance imaging <20%

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Technical Success at Exit From Catheterization Lab/Operating Room (OR)

    Time frame: At exit from catheterization lab/operating room (OR)

    Technical success at exit from catheterization lab/operating room (OR), as defined as:

    • No device- or procedural-related mortality, with
    • Successful access, delivery and retrieval of the delivery system, and
    • Deployment and correct positioning (including minor repositioning if needed) of the single intended device, and
    • No need for additional unplanned or emergency surgery or re-intervention related to the device or access procedure
  2. Device Success Out to 5 Years

    Time frame: 5 years

    Device success is defined as:

    • No device- or procedural-related mortality, with
    • Original intended device in place, and
    • No additional surgical or interventional procedures related to access or the device since completion of the original procedure (i.e., exit from the catheterization lab), and
    • Intended performance of the device, as defined as:
    • Structural performance: No migration, embolization, detachment, major stent fracture, hemolysis, thrombosis, endocarditis, and
    • Hemodynamic performance: Relief of insufficiency (PR < moderate) without producing the opposite (mean RVOT gradient > 40 mmHg) as measured by continuous wave Doppler, and
    • Absence of para-device complications, as defined by:
    • PVL = moderate, or
    • Erosion, or
    • RVOT or PA rupture
  3. Number of Participants With Procedural Success at 30 Days

    Time frame: 30 days

    Procedural success is defined as:

    • Device success at 30 days, and
    • None of the following device- or procedure-related serious adverse events:
    • Life-threatening major bleed
    • Major vascular or cardiac structural complications required unplanned reintervention or surgery
    • Stage 2 or 3 acute kidney injury (AKI) (includes new dialysis)
    • Pulmonary embolism
    • Severe heart failure (HF) or hypotension requiring IV inotrope, ultrafiltration, or mechanical circulatory support
    • Prolonged intubation >48 hours
  4. Freedom From TPV Dysfunction Out to 5 Years

    Time frame: 5 years (5 year data has an anticipated reporting date of April 2026)

    TPV dysfunction is defined as any one of the following:

    • RVOT reoperation for device-related reasons
    • Catheter re-intervention of TPV
    • Hemodynamic dysfunction of the TPV (moderate or greater pulmonary regurgitation, and/or a mean RVOT gradient >40 mmHg)
  5. Assessment of Safety

    Time frame: Ongoing

    All procedure-related serious adverse events. All device-related serious adverse events. Death (all-cause, procedural, and device-related).

  6. Characterization of Quality of Life Scores Out to 5 Years

    Time frame: Baseline, 30 Day, 6 Month, 1 Year, 2 Year, 3 Year

    Quality of life score over time will be assessed by the SF-36 at pre-implant, 1 month post-implant, 6 months post-implant, 1 year post-implant, 2 years post-implant, and 3 years. The analysis cohort will be the implanted > 24 hours cohort. Minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 100 is possible. Higher values are considered to be a better outcome.

  7. Characterization of Right Ventricle Remodeling Following TPV Implant

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 Month

    Right ventricle remodeling will be assessed via CMR at pre-implant and 6 months post-implant. The analysis cohort will be implanted longer than 24 hours cohort. The characterization will be made using right ventricular end diastolic volume (ml).

  8. Characterization of Quality of Life Scores Out to 5 Years

    Time frame: 4 Year, 5 Year (4 & 5 year data has an anticipated reporting date of April 2026)

    Quality of life score over time will be assessed by the SF-36 at 4 & 5 years. The analysis cohort will be the implanted > 24 hours cohort. Minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 100 is possible. Higher values are considered to be a better outcome.

  9. Characterization of Right Ventricle Remodeling Following TPV Implant

    Time frame: 2 Year, 5 Year (2 & 5 year data has an anticipated reporting date of April 2026)

    Right ventricle remodeling will be assessed via CMR at 2 years post- implant and 5 years post-implant. The analysis cohort will be implanted longer than 24 hours cohort. The characterization will be made using right ventricular end diastolic volume (ml).
