A Feasibility Study of the Millipede Transcatheter Annuloplasty Ring System in Patients With Functional Mitral Regurgitation

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of the Millipede Transcatheter Annuloplasty Ring System in subjects with functional mitral regurgitation

Detailed Description
-----------------
The Millipede Feasibility Study is a prospective, open-label, single-arm study to assess the safety and feasibility/performance of the Millipede Transcatheter Annuloplasty Ring System in subjects with functional mitral regurgitation. The study will include subjects with functional mitral regurgitation classified as moderate to severe (3+) or severe (4+) that are symptomatic (NYHA Class II-IV) despite guideline directed medical therapy in whom the local hearth team determines that surgery is not an option for mitral valve repair. Clinical follow-up will be required in hospital, 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 12 months, and then annually through 5 years post-procedure. Subjects who have any part of the Millipede Transcatheter Annuloplasty Ring System introduced into the body but who do not end up with an implant will be followed through 30 days.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Mitral Valve Repair<br>All subjects will receive mitral valve repair using the Millipede System | Device: Millipede Transcatheter Annuloplasty Ring System (Millipede System)<br>* The Millipede Transcatheter Annuloplasty Ring System is a repair device used for treating mitral valve regurgitation (MR). The system consists of several components: a transcatheter annuloplasty ring (implant) which remains in the body and a delivery system and intracardiac echocardiography catheter (imaging device) used to deliver the implant to the mitral valve.<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Primary Technical Success Endpoint | Technical Success (measured at exit from the catheterization laboratory) is defined per Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium (MVARC ). All of the following must be present: Absence of procedural mortality; and Successful access, delivery and retrieval of the device delivery system; and Successful deployment and correct positioning of the first intended device; and Freedom from emergency surgery or reintervention related to the device or access procedure. | Index procedure exit from the catheterization laboratory | 
| Primary Safety Endpoint | The composite (aggregate) of the following implant-related and/or delivery-related serious adverse events (SAEs) at 30 days post index procedure (based on MVARC definitions and adjudicated by an independent clinical events committee). The unit of outcome measure is % (n/N): Mortality: all-cause Stroke: disabling and non-disabling; Bleeding: life-threatening based MVARC scale Major access site vascular complications Major cardiac structural complications due to access-related issues Acute kidney injury (AKI; ≤7 days post index procedure): based on the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) --System Stage 3 (including renal replacement therapy) or Stage 2 Myocardial infarction (MI; periprocedural [≤48 hours] or spontaneous [>48 hours]) Coronary ischemia requiring percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft Any valve-related dysfunction, migration, thrombosis, or other complication requiring surgery or repeat intervention | 30 days post index procedure |
