Patients Physicians Studies Publications News Company Contact Media Kit Information for Healthcare Professionals Carillon Therapy Cardiac Dimensions is reimagining the solutions available to patients suffering from heart failure (HF) with a completely different treatment approach to help patients live longer, higher quality lives. Our Carillon Mitral Contour System® is a groundbreaking, non-surgical device developed with the goal to safely and effectively treat patients with mitral valve insufficiency. The Carillon Therapy is the only indirect, no-touch, mitral valve repair option designed to produce an annuloplasty effect (i.e. cinching of the valve annulus). International studies have shown that patients treated with the Carillon Therapy often experience positive left ventricular remodeling and have favorable long-term (3-year) survival.1, 2, 3 The Carillon Device is a right-heart transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr) device designed to treat the main cause of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR)—not just the symptoms. The Carillon Therapy can also be used alongside other heart failure treatments should they be needed.4, 5 The distal and proximal anchors of the Carillon Device are connected by a shaping ribbon that utilizes the heart’s venous anatomy to cinch the mitral apparatus. BEFORE Carillon Implant AFTER Carillon Implant The Carillon Implant is deployed using familiar catheter techniques. In addition, real time assessments of implant deployment safety and MR reduction efficacy can be assessed prior to release of the implant. This allows for complete recapture of the implant – if necessary. Additional benefits of this simple right-heart approach include: No transseptal puncture Short 1-hour average implant time1,2,3 Ability to treat less sick (MR grade 2+) patients Preserves future treatment options such as CRT Conscious sedation 10 Fr venous access No long-term DAPT Short user learning curve Results To date, four separate trials have evaluated the safety and performance of the Carillon Therapy—AMADEUS, TITAN, TITAN II, and REDUCE FMR. The latest, the REDUCE FMR Trial, was a landmark fully randomized, blinded, sham-controlled trial of patients. A fifth U.S. pivotal trial, the EMPOWER Trial, is currently enrolling in the United States as well as select other geographies worldwide. Results show that FMR patients treated with the Carillon Therapy experienced a mean acute regurgitant volume (RV) reduction of 8 ml and had favorable long-term (3-year) survival.6,7 In addition, the majority of the patients experience positive results in mechanistic and clinical end points through 12 months. Results from the latest completed trial, REDUCE FMR, are summarized below. REDUCE FMR Clinical Trial The Carillon Therapy is the only TMVr therapy to demonstrate favorable left ventricular remodeling at one year and a significant reduction in RV in a double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled trial (REDUCE FMR). The trial met its primary endpoints and results were consistent with the prior TITAN and TITAN II single-arm, multi-center studies.1,2,3 KEY INCLUSION CRITERIA MR Grade 2+ to 4+ NYHA Class II–IV LVEF ≤50% As a result of site assessed MR grade for the inclusion of patients (and subsequently reviewed by an independent core lab), the following breakout of patients by MR grade were enrolled in the trial: Characteristics of Randomized Patients at Baseline According to ITT Analysis Total (N = 120) Control (n = 33) Treatment (n = 87) Men 87 (72.5) 24 (72.7) 63 (72.4) Mean age, yrs 69.8 ± 9.5 69.1 ± 8.9 70.1 ± 9.7 Cause Ischemic heart disease 80 (66.7) 21 (63.6) 59 (67.8) Nonischemic cardiomyopathy 40 (33.3) 12 (36.4) 28 (32.2) Diabetes mellitus 36 (30.0) 12 (36.4) 24 (27.6) BMI, kg/m2 27.1 ± 5.6 28.1 ± 6.2 26.7 ± 5.3 NYHA functional class II 55 (45.8) 16 (48.5) 39 (44.8) III 63 (52.5) 17 (51.5) 46 (52.9) IV 2 (1.7) 0 (0.0) 2 (2.3) Beta blockers 109 (90.8) 32 (97.0) 77 (88.5) ACE inhibitor/ARB/ARNi 108 (90.0) 29 (87.9) 79 (90.8) Diuretic agent 118 (98.3) 33 (100) 85 (97.7) MRA diuretic agent 73 (60.8) 19 (57.6) 54 (62.1) NT-pro-BNP 2,430 (1,092-4,440) 2,410 (1,151-4,820) 2,505 (1,095-4,386) Device (ICD or PPM) 55 (45.8) 12 (36.4) 43 (49.4) Atrial fibrillation 71 (59.2) 20 (60.6) 51 (58.6) Baseline heart rate, beats/min 70 ± 12 70 ± 11 70 ± 13 Systolic BP, mmÿHg 119 ± 17 119 ± 19 118 ± 16 Diastolic BP, mmÿHg 70 ± 11 67 ± 13 71 ± 11 6-min walk test 302.6 ± 90.6 292.6 ± 91.5 306.4 ± 90.5 LVEF, % 34 ± 9 37 ± 9 34 ± 9 LVEDD, cm 6.4 ± 0.9 6.4 ± 0.9 6.4 ± 0.9 LVESD, cm 5.5 ± 1.0 5.3 ± 1.1 5.5 ± 1.0 LVEDV, ml 187.4 ± 67.9 188.6 ± 75.7 187.0 ± 65.6 LVESV, ml 126.1 ± 56.8 122.0 ± 59.8 127.4 ± 56.1 Mitral regurgitant volume, ml/beat 39.9 ± 23.8 38.1 ± 24.0 40.4 ± 23.9 Mitral regurgitant grade 1+ 35 (29.7) 10 (32.3) 25 (28.7) 2+ 42 (35.6) 8 (25.8) 34 (39.1) 3+ 34 (28.8) 11 (35.5) 23 (26.4) 4+ 7 (5.9) 2 (6.5) 5 (5.7) Mean creatinine, mmol/l 114.1 ± 31.9 118.8 ± 34.1 112.3 ± 31.1 Values are n (%), mean ± SD, or median (interquartile range).
