Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients With Functional Mitral Regurgitation (The COAPT Trial) and COAPT CAS

Overview

The purpose of the Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients with Functional Mitral Regurgitation (COAPT) Trial is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the MitraClip System for the treatment of moderate-to-severe or severe functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in Symptomatic Heart Failure Subjects who are treated per standard of care and who have been determined by the site's local heart team as not appropriate for mitral valve surgery. This randomized controlled trial will provide the opportunity to strengthen or add labeling claims regarding safety and clinical benefits of the MitraClip System for symptomatic heart failure patients with moderate-to-severe or severe functional mitral regurgitation. Approximately 610 subjects will be randomized at up to 100 investigational sites with approximately 305 subjects targeted to receive the study device. COAPT study completed recruiting subjects in June 2017. As part of the COAPT trial, a subset of patients will be registered in the cardiopulmonary exercise (CPX) sub-study. The objective of this sub-study is to evaluate the exercise responses in a sub-cohort of COAPT subjects who receive MitraClip device (Device group) compared to the Control group who do not receive MitraClip device. (Note: the CPX Sub-study subjects will contribute to the analyses of the COAPT primary and secondary endpoints) As an extension of the COAPT RCT trial, COAPT CAS study will be conducted after COAPT enrollment is complete under the same investigational device exemption (IDE(G120024)). The objective of this study is to evaluate the MitraClip® NT System for the treatment of clinically significant functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in symptomatic heart failure subjects who are treated per standard of care and who have been determined by the site's local heart team as not appropriate for mitral valve surgery. The anticipated Study Completion Date is July 2024. COAPT CAS completed recruiting subjects in March 2019.

Detailed Description

Prospective, randomized, parallel-controlled, multicenter clinical evaluation of the MitraClip device for the treatment of clinically significant functional mitral regurgitation in symptomatic heart failure subjects who are treated per standard of care and who have been determined by the site's local heart team as not appropriate for mitral valve surgery. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the MitraClip device (Device group) or to no MitraClip device (Control group). As part of the COAPT trial, a subset of patients (at least 50 up to 100 in total) will be registered in the CPX Sub-study, which is designed as a prospective, randomized (1:1 ratio to the MitraClip or no MitraClip device), parallel-controlled, multicenter study registering approximately 50-100 subjects in up to 50 qualified US sites from the COAPT trial. Subjects registered and randomized in the CPX Sub-study will contribute to the total enrollment approximately of 610 subjects in the COAPT trial. Roll-in subjects will not participate in the CPX Sub-study. The COAPT CAS study is designed as a prospective, multicenter, single arm, continued access registry study. A maximum of 800 subjects (anticipated) will be registered from up to 75 sites in the United States. The enrollment will end once pre-market approval (PMA) of the proposed expanded indication of MitraClip System is obtained. Active follow-up of patients will be performed through 12 months with scheduled visits at 30 days and 12 months. The national Trans catheter Valve Therapy Registry (TVT Registry) will be used for data collection through 12 months. Annual follow-up data from 2 years through year 5 post-implant will be obtained by linkage to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Claims database. COAPT CAS data may be used to support the PMA application of the labeling claims for the treatment of moderate to severe or severe FMR in symptomatic heart failure subjects. This single arm registry will provide valuable new information regarding use of the MitraClip® NT System under more "real world" conditions. COAPT study completed recruiting subjects in June 2017. COAPT CAS completed recruiting subjects in March 2019. A total of 162 subjects were enrolled in the COAPT CAS Group.

Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea, or anginal pain. Class III: Patients with cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activity. Patients are comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary physical activity causes fatigue, palpitation dyspnea, or anginal pain. Class IV: Patients with cardiac disease resulting in inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of cardiac insufficiency or of the anginal syndrome may be present even at rest. If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort is increased.
  • Recurrent Hospitalizations – All Cause
    • Time Frame: 24 Months
    • Number of Recurrent Hospitalizations for any cause within 24 months.
  • Death or HF Hospitalization Within 24 Months (Finkelstein-Schoenfeld Analysis of All-Cause Death or Recurrent HF Hospitalization Through 24 Months)
    • Time Frame: 24 months
    • The win ratio is a useful method for providing an estimate of the treatment effect when composite endpoints are analyzed as the analysis accounts for clinical significance of the outcomes of interest. For example, in the composite of death and recurrent HF hospitalizations through 24 months, subjects in the Device and Control groups were formed into matched pairs, where each pair of subjects was classified into 1 of 5 outcomes scenarios: A. Death in Device group first B. Death in Control group first C. More HF hospitalizations in the Device group (or in the case of a tie, the first HF hospitalization in the Device group occurs first) D. More HF hospitalization in the Control group (or in the case of tie, the first HF hospitalization in the Control group occurs first) E. None of the above In this way, the number of “Winners” in the Device group was NW = NB + ND while the number of “Losers” in the Device group was NL = NA + NC. The “Win Ratio” was then calculated as NW/NL.

The ECL may request a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) to confirm MR etiology. Note: Functional MR requires the presence of global or regional left ventricular wall motion abnormalities, which are believed to be the primary cause of the MR. If a flail leaflet or other evidence of degenerative MR is present, the subject is not eligible even if global or regional left ventricular systolic dysfunction is present. Note: Qualifying TTE must be obtained after the subject has been stabilized on optimal therapy including Guideline Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) and at least 30 days after: 1. a greater than 100% increase or greater than 50% decrease in dose of GDMT 2. revascularization and/or implant of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy device (CRT or CRT-D) or reprogramming of an implanted CRT or CRT-D that results in increased biventricular pacing (from <92% to ≥92%) 2. In the judgment of the HF specialist investigator at the site, the subject has been adequately treated per applicable standards, including for coronary artery disease, left ventricular dysfunction, mitral regurgitation and heart failure (e.g., with cardiac resynchronization therapy, revascularization, and/or GDMT). The Eligibility Committee must also concur that the subject has been adequately treated. 3. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class II, III or ambulatory IV. 4. The Local Site Heart Team (CT surgeon and HF specialist investigators) and the Central Eligibility Committee concur that surgery will not be offered as a treatment option and that medical therapy is the intended therapy for the subject, even if the subject is randomized to the Control group. 5.

Note: BNP or NT-proBNP must be obtained after the subject has been stabilized on GDMT and at least 30 days after: 1. a greater than 100% increase or greater than 50% decrease in dose of GDMT 2. revascularization and/or implant of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy device (CRT or CRT-D) or reprogramming of an implanted CRT or CRT-D that results in increased biventricular pacing (from <92% to ≥92%). 6. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) is ≥20% and ≤50% within 90 days prior to subject registration, assessed by the site using any one of the following methods: echocardiography, contrast left ventriculography, gated blood pool scan or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Note: The method must provide a quantitative readout (not a visual assessment). 7. The primary regurgitant jet is non-commissural, and in the opinion of the MitraClip implanting investigator can be successfully be treated by the MitraClip. If a secondary jet exists, it must be considered clinically insignificant. 8. Creatine Kinase-MB (CK-MB) obtained within prior 14 days < local laboratory Upper Limit of Normal (ULN). 9.
