Study Summary

This trial will compare the safety and effectiveness of a new mitral valve device to treat heart failure with mild regurgitation to current standard care.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with heart failure and mild to severe functional mitral regurgitation who can walk a bit but not too far, have reduced heart pumping function, and are on standard heart failure meds. Not eligible if they need certain other heart treatments or have specific valve issues or devices already in place.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The EMPOWER Trial is testing the Carillon Mitral Contour System's safety and effectiveness against standard medications for treating heart failure caused by leaky mitral valves. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the device or continue with their usual medication.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of the Carillon system may include complications related to implanting a device in the heart, such as bleeding, infection, or damage to nearby structures. Standard medications' side effects vary but often include dizziness, fatigue, and changes in blood pressure.
