COMMENCE Trial Summary
This trial is to confirm that modifications to tissue processing, valve sterilization and packaging do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness in subjects who require replacement of their native or prosthetic aortic or mitral valve.
Who is the study for?
Adults needing aortic or mitral valve replacement due to heart valve disease can join this trial. They must consent to follow-up for 5 years and be able to attend assessments. Excluded are those with recent strokes, heart attacks, life-limiting diseases, severe heart failure, organ transplants, other trial participation, pregnancy plans during the trial period, multiple valve replacements/repairs outside of specified conditions or certain blood disorders.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The COMMENCE trial is testing Edwards Bioprostheses Models 11000A (aortic) and 11000M (mitral) in patients requiring valve replacement. It aims to ensure that changes in tissue processing and sterilization do not affect safety or effectiveness over five years post-surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, typical risks of valve replacement surgery may include bleeding, infection at the incision site, blood clots leading to stroke or lung problems; irregular heartbeat; kidney failure; heart attack; pneumonia; and rarely death.
