MITRIS RESILIA Mitral Valve for Mitral Valve Disease
(MOMENTIS Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to gather real-world data on the safety and performance of the MITRIS RESILIA Mitral Valve, a device used to replace a faulty mitral valve in the heart. It focuses on individuals requiring surgery to replace their native (original) or prosthetic (artificial) mitral valve. Suitable candidates for this trial are those whose mitral valve is not functioning properly and who need replacement surgery. Participants will help researchers assess the valve's effectiveness both immediately after surgery and over the long term. As a Phase 4 trial, this study involves an FDA-approved treatment, allowing participants to contribute to understanding its benefits for more patients.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that the MITRIS RESILIA Mitral Valve, Model 11400M, is safe for mitral valve replacement?
Research has shown that the MITRIS RESILIA Mitral Valve has been used in patients for some time, with reports on its safety and effectiveness. Some information indicates that a valve was removed after four months, suggesting possible complications, though this occurrence is not common. Like any heart valve, risks exist, but specific details on negative effects are not widely available.
The valve is intended for individuals needing a new mitral valve, a crucial part of the heart. The research aims to assess the valve's safety and effectiveness over time. As it is studied in real-life situations, noting any problems or benefits experienced by patients is important.
If the MITRIS valve resembles other approved valves, it might be well-tolerated. However, without more comprehensive data, determining its exact safety is challenging. Consulting a doctor is essential to determine if this option is suitable.12345Why are researchers enthusiastic about this study treatment?
The MITRIS RESILIA Mitral Valve is unique because it uses a special tissue technology called RESILIA, which is designed to enhance durability and reduce calcification compared to traditional bioprosthetic valves. Unlike standard mitral valve replacements that may require more frequent interventions due to wear and tear, the RESILIA tissue promises a longer-lasting solution, potentially reducing the need for repeat surgeries. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it holds the potential to improve the quality of life for patients by offering a more resilient and durable valve option, ultimately leading to fewer complications and a longer lifespan for the valve.
What evidence suggests that the MITRIS RESILIA Mitral Valve is effective for mitral valve replacement?
Research shows that the MITRIS RESILIA Mitral Valve effectively replaces damaged mitral valves in the heart. In this trial, patients needing replacement of their native or prosthetic mitral valve will receive the MITRIS RESILIA Mitral Valve. The COMMENCE trial found this valve to be safe and effective. Patients who received it experienced fewer serious heart problems. The valve is durable, lasting a long time without needing replacement. After receiving the valve, patients demonstrated improved heart function, meaning their hearts worked better.678910
