MVEFS Trial Summary

This trial is to test the safety and effectiveness of a new valve for people who need surgery to repair or replace their right ventricular outflow tract. The trial will help determine if the new valve is safe and effective enough to be used in future patients.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for children and young adults under 22 with certain heart conditions needing surgery to fix blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. They must be able to return for follow-ups, have a legal guardian's consent, and not be involved in other drug/device trials or have severe non-cardiac diseases.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The MASA Valve Early Feasibility Study tests a new device called MASA Valve in patients requiring surgical reconstruction of the pathway from the heart's right ventricle to the lung arteries (RVOTR). It aims to assess safety and potential benefits as preliminary research before larger studies.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not listed, typical risks may include reaction to materials in the device, complications from heart surgery like bleeding or infection, and potential need for future surgeries if issues arise with valve function.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is recruitment still occurring for this research study?

"No, according to clinicaltrials.gov this medical trial is not presently accepting participants - it was last updated on the 6th of July 2022. However, 16 other trials are actively recruiting new patients at this moment in time."

Answered by AI

Is there an opportunity to participate in this experiment?

"This research is searching for 10 people with truncus arteriosus aged 0-22 that meet specific criteria. These include geographical stability, an informed consent from the legal guardian at their enrolment centre, age under 22 years old, a right ventricular to pulmonary artery mean gradient over 35mm Hg, moderate or severe pulmonary regurgitation (≥3+), and agreement between patient/guardian and physician to return for all necessary follow up visits in compliance with the clinical investigation plan's requirements."

Answered by AI

Are participants below the age of 35 admissible for this trial?

"To be eligible for this medical study, applicants must fall between the ages of 0 and 22. 14 trials are accessible to minors while 11 have been designed specifically with elderly patients in mind."
