Study summary

This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the CorVad Percutaneous Ventricular Assist System for providing circulatory support in patients with cardiogenic shock caused by cardiomyopathy. This will be assessed through a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial involving patients with cardiogenic shock. The focus will be on determining the device's ability to improve survival outcomes and reduce the risk of related adverse events in these patients.

Read the detailed description

This prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial of the CorVad Percutaneous Ventricular Assist System is designed to measure the survival rate of subjects. The survival rate is defined as follows:

    1. Recovery: Survival at 30 days post-device removal or at discharge (whichever is longer);
    1. Bridge to Other Therapy: Survival at 30 days post-heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.

The study plans to enroll 50 subjects. The target population consists of patients with cardiogenic shock caused by cardiomyopathy who provide informed consent through a form approved by the Ethics Committee (EC). Subjects who meet the enrollment criteria, as determined by the investigator, will receive the trial device in accordance with study requirements and will be followed up to assess the primary endpoint.

Inclusion criteria

    1. Age of subjects must be between 18 and 80 years old (inclusive).
    1. Presence of heart failure or cardiac dysfunction caused by cardiomyopathy.
    1. Occurrence of cardiogenic shock under adequate blood volume, which must meet one of the following conditions:

      1. Rapidly Worsening Cardiogenic Shock: Progressive hemodynamic instability requiring repeated administration of vasopressors to maintain mean arterial pressure >50 mmHg, and left ventricular systolic function is impaired ( \<35% or LVEF 35-55% with significant mitral regurgitation).
      2. Severe Cardiogenic Shock: Cardiac index (CI) \< 2.2 L/min/m² + norepinephrine dose > 0.1 µg/kg/min + dopamine or dobutamine dose > 10 µg/kg/min; systolic blood pressure \< 90 mmHg + norepinephrine dose > 0.2 µg/kg/min + dopamine or dobutamine dose > 10 µg/kg/min + LVEF \< 35% or LVEF 35-55% with significant mitral regurgitation.
    1. Two consecutive blood lactate measurements ≥ 3.0 mmol/L (with at least a 30-minute interval).
    1. The subject or their guardian must be able to understand the purpose of the trial, sign the form, demonstrate good compliance after discharge, and be willing to complete clinical follow-up.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

    1. Continuous cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) cannot restore circulation.
    1. CorVad cannot be implanted or applied (including but not limited to left ventricular mural thrombus, presence of artificial aortic valve or cardiac contraction devices, moderate to severe aortic stenosis, moderate to severe aortic regurgitation, aortic dissection, aneurysm, or severe abnormalities of the ascending aorta and/or aortic arch, blood cell fragility, or hemolytic blood disorders).
    1. Inability to use heparin for anticoagulation therapy.
    1. Shock caused by other reasons (e.g., myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, hypovolemia, septic shock, etc.).
    1. Presence of unrepaired cardiac structural damage (e.g., chordal rupture, ventricular septal perforation, free wall rupture, etc.).
    1. Severe right heart failure.
    1. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
    1. Currently participating in another clinical trial of a drug or device that has not yet reached its primary endpoint.
    1. Any other circumstances deemed inappropriate for inclusion in this study by the investigator.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Survival Rate of Subjects

    Survival is defined as: 1. Recovery: Survival at 30 days post device removal or at discharge (whichever is longer); 2. Bridge to Other Therapy: Survival at 30 days post heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.

    Time frame: Recovery: 30 days post-CorVad removal or discharge (which is longer); Bridge to Other Therapy: 30 days post-heart transplantation or LVAD implantation

Secondary outcomes

  1. In-Hospital Mortality Rate

    Time frame: 30 days post-CorVad removal or discharge (which is longer)

  2. 14-Day Mortality Rate After CorVad Removal

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Oct 2024; primary completion for May 2025, 7 months later.

Of 53 interventional studies with no phase under Shock, Cardiogenic, half reached primary completion within 39 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 55. This study's planned 7 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 17, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
