* Any patient considered to be vulnerable
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Randomized Cohort: Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) grade reduction — 6 months
Comparison of number of participants with reduction in TR between experimental and active comparator arms. TR severity will be assessed using the 5-grade scale with the addition of "none/trace" to represent the lack of TR (scale: none/trace, mild, moderate, severe, massive, torrential). Lower grades of TR are better.
- Randomized Cohort: Hierarchical composite endpoint including: Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) improvement, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class improvement, and 6-minute walk test distance improvement — 6 months
Comparison of number of wins with composite endpoint event improvement between experimental and active comparator arms
- Randomized Cohort: Rate of Major Adverse Events (MAE) — 30 days
Rate of Major Adverse Events (MAE) in experimental arm (Edwards EVOQUE System \& OMT)
- Randomized Cohort: Hierarchical composite endpoint: all-cause mortality, RVAD implantation or heart transplant, tricuspid valve intervention, heart failure hospitalizations, KCCQ improvement, NYHA functional class improvement, and 6MWD improvement — 1 year
Comparison of number of wins with composite endpoint events or improvement between experimental and active comparator arms
- Continued Access Study: Rate of Major Adverse Events (MAE) — 30 days
Rate of MAEs in the Continued Access Study arm
- Continued Access Study: Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) grade reduction to moderate, mild, or none/trace — 6 months
TR grade reduction to moderate, mild, or none/trace from baseline. TR severity will be assessed using the 5-grade scale with the addition of "none/trace" to represent the lack of TR (scale: none/trace, mild, moderate, severe, massive, torrential); Lower grades of TR are better.
- Continued Access Study: Quality of Life (QOL) as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) — 6 months
Improvement in QOL (by KCCQ overall summary score) of at least 10 points. KCCQ overall summary score is a patient-reported measure of health status, ranging from 0 to 100, where higher scores reflect better QOL.
- Continued Access Study: New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class — 6 months
NYHA functional class improvement of at least 1 class. NYHA functional classification system categorizes heart failure patients into 4 classes based on physical activity limitation and symptom severity: class I (no symptoms and no limitation in ordinary physical activity), class II (mild symptoms and slight limitation during ordinary activity), class III (marked limitation in activity due to symptoms, even during less-than-ordinary activity; comfortable only at rest, and class IV (severe limitations; experiences symptoms even while at rest).
- Continued Access Study: 6MWD — 6 months
6MWD improvement of at least 30 meters
- Continued Access Study: All-cause mortality — 1 year
Deaths from any cause
- Continued Access Study: Durable right ventricular assist device (RVAD) implantation or heart transplant — 1 year
Durable RVAD implantation or heart transplant
- Continued Access Study: Total number of patients requiring tricuspid valve surgery or percutaneous tricuspid intervention — 1 year
Total number of patients requiring tricuspid valve surgery or percutaneous tricuspid intervention.
- Continued Access Study: Annualized rate of heart failure hospitalizations — 1 year
Annualized rate of heart failure hospitalizations
- Continued Access Study: Quality of Life (QOL) as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) — 1 year
Improvement in QOL (by KCCQ overall summary score) of at least 10 points. KCCQ overall summary score is a patient-reported measure of health status, ranging from 0 to 100, where higher scores reflect better QOL.
- Continued Access Study: New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class — 1 year
NYHA functional class improvement of at least 1 class. NYHA functional classification system categorizes heart failure patients into 4 classes based on physical activity limitation and symptom severity: class I (no symptoms and no limitation in ordinary physical activity), class II (mild symptoms and slight limitation during ordinary activity), class III (marked limitation in activity due to symptoms, even during less-than-ordinary activity; comfortable only at rest, and class IV (severe limitations; experiences symptoms even while at rest).
- Continued Access Study: 6MWD — 1 year
6MWD improvement of at least 30 meters
