FDA Pivotal Trial Design ReChord IDE Trial Roll-In Cohort Pivotal Cohort High-Risk Registry 60 Subjects Up to 3 subjects/ center 75 Subjects Conventional MV Repair NeoChord MV Repair 585 Subjects Up to 20 Centers 12 Sites screening > 40 subjects screened 27 subjects approved All Subject Eligibility Confirmed by Central Screening Committee
Study Administration Co-Principal Investigators: David Adams and Michael Borger Chair, Trial Executive Committee: Randolph Chitwood Chair, Central Screening Committee: Julie Swain Chair, Echo Core Laboratory: Paul Grayburn Chair, Clinical Events Committee: Scott Goldman Sponsor: NeoChord, Inc.
Trial Primary Endpoints Primary Safety Endpoint: Superiority analysis of the proportion of patients free from Major Adverse Events in the NeoChord group compared to the open mitral valve repair measured at POD 30 or on hospital discharge Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Non-inferiority analysis of the proportion of patients free from moderate or severe mitral regurgitation, mitral valve replacement, or mitral valve reintervention in the NeoChord group compared to the open mitral valve repair group at 1 year
Inclusion Criteria Inclusion Criteria Guideline indication for isolated surgical mitral valve repair for prolapse Candidate for either treatment strategy including mitral valve repair with cardiopulmonary bypass Isolated segmental prolapse of the A2 or P2 segment and anterior leaflet covers at least 65% of anterior-posterior annular distance
Exclusion Criteria Exclusion Criteria (selected) Other cardiac valve disease that requires intervention or prior mitral valve surgery Active endocarditis or endocarditis within 3 months (90 days) of the scheduled index procedure Coronary artery disease that requires intervention or treatment or has had coronary artery disease that required intervention or treatment within 3 months (90 days) of the scheduled index procedure Atrial Fibrillation that requires surgical intervention
High-Risk Registry Cohort Inclusion Criteria High operative risk or not a candidate for conventional mitral valve repair on cardiopulmonary bypass but otherwise meets pivotal trial inclusion criteria
High-Risk Registry Cohort Exclusion Criteria (selected) Hemodynamic instability defined as systolic pressure < 90mm Hg without afterload reduction or cardiogenic shock or the need for inotropic support or intra-aortic balloon pump Need for emergent surgery for any reason Life expectancy of less than 2 years (24 months)
