In plain English
This study is looking at the Colibri Transcatheter Aortic Heart Valve System in people aged over 75 with severe aortic stenosis (narrowing of the heart's main valve) who are at high risk for open-heart surgery. Not stated — ask the trial team for details on what the study is testing and how many people are taking part. The sponsor is Colibri Heart Valve LLC.
Who can take part
- Aged over 75 years
- Has severe narrowing of the aortic valve (the heart's main outlet valve), with high pressure across the valve or fast blood flow through it
- Has symptoms from the valve narrowing, such as breathlessness, at a level above mild (New York Heart Association class II or worse)
- A local Heart Team of doctors has decided open-heart surgery would be high risk for them
- A heart scan shows the valve opening measures between 22 mm and 27.4 mm
- A central review committee agrees the person is suitable
- Able to understand the study, sign a consent form and agree to follow-up visits
Who may not be able to
- Blood vessels in the groin or pelvis are too small or unsuitable for the tube used in the procedure
- A problem with the shape of the aorta or the valve area that would stop the new valve being fitted
- Aortic narrowing that is not caused by calcium build-up
- Being born with an unusual valve shape (for example a valve with one or two flaps instead of three)
- Already has an artificial heart valve in any position
- Severe leakage of the aortic, mitral or tricuspid valves
- The heart's main pumping chamber is very weak (pumping out less than 30% of its blood)
- Has a growth, clot or infection inside the heart seen on a scan
- Severe coronary artery disease in several vessels, or disease in an important left-side artery that is not protected
- Is in cardiogenic shock (the heart cannot pump enough blood)
- Has a conduction problem needing a pacemaker that has not been treated
- Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation with a resting heart rate over 120 beats per minute
- Has or may have an infection of the heart lining, or blood poisoning
- Very low white blood cells or platelets, a history of bleeding or clotting problems
- Heart attack in the last 30 days
- Needs emergency surgery
- Stroke or mini-stroke in the last 6 months
- Symptomatic disease of the neck arteries, or treatment of neck artery narrowing in the last 30 days
- Any active bleeding that means blood thinners cannot be used
- Severe liver failure
- Kidney failure needing dialysis, or very low kidney clearance
- Very high pressure in the lung blood vessels
- Very severe lung disease (COPD)
- Refuses blood transfusion
- Allergic to or unable to take blood thinners, or allergic to the valve materials (cobalt chromium, pig tissue, collagen, glutaraldehyde) or the scan dye
- Any medical, social or psychological problem that would stop them giving proper consent or attending follow-up
- Currently in another drug or device trial
- Expected to live less than 12 months
- Pregnant or planning pregnancy before all follow-up visits are finished
- Cannot follow the study requirements
- Is under legal protection or guardianship (France only)
What taking part involves
- • The new valve is placed through a tube inserted in a blood vessel (transfemoral, via the groin) rather than by open-heart surgery
- • The tube used is a 16 French sheath (a thin tube about 5 mm wide)
Time commitment: Not stated — ask the trial team about the number of visits, how long the study lasts and what follow-up involves.

About This Trial
The Colibri Heart Valve clinical investigation ("COL-01") is a prospective, multicenter, exploratory single arm and controlled clinical investigation compared to recent historical results. This study will be conducted in about 7 European sites. The study will evaluate the safety and performance of the Colibri Transcatheter Aortic Heart Valve System for the treatment of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis via transfemoral access in high surgical risk patients. 30 subjects suffering from symptomatic severe aortic tricuspid valve stenosis and who are at high surgical risk (logistic EuroSCORE I \> 20% or other risk factors not included in this score such as frailty, porcelain aorta, sequelae of chest radiation or logistic EuroSCORE I \< 20% but considered at high risk by local Heart Team evaluation) will be enrolled in this clinical investigation. The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the all-cause mortality at 30 days post implantation. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the safety and performance of the investigational device at 30 days, 6 and 12 months, and 2, 3, 4, 5 years post implantation.
