Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04555161
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This clinical investigation is a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, multi-center early feasibility study of the Aria CV Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) System implanted in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The purpose of this study is to validate that the clinical use of the Aria CV PH System is safe for the patient and to evaluate its performance in treating patients with PH and right heart dysfunction. The study will be conducted in a maximum of 20 centers in the United States and up to 30 patients will receive implants. Patients will be evaluated at each of the following time intervals: pre-operative, implant procedure, 7-day (or discharge if earlier), and 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, 9-, 12-, 15-, 18-, 21-, and 24-months post index procedure. The Aria CV PH System will be assessed at each follow-up visit. The duration of the study is anticipated to last about 2 years for each patient.
