There may be more paths forward than you’ve been told.
Too many patients hear “there’s nothing more we can do” — and stop looking. That’s exactly the moment the HIP exists for.
Clinical trials test treatments that aren’t available anywhere else yet — often for patients who don’t qualify for anything else. Even if a second or third opinion has left you without treatment options, you can ask your care team whether a clinical trial may be relevant.
Eligibility depends on your diagnosis, history, and location — the HIP team or your cardiologist can help you figure out if you qualify.
First, what is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a carefully supervised study of a treatment that is not yet available to everyone. It is not an experiment done to you. You are looked after by a full medical team, usually more closely than in ordinary care, and you can stop taking part at any point, for any reason.
Every trial has rules about who can join, based on your diagnosis, your history, and sometimes your age or where you live. That is why some people qualify and others do not. Taking part is free of charge for the treatment being studied.
For valve conditions that do not yet have an approved option, or for people who have been turned away everywhere else, a trial is sometimes the way to reach a treatment years before it is widely available.
Why We Keep This List
We keep track of these studies so you do not have to search through medical databases on your own.

What it measures
- Change in Quality of Life (QOL) as measured by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ), The Quality of Life KCCQ questionnaire is a measure of health-related quality of life. It is a 23-item, self-administered instrument that quantifies physical function, symptoms (frequency, severity and recent change), social function, self-efficacy and knowledge, and quality of life related to Heart Failure. From 23-items, the Overall Summary Score (OSS) will be calculated. In the OSS, each of the 23 items are converted onto a 0 to 100 scale using this formula: (Raw score - Minimum Raw Score)/(Maximum Raw Score - Minimum Raw Score) \* 100. Then these are averaged across the 23 items. A score of 100 (the maximum score) would indicate maximum quality of life relating to heart failure and a score of 0 (scale minimum) would indicate the worst possible quality of life relating to heart failure, with higher scores generally indicating higher quality of life., 12 months post procedure
- Change in Quality of Life (QOL) as measured by New York Heart Association (NYHA), The New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification provides a way of classifying the extent of heart failure by classifying patients in one of four categories based on their limitations during physical activity and in degree of shortness of breath and or angina pain. Class I is the least severe and Class IV is the most severe. The classes are: Class I - No symptoms and no limitation in ordinary physical activity, e.g. shortness of breath when walking, climbing stairs etc. Class II - Mild symptoms (mild shortness of breath and/or angina) and slight limitation during ordinary activity. Class III - Marked limitation in activity due to symptoms, even during less-than-ordinary activity, e.g. walking short distances. Comfortable only at rest. Class IV - Severe limitations. Experiences symptoms even while at rest. Mostly bedbound patients., 12 months post procedure
- Composite of all-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalization, or non-elective tricuspid valve reintervention, All-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalization and non-elective tricuspid valve reintervention will be adjudicated by a Clinical Events Committee., 12 months post-procedure
- Composite of major adverse events (MAEs), Composite of major adverse events consist of the following: * Cardiovascular mortality * Stroke * Life-threatening bleeding * Major vascular complications * Major cardiac structural complications * Stage 2 or 3 acute kidney injury * Myocardial infarction or coronary ischemia * Device-related obstruction of forward flow * Device-related pulmonary embolism * Any valve-related dysfunction, migration, thrombosis, or other complication requiring surgery or repeat intervention, 30 days post-procedure

The field of transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) is rapidly emerging and data on this topic are scarce. Particularly, little is known about which patients are at greatest risk of procedural complications, such as the timing and onset of conduction disturbances necessitating permanent pacemaker implantation, and how such patients are managed. On this background, the TRIPLACE Registry - an investigator-initiated global multicenter registry - is aimed at better understanding the safety and efficacy of orthotopic TTVR.
