Plain-language summary
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Transvenous Artificial Tricuspid Valve System, LuX-Valve Plus System, Jenscare Scientific Co., Ltd. The study population consists of high-risk patients with severe or greater tricuspid regurgitation (TR) who are ineligible for surgical intervention and have demonstrated inadequate response to optimized medical therapy (OMT).
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. A total of 111 subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to one of the following groups:
Treatment Group: Transvenous Artificial Tricuspid Valve System implantation + OMT Control Group: OMT alone
All subjects will undergo serial follow-up assessments pre-treatment, during the treatment period, and post-procedure at 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and annually through 2-5 years. A summary report will be submitted to the regulatory authority at the 6-month time point.
Subjects in the treatment group will have one extra follow-up visit at 7 days ± 3 days post-procedure or prior to discharge (whichever occurs first).

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
