FDA Approves Anteris’s DurAVR® THV Global Pivotal Trial (the “PARADIGM Trial”)

PARADIGM: A Prospective rAndomized tRial Assessing the safety and effectiveness of the DurAVR^® bIomimetic valve designed for physioloGic flow compared to CoMmercial TAVR devices

MINNEAPOLIS and BRISBANE, Australia, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anteris announced today it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval to initiate PARADIGM, its global Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial which is designed to evaluate the DurAVR^® Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) in patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis and to support a future PMA^* submission.

“We are extremely pleased to receive FDA approval for the PARADIGM Trial, which allows us to commence patient recruitment in the United States**. This milestone, together with the recent launch of the trial and first patients treated in Denmark, represents a significant achievement and a key step forward in advancing this life-saving technology worldwide for patients living with aortic stenosis, a debilitating and progressive condition,” commented Vice Chairman and CEO, Wayne Paterson. 



The PARADIGM Trial is co-chaired by Dr. Michael J. Reardon, Allison Family Distinguished Chair of Cardiovascular Research and Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the Houston Methodist Hospital, Texas and Professor Stephan Windecker, Chairman of the Department of Cardiology at Bern University Hospital, Switzerland.

About the PARADIGM Trial

The PARADIGM Trial is a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) which will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the DurAVR^® THV compared to commercially available transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs).

This head-to-head study will enroll approximately 1000 patients across the Unites States, Europe and Canada in the ‘All Comers Randomized Cohort’ with 1:1 randomization of patients who will receive either the DurAVR^® THV or TAVR using commercially available and approved THVs. The PARADIGM Trial will assess non-inferiority on a primary composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, all stroke and cardiovascular hospitalization at one year post procedure.

The PARADIGM Trial is designed to provide the robust clinical evidence required to support an application to the FDA for Premarket Approval in the United States, with CE Mark approval anticipated to progress in parallel to the PMA.

For further information, please refer to ClinicalTrials.gov (ClinicaTrials.gov ID NCT07194265).

*A Premarket Approval (PMA) application requires a high level of clinical evidence to demonstrate reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for the intended use. Randomized controlled trials are generally considered Level 1 evidence, the highest level for determining the effectiveness of interventions in evidence-based medicine given RCTs minimize bias and allow a clear comparison between treatment groups.

**Subject to Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval

DurAVR^® THV is made using a single piece of molded ADAPT^® tissue, Anteris’ patented anti-calcification tissue technology. ADAPT^® tissue, which is FDA-cleared, has been used clinically for over 10 years and distributed for use in over 55,000 patients worldwide. The DurAVR^® THV System is comprised of the DurAVR^® valve, the ADAPT^® tissue, and the balloon-expandable ComASUR^® Delivery System.
