What participants receive

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The co-primary endpoints are migration of the OptEase™ IVC filter as determined by abdominal x-ray at 1-month post-implantation and symptomatic thrombosis at 1-month post-implantation. Migration is defined as > 2 cm movement in either cranial or caudal

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. To assess major adverse event rates related to the filter or filter procedure, up to 6-month follow-up, in aggregate and individually. Major adverse events are defined as 1) death, 2) pulmonary embolism, 3) symptomatic thrombosis, 4) caval penetration

  2. To assess the longer-term stability of the filter defined by the lack of migration as seen on abdominal x-ray at 6-month post-implantation. Migration is defined as > 2 cm movement in either cranial or caudal direction as seen on abdominal x-ray compar

  3. To assess the clinical success of the filter up to 6-month follow-up. Clinical success is defined as the absence of symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) evaluated clinically at post-implantation, 1- and 6-months post-implantation.

  4. To assess the technical success of the filter up to 6-month follow-up. Technical success is defined as the filter successfully deployed at the intended site in the IVC with the correct orientation.

  5. To assess significant tilting (> 15° off the axis of the IVC) up to 6-month follow-up.

  6. To assess filter fracture up to 6-month follow-up.

  7. Procedure-related bleeding (defined as requiring transfusion or > 3 gm decrease in hemoglobin).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing OPTEASE Vena Cava Filter in people with Pulmonary Embolism, run by Cordis US Corp..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The co-primary endpoints are migration of the OptEase™ IVC filter as determined by abdominal x-ray at 1-month post-implantation and symptomatic thrombosis at 1-month post-implantation. Migration is defined as > 2 cm movement in either cranial or caudal. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00233740, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Aug 2008.
