About this study

Official title: Emboshield and Xact Post Approval Carotid Stent Trial Using the Emboshield® BareWire™ Rapid Exchange Embolic Protection System and Xact® Rapid Exchange Carotid Stent System

To collect clinical outcome and device performance data on the FDA 510(k)-cleared Emboshield® BareWire™ Rapid Exchange Embolic Protection System and FDA-approved Xact® Rapid Exchange Carotid Stent System when used under commercial use conditions by a broad group of physicians entering the study with differing carotid artery stenting experiences.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, observational, single arm, post-approval study enrolling the following study population:

  • Subjects with neurological symptoms and >= 50% stenosis of the common or internal carotid artery by ultrasound or angiogram (visual estimate), or
  • Subjects without neurological symptoms and >= 80% stenosis of the common or internal carotid artery by ultrasound or angiogram (visual estimate)
  • The endpoint for the 1500 subjects enrolled will be a 30-day composite of death, stroke and myocardial infarction (MI).
  • For the 500 subjects with 12 month follow-up, the endpoint will be a composite of stroke, death and MI at 30 days and ipsilateral stroke at 12 months (31-365 days).

What is being measured

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

  1. The endpoint for the 1500 subjects enrolled will be a 30-day composite of death, stroke and myocardial infarction (MI).

  2. For the 500 subjects with 12 month follow-up, the endpoint will be a composite of stroke, death and MI at 30 days and ipsilateral stroke at 12 months (31-365 days).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Carotid artery stenting with filter (interventional) in people with Carotid Artery Disease and Carotid Stenosis, run by Abbott Medical Devices.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 17 Oct 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 endpoint for the 1500 subjects enrolled will be a 30-day composite of death, stroke and myocardial infarction (MI).. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 17 Oct 2008.
