Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age greater than 18 and less than 90
  • Symptomatic as evidenced by transient ischemic attack or non-disabling stroke in the hemisphere supplied by the target vessel within 180 days of procedure. Must have anatomic stenosis greater than 70% by ultrasound or angiography performed in previous 30 days
  • Asymptomatic patients with a stenosis greater than 80% by ultrasound or angiography performed in previous 30 days

Who cannot join

  • Patient has evolving stroke or intracranial hemorrhage
  • Allergy to trial required medications
  • Active bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy, or will refuse blood transfusions
  • History of major ipsilateral stroke with sufficient atrophy to increase risk of procedure associated bleed

  • Previous intracranial hemorrhage or brain surgery within the past twelve months
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Patient has any condition that precludes angiography or would make a percutaneous procedure unsafe
  • Patient or family inability to understand or cooperate with study procedures
  • Recent GI or remote bleed that would interfere with anti-plate therapy

About this study

Official title: Treatment of Carotid Stenosis With Carotid Stenting and Neurologic Protection With Pre-Procedure and Follow-Up With MRI DIffusion Imaging and Neuropsychological Testing

The purpose of this study is to evaluate ischemic events and neuropsychological changes after carotid artery angioplasty and stenting with a neuroprotection device.

Read the detailed description

Stroke is the third most common cause of death in North America with approximately 750,000 new strokes reported annually, of which 150,000 are fatal. Approximately 75% of strokes occur in the distribution of the carotid arteries. Among those, a thrombotic etiology (carotid occlusive disease) is one of the most common causes. Recently published studies have shown that patients who underwent carotid stenting in combination with a cerebral protection device had better overall outcomes as related to stroke, death and MI as opposed to carotid endarterectomy. What is not known is whether protection devices which allow some particles (100 micron particle size or less) to pass through the filter or particles that embolize during placement or removal of the protection device, will have any delayed abnormal outcomes as determined by neuropsychological testing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Carotid Stent with Distal Protection Device in people with Carotid Artery Stenosis, run by Providence Health & Services at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 13 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 26 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Number of new diffusion weighted abnormalities post-procedure (time frame: 24 hours post stent placement). 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 26 Aug 2010.
