About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Penumbra™ Stroke System in the Revascularization of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Secondary to Intracranial Large Vessel Occlusive Disease

This clinical evaluation is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center trial.

The purpose of this clinical evaluation is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Penumbra System in the revascularization of patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial, large vessel, occlusive disease.

Purpose:

The purpose of this clinical evaluation is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Penumbra System in the revascularization of patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial, large vessel, occlusive disease. Up to 125 evaluable patients will be enrolled in the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Revascularization of the Occluded Target Vessel

    Revascularization is defined by a Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score of 2 or 3 following use of the Penumbra System.

    TIMI scores are used to describe blood flow at the treated vessel with 0 designating no flow and 3 for normal flow.

    Measured: 3-Month Post-Procedure

  2. Percentage of Participants With Device-related and Procedure-related Serious Adverse Events

    Measured: 3-Month Post-Procedure

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Either a 4-point Improvement on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at Discharge or a Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score of ≤ 2 at 30 Days After Treatment

    NIHSS is a 42 point scale to describe the neurological status of the patients:

    0=no stroke; 1-15=minor to moderate stroke; 15-20=moderate/severe stroke; 21-42=severe stroke. The mRS is a scale to determine the activities of daily living of the patient with a score of 0 designating normal activities to a score of 6 designating death.

    Measured: Discharge or 30-Days Post-Procedure

  2. Percentage of Participants With a Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score of ≤ 2 at 90 Days Post Treatment

    The mRS is a scale to determine the activities of daily living of the patient with a score of 0 designating normal activities to a score of 6 designating death.

    Measured: 90-Day

  3. Percentage of Participants With All Cause Mortality

    Measured: 90-Days Post-Treatment

  4. Percentage of Participants With Symptomatic Hemorrhage

    All treated patients were scanned by computed tomography (CT) at 24-hours post-procedure to detect the presence of intracranial hemorrhage.

    Measured: 24-Hour Post-Procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Penumbra System in people with Stroke, run by Penumbra Inc. 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 6 inclusion and 18 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 18 Sep 2019. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jan 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants With Revascularization of the Occluded Target Vessel (time frame: 3-Month Post-Procedure). 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 18 Sep 2019.
