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 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The patient has a symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis that meets one of the following criteria:
  • Symptomatic: > than or = to 50% carotid stenosis by angiography and a history of non-disabling stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) in the hemisphere supplied by the target vessel within 180 days of the procedure.
  • Asymptomatic: > than or = to 80% carotid stenosis by angiography without neurological symptoms.
  • High risk for carotid endarterectomy: anatomical and co-morbid.

Who cannot join

  • History of symptoms of stroke or TIA within 24 hours of the procedure
  • Extensive or diffuse atherosclerotic disease
  • Severe vascular tortuosity or anatomy that would preclude the safe introduction of the device

About this study

Official title: The ViVEXX Carotid Revascularization Trial (VIVA) for High Surgical Risk Patients With Extracranial Carotid Artery Stenosis Using the Bard ViVEXX Carotid Stent and Emboshield BareWire Rapid Exchange Embolic Protection System

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Bard ViVEXX Carotid Stent and Emboshield BareWire Rapid Exchange Embolic Protection System in the treatment of extracranial carotid artery stenosis in patients at high risk for carotid endarterectomy.

Read the detailed description

Patients with clinically significant stenosis within the common and/or internal carotid artery who are at high risk for carotid endarterectomy and are amenable to percutaneous treatment including embolic protection, balloon angioplasty and the carotid stent placement.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Patients Experiencing Major Adverse Events (MAE)

    A composite of major adverse events (MAE) including any death, any stroke and/or myocardial infarction occurring during the first 30 days post-procedure and ipsilateral stroke between 31 and 365 days post procedure.

    Measured: 365 days from implantation

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Target Lesion Revascularization(s) (TLR)

    Number of participants experiencing a Target lesion revascularization(s) up to 12 months after implantation

    Measured: 12 months from implantation

  2. Number of Patients Experiencing Access Site Complications

    Access site complications requiring blood transfusion (> 1 unit) or open surgical repair.

    Measured: 30 days following implantation

  3. Number of Participants Experiencing Stroke Related Neurologic Deficit

    Number of participants experiencing stroke related neurologic deficit persisting at 30 days and attributed to the index procedure.

    Measured: 30 days from implantation

  4. Number of Participants Experiencing Device Success

    Number of participants with successful delivery and deployment of device with <50% residual stenosis.

    Measured: at time of implantation

  5. Number of Participants Experiencing Lesion Success

    number of participants experiencing achievement of <50% final residual diameter stenosis in the stented segment using the VIVEXX Carotid Stent and the Emboshield Embolic Protection System.

    Measured: at time of implantation

  6. Number of Participants Experiencing Restenosis

    Number of participants experiencing Restenosis following placement of the ViVexx Carotid Stent.

    Measured: 12 months after implantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Carotid Artery Stenting in people with Carotid Artery Stenosis, run by C. R. Bard.

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 3 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 1 Mar 2017. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jul 2011). 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 Patients Experiencing Major Adverse Events (MAE) (time frame: 365 days from implantation). 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 1 Mar 2017.
