About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of the NeuroFlo™ catheter in treating patients with ischemic stroke whose last time symptom-free was between 8-24 hours prior to treatment. The NeuroFlo device is intended to increase blood flow to the brain and potentially reduce the damage caused by stroke.

Read the detailed description

The study is a prospective, single arm treatment feasibility trial to determine the baseline safety and feasibility of the NeuroFlo device in acute ischemic stroke patients whose last known time symptom-free is between 8-24 hours.

A maximum of 25 patients at 5 US sites and 25 patients at 10 Canadian \& European sites may be enrolled in this initial study phase. An independent data safety and monitoring board will assess the safety of the treatment on a routine basis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of all adverse events from baseline to 30 days post-treatment.

    Measured: 30 Days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Potential benefit will be assessed through collection of neurological indices at baseline, post-procedure, 24 hours, day 4 (or discharge), 30 and 90 days.

    Measured: 90 Days

  2. Cerebral perfusion changes associated with device therapy will be assessed using MRI perfusion studies acquired at baseline and ≤ 4 hours post-procedure.

    Measured: ≤ 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NeuroFlo™ Catheter in people with Cerebrovascular Accident, run by CoAxia at 10 sites in 4 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States, Canada, Germany, Switzerland. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Assessment of all adverse events from baseline to 30 days post-treatment. (time frame: 30 Days). 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 NCT00436592, 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 Feb 2009.
