About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Safety and Effectiveness Performance of the Zenith® Dissection Endovascular System in the Treatment of Patients With Aortic Dissection Involving the Descending Thoracic Aorta

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness performance of the Zenith® Dissection Endovascular System in the treatment of aortic dissections involving the descending thoracic aorta.

Read the detailed description

The Zenith® Thoracic Dissection Study is a clinical trial to study the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith® Dissection Endovascular System in the treatment of dissections (length-wise tear) of the descending thoracic aorta. The Zenith® Dissection Endovascular System is comprised of the Zenith TX2® TAA Endovascular Graft and the Zenith® Dissection Endovascular Stent. Instead of making a large incision in the chest, the physician makes a small incision near each hip to insert, and guides the graft and the dissection stent into place in the aorta.

Being tested
Zenith® Dissection Endovascular System, Endovascular Repair
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Zenith® Dissection Endovascular System and Endovascular Repair in people with Aortic Dissection Involving the Descending Thoracic Aorta, run by William Cook Europe at 8 sites in 5 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 5 inclusion and 10 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.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Germany, Italy, Australia, Czechia, France. 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.

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 primary endpoint is survival at 30 days (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 NCT00526487, 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 1 Mar 2017.
