    Crux Biomedical IVC Filter

Study groups in NCT00605332
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1ExperimentalInvestigative Device (Crux Biomedical IVC Filter) will be evaluated for its ability to capture thrombus for the prevention of pulmonary embolism.
Receives: Device: inferior vena cava filter

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Efficacy Objective: To describe the clinical utility of the Crux IVCF by the following criteria: Absence of a recurrent PE and IVC thrombosis related to the Crux IVCF.

    Measured: 30 days post implant, 30 days post retrieval. Patients with indwelling filters will return 1 and 6 months post implant procedure.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Primary Safety Objective: To estimate the proportion of patients who experience device/procedure related complications associated with the Crux IVCF.

    Measured: 30 days post implant procedure and 30 days post retrieval procedure. Patients with indwelling filters will return 1 and 6 months post implant procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing inferior vena cava filter in people with Pulmonary Embolism, run by Crux Biomedical.

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 22 inclusion and 19 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 6 Aug 2012. 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 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?

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?

Primary Efficacy Objective: To describe the clinical utility of the Crux IVCF by the following criteria: Absence of a recurrent PE and IVC thrombosis related to the Crux IVCF. (time frame: 30 days post implant, 30 days post retrieval. Patients with indwelling filters will return 1 and 6 months post implant procedure.). 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 6 Aug 2012.
