About this study

Official title: The eSVS(TM)Mesh External Saphenous Vein Support Trial

Prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled (patients as their own control) trial on an external mesh device (eSVS™, Kips Bay Medical) supporting saphenous vein grafts for coronary bypass graft surgery in patients with multi-vessel coronary heart disease.

Read the detailed description

The objective of the eSVS™ Mesh Saphenous Vein Support Trial is to prospectively evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of the eSVS™ Mesh for the treatment of Saphenous Vein Graft (SVG) Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus SVG CABG without an eSVS™ Mesh.

The eSVS™ Mesh External Saphenous Vein Support Trial is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled trial enrolling up to 120 patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease who require SVG CABG of the Right Coronary Artery and the Circumflex Artery due to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Patients will serve as their own control (patients will be randomized to either:

  1. SVG+eSVS™ Mesh at Right Coronary Artery and SVG at Circumflex Artery or
  2. SVG at Right Coronary Artery and SVG+eSVS™ Mesh at Circumflex Artery).

Clinical follow-up assessments consisting of a physical exam, laboratory testing, medication review, and adverse event monitoring for all enrolled patients will be performed at 30 days, 6 months and 12 months. In addition, the 12 month follow-up assessment will include angiography.

The investigational device being evaluated in this clinical trial is an External Saphenous Vein Support device, the eSVS™ Mesh.

The eSVS™ Mesh is an extravascular prosthesis consisting of a highly flexible, semi-compliant knitted nitinol mesh tube that is placed over the patient's saphenous vein graft (SVG) during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The eSVS™ Mesh is designed to:

  • provide radial support to the vein to prevent graft dilatation
  • reduce the vein graft diameter to more closely match target coronary artery diameter
  • provide a more uniform lumen
  • improve blood flow characteristics
  • mitigate the development of intimal hyperplasia and graft stenosis

The eSVS™ Mesh has compliance characteristics comparable to native internal thoracic arteries. Since the eSVS™ Mesh vascular prosthesis is made of nitinol, it is highly kink resistant.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Efficacy Endpoint: The primary endpoint of the trial is percent stenosis of Study Vessels, assessed by angiography at 12 months following surgery

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Primary Safety Endpoint: The occurrence of the composite of total mortality, stroke, MI (Q wave and non-Q wave), or coronary revascularization (i.e. coronary artery bypass surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention) at 30 days post surgery

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. The occurrence of the composite of total mortality, stroke, MI (Q wave and non-Q wave), or coronary revascularization (i.e. coronary artery bypass surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention) at discharge, 6 months and 12 months post surgery

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Per-patient incidence of vein graft failure/occlusion

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Per-graft incidence of vein graft failure/occlusion

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Rates of graft failure due to characterization of anastomotic site failure vs. graft failure

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing eSVS, saphenous vein supporting mesh in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by National University Hospital, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2008. 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 Singapore. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Uwe Klima, MD, PhD (00656772 ext. 2065, uwe_klima@nuh.com.sg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary Efficacy Endpoint: The primary endpoint of the trial is percent stenosis of Study Vessels, assessed by angiography at 12 months following surgery (time frame: 12 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00777777, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 22 Oct 2008.
