What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pipeline Embolization Device (PED)Device

    Also called Pipeline Embolization Device, PED

    1 or more PEDs placed in the parent artery of the affected aneurysm via endovascular approach.

  • Coil embolizationDevice

    Placement of bare platinum coils into the target aneurysm with balloon remodeling allowed.

Receives: Device: Pipeline Embolization Device (PED)

What is being measured

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

  1. Effectiveness: Proportion of subjects whose target aneurysm shows complete occlusion on angiogram with <=50% stenosis of the parent artery. Safety: Proportion of subjects with ipsilateral major stroke or neurologic death.

    Measured: 180 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Rate of complete target aneurysm occlusion

    Measured: 1, 3 and 5 years

  2. Incidence of ipsilateral major stroke

    Measured: 180 days

  3. Change in modified Rankin scale (MRS)

    Measured: 180 days, 1, 3 and 5 years

  4. Incidence of device-related adverse events

    Measured: 180 days, 1, 3 and 5 years

  5. Change from baseline in neurologic signs or symptoms related to the target aneurysm

    Measured: 180 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pipeline Embolization Device (PED) and Coil embolization in people with Intracranial Aneurysm, run by Chestnut Medical Technologies at 2 sites in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 22 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 7 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 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?

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?

Effectiveness: Proportion of subjects whose target aneurysm shows complete occlusion on angiogram with <=50% stenosis of the parent artery. Safety: Proportion of subjects with ipsilateral major stroke or neurologic death. (time frame: 180 days). 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 7 Aug 2015.
