Who may be able to join

  • History of severe disabling stroke according to the modified Rankin scale > 4.
  • Severe renal failure (serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL).
  • Severe peripheral arterial occlusive disease, which might impede a safe introduction of a 9F-sheath for the use of a Mo.Ma-device.
  • Any known allergies and / or intolerances to the following: ASA, Clopidogrel, Statins, Heparin, Nitinol, contrast agents (that cannot be adequately pre-medicated).

  • Totally occluded internal carotid artery considered as the target vessel.
  • Multiple internal carotid artery stenoses or lesion longer than 4 cm (whichever occurs) that cannot be covered by one (1) stent.
  • Severe ostial stenosis of the common carotid artery.
  • The presence of ipsilateral intracranial stenosis that requires treatment.
  • Contralateral occlusion of the internal carotid arteries associated with a poor collateral flow through the circle of Willis.
  • An aortic arch anatomical complexity that may preclude the safe placement of the Mo.Ma device including particularly, the impossibility to navigate a stiff guide wire into the external carotid artery.

About this study

Official title: DESERVE: Diffusion Weighted-MRI Based Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Endovascular Clamping During Carotid Artery Stenting With the Mo.Ma Device. A Prospective, Multicenter Study.

The purpose of this study is to detect new ischemic lesions after carotid artery stenting (with the Cristallo Ideale stent), in patients with high grade carotid artery stenosis, by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI), using the endovascular proximal flow blockage (Mo.Ma device) for cerebral protection.

What participants receive

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

  • Carotid artery stentingDevice

    The MO.MA is a cerebral protection catheter based on the proximal flow blockage concept which is achieved by endovascular clamping of Common Carotid Artery (CCA) and External Carotid Artery (ECA). The MO.MA proximal flow blockage cerebral protection device is indicated to be used in patients eligible for carotid angioplasty and/or the carotid bifurcation and is aimed to prevent brain embolism during the stenting procedure.

    For the purpose of this study the Cristallo Ideale™ Carotid Stent System (Invatec S.R.L. Roncadelle, Italy) will be exclusively used. Cristallo Ideale™ consists of a carotid dedicated self-expanding stent pre-mounted on a rapid exchange delivery catheter. The stent platform is made of a Nitinol alloy and characterized by a hybrid design with closed cell in the central zone and open cell in both end zones (proximal and distal).

Study groups in NCT00798512
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1ExperimentalSingle arm Study in which 120 patients fulfilling eligibility criteria will be screened and undergo carotid stenting with the Cristallo ideale™ carotid stent after placement of the Mo.Ma device as cerebral protection system. The technique of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) will be used to identify new ischemic lesions.
Receives: Device: Carotid artery stenting

What is being measured

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

  1. The de-novo occurrence of intra-cerebral lesions per patient by comparing baseline (within 1 week prior procedure) and post-procedural DW-MRI (from 3 to 12 hours post procedure).

    Measured: 3-12 hours after index procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Device Success; Technical Success; Procedural Success; Restenosis rate at 30 days follow up; TLR at 30 days follow up; Access Site Complications; MACCE at 30 days; Incidence of TIA up to 30 days.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Carotid artery stenting in people with Carotid Artery Disease and Stroke Prevention, run by Invatec S.p.A. at 6 sites in 3 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 6 inclusion and 21 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 15 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Italy, Germany, Poland. 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 de-novo occurrence of intra-cerebral lesions per patient by comparing baseline (within 1 week prior procedure) and post-procedural DW-MRI (from 3 to 12 hours post procedure). (time frame: 3-12 hours after index 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 15 Mar 2016.
