About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter, Open Label, Pilot Study to Evaluate the ROX Anastomotic Coupler System in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary performance of the ROX Anastomotic Coupler System (ACS), with standard of care (as defined per GOLD) in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as compared to standard of care alone.

Read the detailed description

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a chronic disease that leads to irreversible changes in the lung structure, but also to systemic changes in the body that can influence the severity of the disease. The irreversible changes to the lungs can be seen in limitations to the pulmonary function. The purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the performance and efficacy of the ROX percutaneous Anastomotic Coupler System.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ROX Anastomotic Coupler System (ACS) in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by ROX Medical, Inc. at 9 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 21 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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 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?

Improvement in exercise capacity. (time frame: 3mo, 6mo, and 12mo). 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 NCT00992680, 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 21 Apr 2014.
