About this study

An initial feasibility and safety study evaluating the use of autologous tissue engineered vascular grafts as extra cardiac total cavopulmonary connection (EC TCPC) conduits in children with single ventricle anomalies.

Read the detailed description

This investigation is a prospective, nonrandomized phase 1 clinical trial determining the safety of the use of tissue engineered vascular grafts as conduits for EC TCPC. Primary end points of the study will include determination of graft failure rates and graft related morbidity and mortality. Graft failure will be defined as any graft narrowing/occlusion or dilation/rupture requiring surgical or endovascular intervention. Graft related morbidity and mortality will include any post-operative complication such as any thromboembolic or infectious event that requires treatment and is thought likely to be caused by the tissue engineered vascular graft as determined by the investigators and confirmed by the data safety monitoring board. All appropriate patients requiring EC TCPC who meet study inclusion/exclusion criteria will be evaluated for enrollment in the clinical trial. After obtaining informed consent from the patient's parents, patients with single ventricle cardiac anomalies will undergo EC TCPC using a tissue engineered conduit. Post-operative care and monitoring will follow an established, standardized, clinical algorithm in which the patient's clinical status including complications and measurements of graft function will be serially evaluated and recorded over a three year period using physical examination, echocardiography, and MRA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tissue Engineered Vascular Grafts in people with Single Ventricle Cardiac Anomaly, run by Christopher Breuer at 1 site 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 1 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 2 Mar 2018. 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 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

graft failure requiring intervention (time frame: 3 years). 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 2 Mar 2018.
