About this study

Official title: Total Occlusion With Angioplasty After Using a Radiofrequency Guide Wire-Magnetic-Coronary

A single center Pilot Clinical Registry Study of the" Acute Procedural" Safety and Efficacy of Stereotaxis PowerAssert(TM)RF Coronary Total Occlusion System assisted Angioplasty in the Treatment of Refractory Coronary Total Occlusions

Read the detailed description

Determine the safety and efficacy of the Stereotaxis PowerAssert™ 18 RF Wire System:

Primary - of recanalizing (crossing) coronary total occlusions within a stent.

Secondary - facilitated angioplasty at hospital discharge represented by

  • Event free survival
  • Anginal status, and
  • Target vessel patency
  • minimal luminal diameter (MLD).

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary RF wire success

    Defined as reaching the true lumen of any branch distal to the total occlusion with the sole use of the RF wire with absence of major complications (Myocardial Infarction (MI), tamponade, emergency Cornary Artery Bypass graft (CABG) or death)

    Measured: Assessed and measured during interventional procedure up to discharge-average hospital stay 1-5 days- defined in protocol as the number of days between interventional treatment and hospital discharge

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Facilitated RF wire Success: Procedure Success: Clinical Success

    Facilitated RF wire success is defined as reaching the true lumen of any branch distal to the total occlusion with combined use of the RF wire and any approved mechanical guidewire with absence of major complications Procedure success defined as in-hospital device success and final residual stenosis < 30% on visual assessment, following adjunctive angioplasty, with absence of major complications Clinical success defined as device and procedure success during the concurrent hospital stay with absence of major complication

    Measured: Assessed and measured during interventional procedure up to discharge-average hospital stay 1-5 days- defined in protocol as the number of days between interventional treatment and hospital discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PowerAssert RF wire in crossing coronary in-stent chronic total occlusions in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Stereotaxis at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 3 inclusion and 16 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 20 Jul 2011. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Primary RF wire success (time frame: Assessed and measured during interventional procedure up to discharge-average hospital stay 1-5 days- defined in protocol as the number of days between interventional treatment and hospital discharge). 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 20 Jul 2011.
