Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The subject or their legally authorized representative demonstrates understanding of the nature of the study and voluntarily provides written informed consent prior to any data collection or study procedures.
  • The subject is ≥ 21 years old, must be either a male or non-pregnant female with an expected lifespan sufficient to allow for completion of all study procedures. A negative pregnancy test result (urine or blood) is required prior to implant. If an enrolled female becomes pregnant prior to study completion, participation in the study will be terminated.
  • Based on Investigator judgment, the subject is at increased risk of PE requiring vena caval interruption. Note: Subjects diagnosed with acute DVT and/or PE must have objective confirmation based on imaging evidence of at least one of those diagnoses.
  • Patients without PE or venous thromboembolic disease (VTED) who are at risk of PE may be enrolled in this trial. However, enrollment of these patients will be limited to a maximum of 40% of the total sample size.
  • Based on Investigator's judgment, the subject has patent venous anatomy suitable for femoral or jugular/subclavian access for filter placement (e.g. no excessive tortuosity).
  • The IVC is ≤ 28 mm in diameter at the intended implantation site based on radiographic imaging evidence.
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Based on Investigator's judgment, the filter can be safely placed such that the position of the filter tip is 1 cm below the lowest renal vein.
  • Retrieval of the filter is expected within 180 days post placement. At the six month follow up, if the Investigator determines that the filter continues to be clinically indicated, the filter may be left in place until the risk of PE has passed or left in permanently. All patients not having their filter retrieved at six months will continue be followed to 24 months or one month post filter retrieval, whichever comes first.
  • The subject has patent venous anatomy suitable for jugular access for retrieval of the filter based on imaging evidence within 48 hours prior to the filter placement procedure. Imaging mode will be at physician's discretion.
  • The subject is willing to comply with the protocol requirements and specified follow-up evaluations.

Who cannot join

  • The subject has a previously implanted filter in the IVC or superior vena cava (SVC).
  • The subject has a duplicated or left-sided IVC.
  • The subject has a severe spinal deformity that would impede access to the IVC for the filter placement or filter retrieval procedures.
  • The subject has a serum creatinine ≥ 2 mg/dl (and not on dialysis) within seven days of study enrollment. Patients on dialysis are allowed to participate in this trial.
  • The subject has a known uncorrectable bleeding diathesis or active coagulopathy.
  • The subject has a life expectancy of < 25 months.
Show all 9Show fewer
  • The subject has a known allergy or sensitivity to nickel or titanium.
  • The subject has a known allergy or sensitivity to iodinated contrast media, which cannot be adequately pre-medicated. NOTE: Alternative contrast agents are not permitted for the purposes of this study.
  • The subject is currently participating in an investigational drug or another device study.

What participants receive

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

  • Denali inferior vena cava filterDevice

    Also called DL900J, DL900F

    The Denali inferior vena cava filter is a mechanical filtration device consisting of two levels of filtration (upper arms, lower legs), a retrieval hook to allow for retrieval using a standard snare, cranial and caudal anchors, and penetration limiters. The Denali filter is made from a laser cut nitinol tube.

What is being measured

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

  1. Technical Success of Placement

    Technical success of filter placement is defined as the deployment of the filter such that the physician judges the location to be suitable to provide sufficient mechanical protection against Pulmonary Embolism.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Clinical Success of Placement

    Is the one-sided lower limit of the 95% confidence interval for the observed clinical success rate at least 80%? Clinical success of filter placement is defined as freedom from subsequent Pulmonary Embolism (PE), filter embolization, caval occlusion, filter and procedure related death, insertion adverse events (AEs), and technical failure of placement.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Technical Success of Retrieval

    Technical success for retrieval is defined as retrieval of the filter such that the entire filter is retrieved intact.

    Measured: 24 months

  4. Clinical Success of Retrieval

    Clinical success for retrieval is defined as successful technical retrieval of the filter without retrieval complications requiring intervention. Only the 121 successful retrievals are counted here.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Rate of Recurring Pulmonary Embolism

    Rate of recurrent Pulmonary Embolism while the filter is indwelling or one month post-retrieval.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Rate of New or Worsening Deep Vein Thrombosis

    Rate of new or worsening Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) from placement to the six month follow-up. Worsening DVT is defined as an extension of existing DVT to a new venous segment on ultrasound in patients that had DVT at the baseline visit.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Filter Fracture

    Rate of filter fracture

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Filter Migration

    Rate of filter indwell complications of: migration >2cm.

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Filter Tilt at Placement

    Rate of filter indwell complications of: tilt >15°

    Measured: Post-placement imaging

  6. Filter Tilt at Retrieval

    Rate of filter indwell complications of: tilt >15°

    Measured: Pre-retrieval imaging

  7. Filter Penetration >3mm at Placement

    Measured: Post-placement

  8. Filter Penetration >3mm at Retrieval

    Measured: Pre-retrieval

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Denali inferior vena cava filter in people with Pulmonary Embolism, run by C. R. Bard at 22 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 10 inclusion and 9 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 30 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 22 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Dec 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Technical Success of Placement (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Mar 2016.
