About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Efficacy of the EPIC™ Self-Expanding Nitinol Vascular Stent With Delivery System -The SUMMIT Registry

The intent of this clinical registry is to demonstrate the efficacy of the EPIC™ stent in patients with superficial femoral/ popliteal artery disease.

100 patients with symptomatic femoropopliteal artery lesion will be enrolled in the study and shall undergo 4 visits during the trial -a pre-procedure visit, procedure visit at which time the stent will be placed, and follow-up visits at 6 and 12 months.

Study hypothesis: The EPIC™ Self-Expanding Nitinol Vascular Stent with Delivery System will be efficacious in patients with Superficial Femoro/Popliteal Artery disease.

Read the detailed description

The SUMMIT Registry addresses the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

PAD represents a major challenge to physicians in treating the Superficial Femoral (SFA) and Popliteal arteries. These vessels are exposed to enormous mechanical stress what represents a harsh environment for any endovascular device. During flexing of the knee, the SFA/Popliteal arteries can bend, rotate, elongate and compress dramatically. An ideal stent designed for use in the SFA/Popliteal arteries would offer great ranges of movement while adequately supporting the arteries.

Subject of study is the EPIC™ Femoropopliteal Self-Expanding Stent System which provides a great range of motions for a highly flexible femoral artery while adequately supporting the vessel.

Primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of the device in treating lesions of the SFA/Popliteal artery.

The project is a multi-centre open label study. Primary efficacy parameter will be assessed by measuring the in-stent binary stenosis using duplex ultrasound at 6 and 12 months after the stent placement. Binary restenosis is defined as a peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) ≥2.5:1.

Anticipated study duration is 18 months: 6 months recruiting and 12 months follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. efficacy of the EPIC™ Stent as measured by the in-stent binary restenosis using duplex ultrasound (DUS)

    Binary restenosis is defined as a peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) ≥2.5:1.

    Measured: at 6 months after procedure

  2. efficacy of the EPIC™ Stent as measured by the in-stent binary restenosis using duplex ultrasound (DUS)

    Binary restenosis is defined as a peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) ≥2.5:1.

    Measured: at 12 months after procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Technical Success

    defined as the ability to implant the stent with a residual angiographic stenosis no greater than 30%.

    Measured: after stent placement intra-procedural via angiographic images (day 1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EPIC™ Self-Expanding Nitinol Vascular Stent in people with Peripheral Arterial Diseases and Superficial Femoral Artery Stenosis, run by Provascular GmbH at 4 sites in Germany.

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 9 inclusion and 10 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 24 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 4 sites in Germany. 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?

efficacy of the EPIC™ Stent as measured by the in-stent binary restenosis using duplex ultrasound (DUS) (time frame: at 6 months after procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01336101, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Apr 2014.
