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

Who may be able to join

  • All patients presenting at least one aneurysm candidate for coiling, with large (≥10mm), wide-necked (>4mm), or recurrent lesions after coiling (but not stenting) and judged by the neurovascular team to require elective treatment provided that this single lesion, and no other aneurysm, will be treated during the endovascular session to be the object of the trial
  • The anatomy of the lesion is such that endovascular treatment is judged possible with or without stenting
  • The endovascular physician is a priori content to use either type of technique
  • The patient has not previously been randomized into the trial
  • Treatment is elective
  • Patient is 18 or older
  • Life expectancy is more than 2 years
  • Patient has given fully informed consent and has signed consent form

Who cannot join

  • Other aneurysms requiring treatment during the same session
  • Patients with associated cerebral arteriovenous malformations
  • Patients with recently ruptured aneurysms
  • When parent vessel occlusion is the primary intent of the procedure
  • Any absolute contraindication to endovascular treatment, angiography, or anesthesia such as severe allergies to contrast or medications, including ASA and Clopidogrel
  • Patients with recurring, previously stented aneurysms

About this study

Official title: Stenting in the Treatment of Large, Wide-necked or Recurring Intracranial Aneurysms

The STAT trial aims at comparing coiling versus coiling plus stenting in patients with aneurysms prone to recurrence, that is large aneurysms or recurring aneurysms after previous coiling or wide-necked aneurysms. The primary hypothesis is that the use of stenting in addition to coiling decreases the recurrence rate from 33% to 20% at 12 months as compared to coiling alone.

Being tested
endovascular coiling with any type of currently approved coil (first or second generation), endovascular stenting with or without coiling. The stent may be any of the currently approved stents for intracranial aneurysms.
Keywords
large aneurysm, wide-necked aneurysm, recurring aneurysm
Medical subject headings
Intracranial Aneurysm

What participants receive

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

  • endovascular coiling with any type of currently approved coil (first or second generation)Device

    Standard procedure for endovascular coiling.Coils may be bare Platinum coils or any so-called second generation coils such as but not restricted to Hydrocoil or Cerecyte

  • endovascular stenting with or without coiling. The stent may be any of the currently approved stents for intracranial aneurysms.Device

    Standard procedure for stenting. Addition of coils to the stent is left to the judgment of the treating physician

What is being measured

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

  1. Recurrence rate of target aneurysm

    rate of angiographic recurrence

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Rate of Procedural complications defined as number of subjects with reported peri-procedural Adverse Events

    Periprocedural Adverse Events is any type of complication or Adverse Event reported during or in the 30 days following the intervention

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Rate of mortality and morbidity defined as the number of subjects with a disabling neurological events as measured by a modified Rankin Score greater than 2 during the follow-up period

    A morbid event is defined as any Adverse Event of any severity being possibly or probably related to the disease or the treatment

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Overall morbidity and mortality given by the modified Rankin Score

    Overall morbidity and mortality is defined as a change in modified Rankin Score relative to baseline

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Incidence of in-stent stenosis defined as the number of subjects with a reduction in the luminal diameter of greater than 50%

    luminal diameter will be evaluated by an independent Core Lab

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing endovascular coiling with any type of currently approved coil (first or second generation) and endovascular stenting with or without coiling. The stent may be any of the currently approved stents for intracranial aneurysms. in people with Intracranial Aneurysm, run by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) at 5 sites in 2 countries.

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 8 inclusion and 6 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 6 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Canada, France. 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?

Recurrence rate of target aneurysm (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT01340612, 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 6 Jul 2023.
