About this study

Official title: A Single Treatment, Open Label, Multicenter, Safety Study of the Angel™ Catheter in Hospitalized Human Subjects With a Temporary Risk of Pulmonary Embolism

The Angel™ Catheter combines the functions of a vena cava filter and a multi-lumen central line catheter. The device is designed to be placed in the inferior vena cava via the femoral vein for the prevention of Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and for access to the central venous system. The primary endpoint is freedom from serious adverse events (SAE), defined as death, symptomatic pulmonary embolism or major bleeding .

What participants receive

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

  • Angel CatheterDevice

    The Angel Catheter will be inserted in the femoral vein following standard central line placement techniques. Once the catheter is on the Inferior Vena Cava, the filter will be deployed following the manufacturer instructions and secured to the skin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Angel Catheter in people with Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Thrombosis, run by BiO2 Medical at 2 sites in Colombia.

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 17 inclusion and 14 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 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Colombia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 May 2013). 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?

Safety (time frame: 30 days). 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 May 2013.
