About this study

Official title: ACE: An Aneurysm Coiling Efficiency Study of the Penumbra Coil 400 System

This is a prospective, multi-center study of patients with intracranial or peripheral aneurysms who are treated by the PC 400 System. The primary objective is to gather post market data on the Penumbra Coil 400 (PC 400) System in the acute treatment of intracranial and peripheral aneurysms. Approximately 2,000 patients with intracranial or peripheral aneurysms treated by the PC 400 System at up to 100 centers will be enrolled. Data for each patient are collected up to discharge or 3 days post-procedure, whichever occurs sooner. Long term follow-up to one year will be conducted in accordance to the standard of care at each participating hospital.

What participants receive

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

  • PC 400 coils (Penumbra )Device

    The Penumbra Embolization Coil is indicated for the endovascular embolization of aneurysms. The Embolization Coil functions to selectively embolize aneurysms by packing a sufficient quantity of soft platinum coils to achieve occlusion. The Coil Implant is constructed of 92% Platinum and 8% Tungsten round wire with a diameter approximately 0.0015in ± 0.0001in. The maximum primary diameter is 0.022in and the coil implant will have a semi-spherical atraumatic distal tip.

What is being measured

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

  1. Packing Density With the Number of Coils Implanted

    The data will be captured at the end of the coiling procedure which is standard for aneurysm studies.

    Measured: At immediate post-procedure

  2. Time of Fluoroscopic Exposure

    The total time of fluoroscopic exposure will be captured from the initial recording of the road map to the final angiogram after completion of the coiling procedure.

    Measured: At immediate post-procedure

  3. Procedural Device-related Serious Adverse Events

    Procedural on-the-table serious adverse events will be captured and recorded at the end of the procedure. The duration of the procedure can be variable, depending on the time to access the target lesion and the time to complete the coiling procedure.

    Measured: At immediate post-procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Acute Occlusion of the Aneurysm Sac

    Measured using Raymond Roy classification where grading ranges from I to III and higher values represent a worse outcome.

    Measured: At immediate post-procedure

  2. Intracranial Hemorrhage

    Measured: At discharge or 3 days post-procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PC 400 coils (Penumbra ) in people with Intracranial Aneurysms and Peripheral Aneurysms, run by Penumbra Inc. at 6 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 4 inclusion and 1 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 7 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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 Jul 2020). 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?

Packing Density With the Number of Coils Implanted (time frame: At immediate post-procedure). The study lists 3 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 7 Jul 2020.
