About this study

The Study plan is a post-market prospective, multi-center, open-label registry. The vein graft failure rates for the currently commercialized C-Port devices will be compared to an a priori rate taken from the peer-reviewed literature.

Read the detailed description

To satisfy the requirements set forth in post-market surveillance orders issued by the US FDA to Cardica, Inc., the following outcomes will be evaluated:

  1. Acute, midterm, and one-year graft failure rates for coronary revascularization using the C-Port® xA™ Distal Anastomosis System, C-Port® FlexA™ Distal Anastomosis System, and C-Port® XCHANGE™ Distal Anastomosis System when in general use in the United States compared to hand-sewn anastomoses.
  2. Technical failure rates when attempting to complete an anastomosis using the C-Port xA, FlexA, and XCHANGE Distal Anastomosis Systems.
  3. The technical success rate of hand-sewn anastomoses following technical failures of the C-Port devices and the hand-sewn graft patency rates and clinical sequelae at one year.

What is being measured

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

  1. Graft patency rates for coronary revascularization when in general use in the United States compared to hand-sewn anastomoses.

    1. Acute, midterm, and one-year graft patency rates for coronary revascularization when in general use in the United States compared to hand-sewn anastomoses.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Anastomosis (C-Port® ) in people with Heart Disease, run by Cardica, Inc at 7 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 21 inclusion and 0 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 22 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Graft patency rates for coronary revascularization when in general use in the United States compared to hand-sewn anastomoses. (time frame: 12 months). 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 22 Jul 2015.
