Official title: AXERA Access Safety and Efficacy Post Endovascular INtervention

The goal of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the AXERA Access System in subjects undergoing Common Femoral Artery (CFA) access for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and/or Peripheral Vascular Intervention (PVI) through a 5 French (F) or 6F introducer sheath.

What is being measured

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

  1. Major Adverse Events

    Absence of major access site-related complications.

    Measured: Procedure through 30 day follow-up.

  2. Device Success

    Defined as:

    • Successful placement of AXERA followed by procedural sheath
    • Achievement of hemostasis in conjunction with manual or mechanical compression

    Measured: Day 1-Day of Procedure.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time to Hemostasis (TTH)

    Elapsed time between sheath removal and first observed hemostasis.

    Measured: Immediately following procedural sheath removal.

  2. Time to Ambulation (TTA)

    Elapsed time between sheath removal to time when subject stands and walks at least 20 feet without re-bleeding.

    Measured: Evaluated at any time after 2 hours post sheath removal, until the subject successfully ambulated.

  3. Time to Discharge, eligibility (TTD/e)

    Elapsed time between sheath removal and the time when subject is medically able to be discharged.

    Measured: Evaluated following sheath removal and ambulation and physical examination of the access site demonstrating stable access site.

  4. Time to Discharge, actual (TTD/a)

    Elapsed time between sheath removal and the actual time when subject is discharged.

    Measured: Evaluated following procedural sheath removal until actual discharge.

  5. Minor Adverse Events

    Combined rate of minor vascular access-site related complications.

    Measured: Procedure through 30 day follow-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Arstasis Access System (AXERA) in people with Cardiovascular Disease., run by Arstasis, Inc. at 17 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 20 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Major Adverse Events (time frame: Procedure through 30 day follow-up.). 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?
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 Feb 2015.
