About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Early Feasibility Study of the Angel® Catheter in Critically Ill Subjects at High Risk of Pulmonary Embolism

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to obtain initial insights into the safety of the Angel® Catheter in critically ill subjects with high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) disease AND who are not receiving pharmacological thromboprophylaxis.

STUDY ENDPOINTS

  1. Primary Endpoints:
  2. Initial Insights into Safety
  • Success in delivery, maintenance and removal of the Angel® Catheter.
  • Incidence and seriousness of all adverse events.
  • Incidence of device or procedure-related adverse events.
  1. Secondary Endpoints:
  • Evaluation of the separate and combined functions of the IVC filter and the central venous catheter device.
  • Evaluate investigative site's ability to comprehend the procedural steps (Per the Insertion Procedure, the Repositioning Procedure, and the Removal Procedure)
  • Evaluate operator challenges with device use (human factors).
  • Evaluate success and challenges encountered in conducting a pivotal trial in critically ill patient population - including but not limited to Informed Consent and enrollment.

ENROLLMENT AND SUBJECT SAMPLE SIZE

The study is expected to enroll up to 20 subjects in up to 4 US investigational sites with a goal for 10 evaluable subjects in whom Angel® Catheter placement has been attempted.

STUDY DURATION

The device is designed to be deployed for less than 30 days. After enrollment and Angel® Catheter placement, subjects will be followed daily through the post-removal, seven (7) day follow up or until hospital discharge, whichever occurs first.

What participants receive

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

  • Angel® CatheterDevice

    Also called Angel Catheter, 2011-0420

    The Angel® Catheter combines the functions of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter and a multi-lumen central venous catheter (CVC). 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 device is intended for short-term use (less than 30 days) and must be removed before hospital discharge.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Adverse Events Occuring for All Evaluable Subjects

    All Adverse Events (AEs) occurring throughout the study will be identified and characterized by seriousness, relationship to the investigational device and/or procedure, and whether un/anticipated.

    Measured: From the time of subject enrollment through study exit (7 days post-removal or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first), for up to 37 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Device Performance

    Measured: From the time of Angel® Catheter insertion through Angel® Catheter removal, for up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Angel® Catheter in people with Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Thrombosis, run by BiO2 Medical at 4 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?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 14 Aug 2015). 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?

Number of Adverse Events Occuring for All Evaluable Subjects (time frame: From the time of subject enrollment through study exit (7 days post-removal or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first), for up to 37 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 26 Aug 2015.
