Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The target population for this study is the subset of patients who have non-valvular paroxysmal, persistent, or permanent atrial fibrillation; LAA anatomy amenable to treatment by percutaneous techniques; and an anticoagulation indication for potential thrombus formation in the left atrium. Patients with an absolute or relative contraindication to anticoagulants will also be included.

Who may be able to join

None listed.

Who cannot join

  • Known contraindication and/or allergy to aspirin, clopidogrel, IV contrast, or nickel.
  • Extensive congenital cardiac anomalies, which can only be adequately repaired by cardiac surgery.
  • Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), as diagnosed by a neurologist, within the past 30 days. Patients with a history of stroke or TIA will not be allowed to enroll until 30 days post stroke or TIA have been completed.
  • New York Heart Association Class IV Congestive Heart Failure, defined as patients with severe physical limitations and symptoms even while at rest.
  • Myocardial infarction within the past three months.
  • Sepsis within one month prior to implantation or any systemic infection that cannot be successfully treated prior to device placement.

  • Presence of an atrial septal defect, atrial septal repair, or atrial septal closure device.
  • Female subjects who may be pregnant or are planning on becoming pregnant in the next year.
  • Cardioversion or ablation procedure planned in conjunction with or within 30 days after placement of the Coherex WaveCrest Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion System.
  • Cardiac transplant or mechanical valve.
  • Symptomatic carotid artery disease.
  • Any medical disorder or psychiatric illness that would interfere with successful completion of the study as determined by the investigator.
  • Conditions other than atrial fibrillation requiring long-term warfarin therapy.
  • Resting heart rate > 110 beats per minute (bpm).
  • A single episode of transient atrial fibrillation.
  • Thrombocytopenia (<50,000 platelets/mm3), thrombocythemia (>700,000 platelets/mm³), leucopenia (white blood cell count < 3,000 cells/mm³), or anemia (hemoglobin concentration < 10 gram per deciliter [g/dl]).
  • Currently participating in an investigational drug or another device trial that has not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interferes with the current trial endpoints. (Trials requiring extended follow-up for products that were investigational, but have since become commercially available, are not considered investigational trials.)
  • Any condition that would reduce life expectancy to less than two years from the date of the index procedure.
  • Echocardiographic criteria for exclusion:
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 30%.
  • Mitral valve stenosis < 1.5 cm2 or any stenosis consistent with rheumatic valvular disease.
  • Pericardial effusion > 5 mm pre-procedure.
  • Evidence of intracardiac thrombus visualized on TEE.
  • Presence of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) that demonstrates a large shunt and/or atrial septal aneurysm with > 10 mm excursion.
  • Cardiac tumor.

About this study

Purpose To establish the safety and efficacy of the Coherex WaveCrest Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion System for left atrial appendage (LAA) closure during treatment of non-valvular atrial fibrillation in patients who are at increased risk for embolic stroke and have an ongoing indication for oral anticoagulation.

Read the detailed description

Primary Safety Endpoint The primary safety endpoint is the incidence of major adverse events up to 45 days post-procedure. Major adverse events are defined as life-threatening incidents as determined by the Clinical Events Committee (CEC) and include events such as device embolization; cardiac injury, re-intervention, and/or device-related surgery; bleeding events such as pericardial effusion requiring drainage, cranial bleeding due to any source, gastrointestinal bleeding; or any other event related to the device or the procedure, which requires treatment.

Primary Efficacy Endpoint The primary efficacy endpoint is the incidence of LAA occlusion at 45 and/or 180 days (+ten days) post-procedure. LAA occlusion will be assessed by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) color flow Doppler and will be defined as absence of flow in the LAA or color flow Doppler jets less than 3mm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Safety Endpoint

    The primary safety endpoint is the incidence of major adverse events up to 45 days post-procedure. Major adverse events are defined as life-threatening incidents as determined by the Clinical Events Committee (CEC) and include events such as device embolization; cardiac injury, re-intervention, and/or device-related surgery; bleeding events such as pericardial effusion requiring drainage, cranial bleeding due to any source, gastrointestinal bleeding; or any other event related to the device or the procedure, which requires treatment.

    Measured: 45 Days post procedure

  2. Primary Efficacy Endpoint

    The primary efficacy endpoint is the incidence of LAA occlusion at 45 and/or 180 days (+ten days) post-procedure. LAA occlusion will be assessed by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) color flow Doppler and will be defined as absence of flow in the LAA or color flow Doppler jets less than 3mm.

    Measured: 45 and/or 180 days post procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Secondary Safety Endpoint

    The secondary safety endpoint is the incidence of serious adverse events at 180 days and one year post-procedure. Serious adverse events are defined as any events that result in death, are life-threatening, require in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, or result in permanent or significant disability/incapacity.

    Measured: 180 days and one year post-procedure

  2. Secondary Efficacy Endpoints

    1. Procedural success, defined as successful delivery, deployment, and release of the Coherex WaveCrest Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion System into the LAA, and includes successful recapture and retrieval, if necessary.
    2. The incidence of LAA occlusion as measured by echocardiographic color flow Doppler jets less than 3mm by TEE at the end of the procedure.

    Measured: intra operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-valvular Paroxysmal, Persistent, or Permanent Atrial Fibrillation and LAA Anatomy Amenable to Treatment by Percutaneous Technique, run by Coherex Medical.

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 0 inclusion and 25 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 15 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Primary Safety Endpoint (time frame: 45 Days post procedure). 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 15 Jan 2015.
