About this study

Official title: DebriS Interventional REmoval in ACS (DESIRE-ACS) Study to Assess the Safety and Performance of the ECA Bell Balloon in Subjects Undergoing Coronary Percutaneous Interventions.

DebriS Interventional REmoval in ACS (DESIRE-ACS) Study to assess the safety and performance of the ECA Bell balloon in subjects undergoing coronary percutaneous interventions.

Read the detailed description

Coronary arterial disease (CAD) is defined as obstruction of blood flow into the coronary arteries (i.e. the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle). Patients with symptoms of coronary artery disease usually suffer from stable angina pectoris (chest pain or discomfort), unstable angina pectoris, or a myocardial infarction (heart attack). The symptoms range from mild angina, to moderate or severe angina.

In some cases of CAD the blood vessel is chronically totally blocked (total occlusion), stopping blood flow through the blocked blood vessel. In these cases a minimally invasive treatment or a surgery may be needed. "Minimally invasive procedures" consist of angioplasty or stent placement. The procedure is performed under local anesthetic with the patient lying on their back.

Angioplasty is a routine, well known, non-surgical procedure that is performed by making a small incision of the skin in the groin through which a catheter (narrow tube) and a guidewire (a thin metal wire) are inserted to reach the blocked artery. After reaching the blocked artery and crossing the blockage with a guidewire, a tiny balloon is inflated inside the artery to open the blockage. During the course of this procedure small pieces of the material that is causing the blockage may break off and be carried by the blood stream to other parts of the body where they may lodge and cause damage by blocking the blood flow . The Bell Balloon Catheter is designed to help the physician capture some of this material that may have broken off.

What participants receive

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

  • Bell Balloon CatheterDevice

    An angioplasty procedure to open the blockage in blood vessels will be performed. Standard angioplasty procedure includes local analgesia of the groin area and a small cut through which the procedure will be performed. An introducer sheath (thin tube) will be inserted. The Bell Balloon dilatation will then be inserted. The Bell Balloon works in fashion similar to standard balloon with the same physical and behavioral characteristics. Upon deflation, debris from the blockage is withdrawn into the cavity formed between the deflated balloon and its outer capsule. Then balloon is retracted and retrieved through the guiding catheter, together with the captured debris and trap it between the outer surface of the balloon and the inner surface of the membrane.

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE)

    Defined as a composite of cardiac death, all myocardial infarction (Q wave and non-Q wave), and target lesion revascularization (PCI and CABG)

    Measured: Up to 30 (+/-7) days post procedure

  2. Angiographic and Device Success

    Defined as patent vessel with stenosis <50% with a final TIMI flow grade 3 (visually assessed by angiography) without side branch loss, flow-limiting dissection, or angiographic thrombus and embolic material retrieval.

    • Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade at the end of the revascularization procedure, compared to baseline.
    • ST resolution level in patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).
    • Myocardial Blush Grade (MBG) at the end of procedure, compared to baseline

    Measured: During procedure and up to 30 (+/-7) days post procedure

  3. Performance - Device success

    Defined as ability to deliver, deploy, and intact retract retrieval of the study device and retrieve embolic material

    Measured: During procedure and up to 30 (+/-7) days post procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bell Balloon Catheter in people with Coronary Disease and Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Angioslide Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

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 16 inclusion and 26 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 28 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 1 site in Israel. 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?

Contact Eran Vickus (+972 9 7904609, eranv@angioslide.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (time frame: Up to 30 (+/-7) days 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 28 Jul 2015.
