About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Technical Success of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) Guided Vena Cava Filter (VCF) Placement Using the LUMIFI™ With Crux® VCF System (LUMIFI Clinical Study)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the LUMIFI with Crux VCF System for deployment of the Crux VCF. The study will compare the method of Crux VCF deployment using the LUMIFI with Crux VCF System (IVUS guidance) with the historical results of the Crux VCF System (fluoroscopic guidance). The study will include enrollment into a roll in phase consisting of 2 study subjects per site prior to enrollment into the primary treatment phase for primary analyses. The purpose of the roll in phase is to assure compliance with site training on the use of the investigational device and protocol workflow.

What is being measured

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

  1. Technical Success Rate

    All Subjects, Cohort A and Cohort B were included in the safety analysis. The primary endpoint of effectiveness, defined as technical success included only subjects within Cohort B. Technical success of filter placement is defined as the primary deployment of the filter such that the investigator judges the location to be suitable to provide sufficient mechanical protection against pulmonary embolism.

    Due to early stoppage of the study, enrollment of 100 subjects required to test the null hypothesis and evaluate the Primary Endpoint of Technical Success was not achieved. Therefore, a formal analysis of Technical Success was not performed.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing vena cava filter implantation (LUMIFI with Crux VCF System) in people with Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Thrombosis, run by Volcano Corporation at 2 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 7 inclusion and 18 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 11 Jun 2018). 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?

Technical Success Rate (time frame: Day 1). 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 30 Jul 2019.
