Trial summary

The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the investigational device, AngioDefender, is comparable to the established procedure referred to as 'brachial artery ultrasound imaging' in their abilities to quantify flow-mediated vasodilation of the brachial artery. Read more about this study

Study groups in NCT02468336
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AngioDefenderExperimentalThe AngioDefender device uses a novel, proprietary software algorithm to analyze pulse wave amplitude data collected before and after BA occlusion by a standard upper arm sphygmomanometric blood pressure (BP) cuff. The procedure is non-invasive and employs neither ultrasound nor Doppler flow analysis.
Receives: Device: AngioDefender
Brachial Artery Ultrasound ImagingActive comparatorA non-invasive procedure for detecting endothelial dysfunction by measuring the flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery (BA) using high resolution continuous ECG-gated B-mode (2D) ultrasound imaging during reactive hyperemia, a state of transient increase in tissue blood flow that occurs following a brief period of ischemia, e.g., BA occlusion. BA diameter is measured at end-diastole, coincident with the R wave of a simultaneously recorded ECG.
Receives: Device: Ultrasound

What is being measured

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

  1. Statistical equivalence of %FMD determined by AngioDefender vs brachial artery ultrasound imaging (BAUI)

    Deming regression analysis and Bland-Altman Plots

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of types and incidences of emergent adverse device effects

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AngioDefender and Ultrasound in people with Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Everist Genomics, Inc at 5 sites in 2 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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 1 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States, Canada. 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?

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?

Statistical equivalence of %FMD determined by AngioDefender vs brachial artery ultrasound imaging (BAUI) (time frame: 1 day). 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 1 Feb 2018.
