About this study

Prospective, single-arm, multicentre, international Registry of the Surfacer System for the treatment of patients with limited or diminishing upper body venous access or pathology impeding standard access methods.The purpose of this post-market Registry is to assess the standard of care and clinical outcomes of the Surfacer System used in clinical routine according to the approved commercial indications.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter registry of the Surfacer System for patients with limited or diminishing upper body venous access or pathology impeding standard access methods. The need for long term access and lack of availability of veins has led to the development of the Surfacer System, which facilitates reliable and repeatable placement of central venous catheters and restores central venous access. Based on European legislation, this Registry is considered to be an observational study. No additional diagnostic or monitoring procedures as a result of the inclusion are applied to the patients. Available data will be collected in a protected database. Up to 30 patients will be enrolled in 5 sites in Europe. Patients requiring central venous access will be enrolled who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria and for whom the device is indicated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Absence of all acute safety and device related serious adverse event recorded on case report forms

    overall complication rate compared to safety data

    Measured: Procedure through discharge at 24 hours post procedure. Data will be presented through study completion, 1 year.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Ability to place central venous access catheter using Surfacer system

    performance evaluated by procedure time measured by time to create access

    Measured: Procedure

  2. Surfacer system advancement of the exit wire outside the vein

    Ability to advance system from femoral vein to supraclavicular exit as measured by time

    Measured: procedure

  3. Insertion of a standard central venous access catheter to deliver fluid or pharmacological agents

    introducing a standard central venous access catheter over the needle wire

    Measured: procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Venous Thrombosis and Venous Thrombosis Upper Extremity, run by Merit Medical Systems, Inc. at 4 sites in 3 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 0 inclusion and 6 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 26 Jan 2024. 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 Germany, Austria, Italy. 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?

Absence of all acute safety and device related serious adverse event recorded on case report forms (time frame: Procedure through discharge at 24 hours post procedure. Data will be presented through study completion, 1 year.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02875899, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 Jan 2024.
