Who may be able to join

  • Non-valvular paroxysmal, persistent, or permanent atrial fibrillation

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Non-randomized, Post-market Clinical Follow-up Study to Confirm Safety and Performance of the Coherex WaveCrest® Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion System in Patients With Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation

The WAVECREST PMCF Study is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter study to confirm safety and performance of the Coherex WaveCrest Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) Occlusion System in the current medical practice setting in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are at increased risk for stroke. Up to 65 subjects may be enrolled at up to 15 study sites in Europe. Patients will be followed through 45 days post-procedure.

Read the detailed description

The Coherex WaveCrest® Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion System is designed to permanently occlude the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With All-cause Mortality, Pericardial Effusion Requiring Intervention, Device Embolization (Major), Device Thrombus and Ischemic Stroke (Composite Primary Safety Endpoint)

    The primary safety outcome was the composite of death from any cause (all-cause mortality), pericardial effusion requiring intervention, device embolization (major), device thrombus and ischemic stroke up to 45 days. The analysis was based on Sponsor Assessment of Adverse Events data. Baseline was defined as the last available measurement on or before the date of the implantation procedure.

    Measured: From baseline up to 45 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Device Success

    Percentage of participants who achieved device success were reported. Device success was defined as the percentage of participants who had the device deployed and implanted in the correct position. Baseline was defined as the last available measurement on or before the date of the implantation procedure.

    Measured: From baseline up to 45 days

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Technical Success

    Percentage of participants who achieved technical success were reported. Technical success was defined as the percentage of participants who experienced successful placement and release of the occluder in the LAA with LAA closure (defined as no leak greater than [>]5 millimeters [mm] on color Doppler transesophageal echocardiogram [TEE]) and who were discharged from the cardiac catheterization laboratory without the occurrence of device-related complications. Baseline was defined as the last available measurement on or before the date of the implantation procedure.

    Measured: From baseline up to 45 days

  3. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Procedural Success

    Percentage of participants who achieved procedural success were reported. Procedural success was defined as the percentage of participants who experienced successful placement and release of the occluder in the LAA with LAA closure (defined as no leak >5 mm on color Doppler TEE) and who were discharged from the cardiac catheterization laboratory without device-related complications and without procedure-related complications other than minor device embolization (defined as device embolization that can be resolved by percutaneous technique without surgical intervention or damage to surrounding cardiovascular structures). Baseline was defined as the last available measurement on or before the date of the implantation procedure.

    Measured: From baseline up to 45 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Percutaneous LAA Closure and Anticoagulation or Clopidogrel in people with Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation, run by Coherex Medical at 1 site in Belgium.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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 23 Apr 2024. 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 Belgium. 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 23 Apr 2024). 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?

Number of Participants With All-cause Mortality, Pericardial Effusion Requiring Intervention, Device Embolization (Major), Device Thrombus and Ischemic Stroke (Composite Primary Safety Endpoint) (time frame: From baseline up to 45 days). 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 23 Apr 2024.
