About this study

Official title: Post-market, Prospective Evaluation of PHOTO-oxidized Decellularized Bovine Pericardium Used as a Patch in Vascular Repair and Reconstruction Surgery

The objective of this post-market clinical follow-up study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients receiving PhotoFix as a patch within a vascular repair or reconstruction procedure.

Read the detailed description

PhotoFix is prepared from bovine pericardium, which is stabilized using a dye-mediated photo-oxidation process and sterilized using aseptic processing techniques. The primary endpoint for patients with carotid artery stenosis (CAS) undergoing carotid endarterectomies (CEA) will be rate of ipsilateral central neurologic events; the primary endpoint for all other vascular procedures will be primary patency. The secondary endpoints include all-cause reoperation rate, device-related reoperation rate, explant rate, restenosis rate, secondary patency (hemodialysis access repair (HAR) only) and survival. A goal of 100 patients will be enrolled at approximately 10 sites. The enrollment period will span a minimum of 8 months from Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and site activation. Candidates for this study are adults who require vascular repair or reconstruction surgery that necessitates the use of a patch. Patients will be consented pre-operatively and enrolled patients will be followed for approximately 6 months after PhotoFix surgery. Data will be collected at 5 time points: baseline (pre-operatively), intra-operatively, 1 month post-operatively, 3 months post-operatively, and 6 months post-operatively.

Study groups in NCT03669042
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
TreatmentExperimentalAll patients will undergo a vascular repair or reconstruction surgery, which requires the use of PhotoFix. The surgical procedures will vary by patient and by underlying etiology. Therefore, PhotoFix implant sites will also vary. In all cases, PhotoFix will be implanted per the Instructions for Use (IFU).
Receives: Device: PhotoFix

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Central Neurologic Events

    For cases of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) only: Percent of patients who experienced at least one of the central neurologic events of interest (transient ischemic attack, amaurosis fugax, stroke, carotid occlusion).

    Measured: Up to 6 months, post-op

  2. Primary Patency

    For all other procedures (non-CEAs): Loss of patency includes loss of previously palpable pulses, presentation of recurrent symptoms, a drop in ABI>0.15 in the case of lower limb artery repair, Doppler ultrasound findings of occlusion, angiography of the affected vessel or a combination of these. Loss of patency will also be considered if an intervention to restore or maintain patency is documented.

    Measured: Up to 6 months, post-op

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Overall Survival

    Percent of patients surviving

    Measured: Up to 6 months, post-op

  2. All-Cause Re-operation Rate

    Percent of patients requiring re-operations

    Measured: Up to 6 months, post-op

  3. Device-Related Re-operation Rate

    Percent of patients requiring unplanned re-operations that are documented as possibly, probably or definitely, device-related.

    Measured: Up to 6 months, post-op

  4. Explant Rate

    Percent of patients requiring device explants. Explants will include the removal of PhotoFix for any reason after implantation.

    Measured: Up to 6 months, post-op

  5. Adverse Event Rate

    Percent of patients who experienced at least one adverse event.

    Measured: Up to 6 months, post-op

  6. Restenosis Rate

    Percent of patients who develop stenosis. Stenosis is considered as the recurrence of abnormal narrowing of an artery or vein after corrective surgery. Categorization of stenosis ≥ 50% will occur if data is available.

    Measured: Up to 6 months, post-op

  7. Secondary Patency

    For all hemodialysis access repairs only: Time from implantation to the point where the access is abandoned.

    Measured: Up to 6 months, post-op

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PhotoFix in people with Vascular Diseases and Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Artivion Inc. at 9 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 5 inclusion and 15 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 8 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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 8 Oct 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?

Incidence of Central Neurologic Events (time frame: Up to 6 months, post-op). The study lists 2 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 8 Oct 2024.
