About this study

Official title: Contour Neurovascular System - European Pre-Market Unruptured Aneurysm Study (CERUS)

Cerus Endovascular is sponsoring a prospective, multi-center trial to document the safety and performance of the Contour Neurovascular System™ ("Contour").

The purpose of the study is to document safety and performance of the Contour in treatment for patients with intracranial aneurysms (IA). The data from the study will be reported as a Pre-Market study to the Notified Body to support CE Mark approval.

Read the detailed description

Contour Neurovascular System™ European Pre-Market Unruptured Aneurysm Study (CERUS) initiated enrollment in October 2018 to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Contour Neurovascular System ("Contour") in treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IA) with the intended indication for endovascular embolization of saccular IA. This prospective, single-arm, multicenter study was conducted to document the safety and performance of the Contour in treatment for patients with an IA.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Contour Neurovascular SystemDevice

    The Contour Neurovascular System™ is an intrasaccular, self-expanding, embolization device intended for the treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Safety Endpoint: Percentage of Participants With Death of Any Non-accidental Cause or Major Disabling Stroke Within First 30 Days After Treatment or Major Disabling Stroke or Death Due to Neurological Cause From Day 31 to 6 Months After Treatment.

    The Primary Safety Endpoint is the percentage of subjects with death of any non-accidental cause or any major disabling stroke within the first 30 days after treatment or major disabling stroke or death due to neurological cause from day 31 to 6 months after treatment. Major Disabling Stroke is defined as an episode of neurological signs or symptoms that persist beyond 24 hours accompanied with evidence of ischemia/infarction on imaging that results in an increase of NIHSS from baseline by >= 4 points and/or an increase from mRS baseline by >2. An independent Clinical Events Committee adjudicated all data used for safety endpoint analyses.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Primary Performance Endpoint: Percentage of Subjects With Complete Aneurysm Occlusion at 6 Months.

    The Primary Performance Endpoint was the percentage of subjects with complete aneurysm occlusion at 6 months as adjudicated by an independent core laboratory. Occlusion was assessed using the Raymond-Roy occlusion scale (Class 1 - Complete occlusion; Class 2 - Residual neck; Class 3 - Residual aneurysm).

    Measured: 6 months

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 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Germany, Austria, Denmark. 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 24 May 2021). 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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary Safety Endpoint: Percentage of Participants With Death of Any Non-accidental Cause or Major Disabling Stroke Within First 30 Days After Treatment or Major Disabling Stroke or Death Due to Neurological Cause From Day 31 to 6 Months After Treatment. (time frame: 6 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03680742, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
