About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-Center, Non-randomized, Single Arm, Open Label, Supplemental Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of the NovaCross™ Micro-catheter in Facilitating Crossing Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) Coronary Lesions

This study will include up to 60 eligible male and female subjects. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the NovaCross™ micro-catheter when used to facilitate crossing of Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) lesions in coronary arteries. The procedure will be conducted on consenting patients diagnosed with a CTO in a coronary vessel that requires revascularization after a previously failed attempt to cross or refractory to 10 minutes of conventional guidewire attempt. This study is an extension study of Nitiloop's Pivotal study.

What participants receive

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

  • NovaCross™ Chronic Total Occlusion micro-catheterDevice

    The NovaCross™ micro catheter is a guidewire positioning and support micro catheter for improving chronic total occlusion (CTO) crossability. The NovaCross™ gains its supportive characteristics through the use of a unique operator-controlled Nitinol scaffold and an extendable segment. Investigators will use the NovaCross Micro catheter during a standard of care catheterization of patients diagnosed with coronary total occlusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Safety Endpoint - Rate of In hospital MACE events

    defined as the composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI), or urgent revascularization (target vessel revascularization (TVR) or urgent coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG)).

    Measured: until discharge or 30 days, the sooner of the two

  2. Primary Efficacy Endpoint - Intra-procedural technical success

    defined as the ability of the NovaCross™ microcatheter to successfully facilitate placement of a guidewire beyond a native coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) in the true vessel lumen

    Measured: during the procedure

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Rate of Lesion Crossing

    The ability to cross the lesion with a guidewire in the true lumen, effectively dilate the CTO lesion, and place a coronary stent with residual lumen stenosis of less than 30% while restoring antegrade TIMI 3 flow

    Measured: during the procedure

  2. Guidewire Facilitation and rate of successful penetration to the CTO

    The ability of the NovaCross™ micro-catheter to facilitate a guidewire successfully penetrating the proximal cap of the CTO

    Measured: during the procedure

  3. Crossability

    The effectiveness of the extendable portion in intra-CTO microcatheter crossability

    Measured: during the procedure

  4. Investigator visualization and ease of use

    The ability to have full visualization of the NovaCross during the CTO procedure and assessing the usability of the device

    Measured: during the procedure

  5. Myocardial Infraction (MI) Rate

    In hospital MI rate

    Measured: up to 30 days

  6. Device Related Adverse Events

    Device-related perforation at the site of target coronary lesion and/or its proximal reference segment

    Measured: up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NovaCross™ Chronic Total Occlusion micro-catheter in people with Coronary Occlusion, run by Nitiloop Ltd. at 3 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 4 inclusion and 1 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 3 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Israel, Poland, United Kingdom. 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?

Primary Safety Endpoint - Rate of In hospital MACE events (time frame: until discharge or 30 days, the sooner of the two). 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 3 Dec 2019.
