About this study

Official title: Prospective Study for Aortic Arch Therapy With stENt-graft for Chimney technologY:A Prospective, Multi-center, Objective Performance Criteria Clinical Trial

A prospective, multi-centre, objective performance criteria clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Artery Stent Graft System manufactured by Lifetech Scientific (Shenzhen) Co., LTD. for the thoracic aortic dissection involving the aortic arch.

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial was conducted in a qualified clinical trial institution. Investigators will use Artery Stent Graft System manufactured by Lifetech Scientific (Shenzhen) Co., LTD. to treat patients with thoracic aortic dissection involving the aortic arch. This is a Prospective, Multi-center, Objective Performance Criteria Clinical Trial. It is expected to submit to the ethics committee of the lead unit for review in Sep 2018, and complete the implantation of 150 patients in 18 centres nationwide within 12 months, and interim follow-up was conducted before discharge, 30 days after surgery, 6 months after surgery and 12 months after surgery, long-term follow-up will be performed at 24 months postoperatively, 36 months postoperatively, 48 months postoperatively and 60 months postoperatively.

This trial will evaluate whether the device reached the primary safety endpoint and primary efficacy endpoint through two primary endpoint indicators: the incidence of major adverse events (MAE) within 30 days and the success rate of aortic dissection treatment 12 months after surgery.

This trail will evaluate whether the device reached the secondary safety endpoint and efficacy endpoint through several secondary endpoint indicators:

  1. the incidence of all-cause death at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery
  2. the incidence of thoracic aortic dissection-related death at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery
  3. the incidence of severe adverse events (SAE) at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery
  4. the incidence of the device-related adverse events (AE) at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery
  5. the Incidence of left upper limb ischemia at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery
  6. the incidence of type I or type III leakage at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months after surgery
  7. the incidence of graft migration at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months after surgery
  8. the branching vascular patency rate at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months after surgery
  9. the Incidence of Thoracic aortic dissection -related surgical conversion or re-intervention at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery According to the guidelines for clinical trials of aortic stent system, the sponsor will apply for NMPA listing registration after completing a 12-month primary endpoint assessment, and annually follow-up will be conducted until the fifth year for the long-term efficacy observation.

What participants receive

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

  • Artery Stent Graft SystemDevice

    The Artery Stent Graft System consists of Ankura pro Aorta Stent Graft System along with Longuette Aortic Branch Stent Graft System for chimney technique in the aim of revascularization of aorta branches.The Ankura pro aorta stent graft and Longuette Aortic Branch Stent Graft System are pre-assembled within delivery system. During the operation, the stent graft was delivered to the target lesion location of the vascular real cavity through a delivery system, which was accurately positioned and released to isolate the ruptured opening of aortic dissection, block the continuous flow of blood into the false cavity of the dissection, and avoid further tearing or even rupture of the dissection.

What is being measured

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

  1. The treatment success rate of aortic dissection at 12 months post-implant

    Assessment of the rate of successful disease treatment defined as immediate technical success and freedom from secondary intervention at 12 months of follow-up.

    Technique success means delivery system is successfully transported to the predetermined position, both of aorta stent graft and aortic branch stent graft successfully expanded and delivery system withdraw successfully.No type I/III endoleak at the end of operation, no conversion to open surgery. (Adjuvant Interventions during operation do not defined as technical failure.)

    Measured: 12 months after surgery

  2. Incidence of no major adverse events (MAE) occurred at 30 days post-implant

    Major Adverse events (MAE) are defined as aortic dissection related mortality, ischemic stroke, and paraplegia.

    Measured: 30 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Incidence of all-cause death

    Measured: 30 days,6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery

  2. Incidence of Aortic dissection dissection-related death

    Measured: 30 days,6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery

  3. Incidence of Serious Major Adverse Event(SAE)

    Measured: 30 days,6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery

  4. Incidence of device related adverse events(AE)

    Measured: 30 days,6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery

  5. Incidence of left upper limb ischemia

    Measured: 30 days,6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery

  6. Incidence of I/III type endoleaks

    Measured: 30 days,6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery

  7. Incidence of graft migration

    Measured: 30 days,6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery

  8. Branching vascular patency rate

    Measured: 30 days,6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery

  9. Incidence of Thoracic aortic dissection -related surgical conversion or re-intervention

    Measured: 30 days,6 months, 12 months and 2-5 years after surgery

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?

The treatment success rate of aortic dissection at 12 months post-implant (time frame: 12 months after surgery). 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 NCT03767777, which also lists 2 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?
