About this study

Interventional cardiologists are exposed to significant doses of scatter radiation during cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention. Traditional methods of reducing the radiation dose for operators in the cardiac catheterization laboratory include limiting the use of radiation, radiation protection aprons and shields, and the use of lead eye glasses. Despite these measures several parts of the operators body, including the head and neck, are poorly screened from scatter radiation. Radiation protection drapes have been developed for use in cardiac catheterization but no randomized controlled study has yet been performed with the commercially available Mavig X-ray Protective Drapes®. The aim of this study is to evaluate operator radiation protection using Mavig X-ray Protective Drapes®.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mavig X-ray Protective Drapes in people with Radiation Exposure, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 2 sites 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sabine Van Roey (003216342465 ext. +32468312267, sabine.vanroey@uzleuven.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Operator radiation dose (time frame: Immediate). 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 NCT04285944, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Mar 2020.
