About this study

Official title: CONFORM-TAD- A Post-market Clinical Follow-up Study in Patients With Complicated Acute, Subacute or Chronic Type B Aortic Dissection With Double Lumen Treated With the E-nya Thoracic Stent Graft System

The CONFORM-TAD post-market clinical follow-up study is undertakento evaluate the prevention of death related to the treatment of a complicated acute, subacute or chronic type B aortic dissection with the E-nya Thoracic Stent Graft System. The secondary objective is to evaluate safety and clinical performance of the device.

Read the detailed description

In this study, patients who receive an E-nya Thoracic Stent Graft for the treatment of a complicated acute, subacute or chronic type B aortic dissection will be observed. The E-nya Thoracic Stent Graft will be implanted in accordance with the instructions for use of the E-nya Thoracic Stent Graft System and at the discretion of the treating physician.

Participating physicians will be asked to provide their observations collected during routine standard of care for patients he/she had decided to treat with the E-nya Thoracic Stent Graft System. Informed consent of the patients will be obtained to allow the use of their clinical records for the purpose of this observational study before data are being collected.

The period of data collection for each patient will be approximately 60 months from the intervention. Source document verification will be performed on 100% of patients; data from all visits will be reviewed and verified against existing source documents. Complete DICOM image files of the CT scans will be sent to the CoreLab for independent evaluation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vascular Diseases, run by JOTEC GmbH at 1 site in Germany.

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 20 inclusion and 16 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Mortality (time frame: 30-day). 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 25 Jul 2024.
