About this study

Official title: A European Post-Market Clinical Follow-up Study (PMCF) in Patients With Infrarenal Aortic Aneurysm Undergoing Endovascular Stenting With the E-tegra Stent Graft System

The EASY post-market clinical follow-up study is undertaken to demonstrate safety and clinical performance of the E-tegra Stent Graft System used in endovascular treatment of infrarenal aortic aneurysm.

Read the detailed description

In this study, patients will be observed who receive an E-tegra Stent Graft for the treatment of infrarenal aortic aneurysm. The E-tegra Stent Graft will be implanted at the discretion of the treating physician.

Participating physicians will provide their observations collected during routine care for patients they have decided to treat with the E-tegra stent graft. Informed consent of the patients to the use of their clinical records for study purposes will be obtained before their data will be collected in the post-market clinical follow-up study. All patients will be asked to complete questionaires focussing on the health status (HS) (SF-12) and Quality of Life (QoL) (WHOQOL-BREF).

The period of data collection will be approximately 60 months from the date of intervention for each patient. Source document verification will be performed on 100% of the patients; data from all visits will be reviewed and verified against existing source documents. Complete DICOM image files of the CT scans as well as other imaging files (e.g. CEUS, MRT) will be sent to a CoreLab for independent second evaluation. There is no CoreLab screening before inclusion. All adverse events defined prior to study start, will be adjudicated by the Clinical Evaluation Committee (CEC).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vascular Aneurysm, run by JOTEC GmbH at 1 site in Netherlands.

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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, 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 Netherlands. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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.
