About this study

Official title: NEOS-APAC - Asian Pacific Post-market Clinical Follow-up Study in Patients With Acute or Chronic Aortic Dissection or Aortic Aneurysm Treated With E-vita OPEN NEO

The NEOS-APAC post-market clinical follow-up study is undertaken to demonstrate the safety and clinical performance of E-vita OPEN NEO in the treatment of aneurysm or dissection in the ascending aorta, aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta.

Read the detailed description

In this study, patients will be observed who receive an E-vita OPEN NEO implant for the treatment of thoracic aneurysm or acute or chronic thoracic dissection. E-vita OPEN NEO will be implanted according to the instructions for use and at the discretion of the treating physician. Participating physicians will provide their observations collected during routine care for patients treated with E-vita OPEN NEO. Written informed consent, specifically allowing the use of clinical records for this observational study, will be obtained from every patient prior to data collection. The period of data collection will be approximately 24 months from the date of intervention for each patient. Source data verification will be performed on 100% of the patients; data from all the visits that was provided in the database 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 Aortic Dissection and Aortic Aneurysm, run by JOTEC GmbH at 10 sites in 6 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 12 inclusion and 15 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 8 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in South Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia, Singapore and 1 more country. 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 8 Feb 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
