What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Patency at 12 Months

    Primary patency is defined as no evidence of restenosis (repeat narrowing) or occlusion (total blockage) within the originally treated lesion based on color-coded duplex sonography (color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS). The Peak Systolic Velocity Ratio must be less than 2.5 (PSVR: the result of taking the highest rate of blood flow within the stented region and dividing it by the highest rate of blood flow just above the stented area).

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Proportion of Subjects Who Experience Major Device-related Adverse Events Within the First 30 Days

    If the functioning or characteristics of the device caused or contributed significantly to the adverse event,and if they occurred within 30 days of the procedure, they would be considered major adverse events (MAEs). Major AEs require significant therapy, including an unplanned increase in the level of care, permanent sequelae, hospitalization, or death.

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Primary Assisted Patency

    Primary assisted patency is defined as patency in the target lesion maintained by repeat intervention (one or more follow-up procedures) in an attempt to salvage the stent prior to complete occlusion (blockage) of the treated arterial segment, and also includes patients with primary patency.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Secondary Patency

    Secondary patency is defined as patency in the target lesion maintained by repeat intervention (one more more follow-up procedures) after complete occlusion (blockage) of the treated arterial segment, and also includes patients that have primary and primary assisted patency.

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Device-related Major Adverse Events at 12 Months

    If the functioning or characteristics of the device caused or contributed significantly to the adverse event (AE), the AE would be related to the device. Major AEs require significant therapy, including an unplanned increase in the level of care, permanent sequelae, hospitalization, or death.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Treatment with the GORE VIABAHN Endoprosthesis with Heparin Bioactive Surface in people with Peripheral Vascular Diseases, run by W.L.Gore & Associates at 5 sites in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Dec 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Primary Patency at 12 Months (time frame: 12 months). 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 27 Dec 2012.
