About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Cheatham Platinum bare metal stents are safe and effective in the treatment of native and recurrent aortic coarctation in selected children, adolescents and adults.

Read the detailed description

The goals of this study are to provide information that will support labeling of both the CP bare metal and covered stents to treat native and recurrent aortic coarctation in selected children, adolescents and adults. The investigation will have two phases: Phase One will examine the safety and efficacy of the bare metal stent, and will collect information about the covered stent when used as rescue therapy for aortic injuries occurring during bare metal stent procedures.

The aims of the Phase One study are to assess the use of the CP bare metal stent to:

  1. provide a reduction equivalent to surgery in arm-leg systolic cuff blood pressure gradient 12 months after dilation and stent implantation, in comparison to the pre-dilation gradient;
  2. accomplish gradient relief with a shorter number of days in hospital than surgery;
  3. accomplish gradient relief with a rate of occurrence of serious procedure-related adverse events occurring within 30 days of dilation that is equivalent to surgery; and
  4. accomplish gradient relief with a rate of occurrence of post-procedural paradoxical hypertension that is lower than surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Difference Between Arm and Leg Systolic Blood Pressure From Baseline to 12 Months

    Noninvasive systolic blood pressures are measured in the arms and legs at baseline and 12 month follow-up. The difference between these measurements are calculated. The difference between systolic arm and leg blood pressures decreased by 30 ± 22 mmHg (n=90)

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Participants With a Systolic Blood Pressure Greater Than the 95th Percentile for Age and Gender 12 Months Post Stent Placement

    Noninvasive Blood pressure is assessed at baseline and 12 months. The number of patients with a Systolic Blood Pressure > 95th Percentile for Age and Gender is recorded at Baseline (n=105) and compared to 12 month follow up (n=92).

    Measured: Baseline and 12 months

  2. Systolic Blood Pressure, Difference Between Upper and Lower Extremities

    Measurement of difference between upper and lower extremities by noninvasive, automated measurement of four quadrant Systolic Blood Pressure. Comparison between baseline and 12 month follow up.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stent therapy of aortic coarctation in people with Coarctation of the Aorta, run by Richard E. Ringel at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 9 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 11 Mar 2016. 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 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 25 Sep 2014). 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?

Change in Difference Between Arm and Leg Systolic Blood Pressure From Baseline to 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00552812, which also lists 3 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 11 Mar 2016.
