What is being measured

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

  1. Angiographic documentation of placement of CiTop™ distal to occlusion with no device related major complications

    Measured: during procedure, 1day, 1week and 30 days post procedure

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Successful stenting

    Measured: During procedure, Day1, Day7 and Day30 post procedure

  2. Wire crossing duration

    Measured: during procedure

  3. Fluoroscopy time

    Measured: during procedure

  4. Amount of contrast

    Measured: during procedure

  5. Maneuverability of the CiTop™ up to the occlusion

    Measured: during procedure

  6. No mechanical damage to the device during

    Measured: during procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CiTop™ ExPander™ Guidewire in people with Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion, run by Ovalum at 3 sites in 2 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 3 inclusion and 21 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in South Africa, 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 stopped early (reason given: no interest to develop the product). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Angiographic documentation of placement of CiTop™ distal to occlusion with no device related major complications (time frame: during procedure, 1day, 1week and 30 days post procedure). 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 9 Jul 2013.
