About this study

Official title: Prospective Mult-center Randomized Study of the Reverse Medial ReStore Device for Flow Restoration in Arteries of Patients Experiencing Acute Ischemic Stroke

The ReStore™ Thrombectomy device restores blood flow in the neurovascular by removing thrombus in patients experiencing ischemic stroke. Patients enrolled in the ReStore Trial will be randomized to treatment with the ReStore™ Thrombectomy Device (investigational treatment) or to treatment with a commercially available thrombectomy device It is expected that the investigational treatment safety profile in terms of clinically significant procedural adverse events will be comparable to the control group.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the ReStore™ Thrombectomy Device with the legally marketed MERCI Retrieval System. The study will evaluate safety and efficacy of the ReStore™ Thrombectomy Device in subjects diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke who require mechanical thrombectomy. All eligible patients will be enrolled and randomized to treatment with either the investigational therapy or the control therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • thrombectomy (ReStore or Merci)Device

    Also called Mechanical Thrombectomy

    Each arm will use either ReStore or Merci as the primary thrombectomy device

What is being measured

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

  1. The Primary efficacy endpoint is the achievement of revascularization in the targeted region post-procedure. The primary safety endpoint is the observed rate of clinically significant procedural complications occurring within 24 hours.

    Primary Efficacy: The Primary efficacy endpoint is the achievement of revascularization (TIMI grade II or III flow in the targeted region post-procedure. This region is defined as all treatable vessels have to be TIMI II or III These data will be compared to the control group.

    Primary Safety: The primary safety endpoint is the observed rate of clinically significant procedural complications occurring within 24 hours compared to the control group

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. mortality

    The mortality rate for patients whose intracranial vessels are opened by the ReStore device will be compared to those whose vessels are not.

    Measured: 30 and 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing thrombectomy (ReStore or Merci) in people with Ischemic Stroke, run by Reverse Medical Corporation at 4 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 11 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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?

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?

The Primary efficacy endpoint is the achievement of revascularization in the targeted region post-procedure. The primary safety endpoint is the observed rate of clinically significant procedural complications occurring within 24 hours. (time frame: 90 days). 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 6 Sep 2012.
