Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the clinical investigation Visceral Manifold and Unitary Device Study is to assess the use of the thoracic bifurcation and the visceral manifold or the unitary stent graft system to repair thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms in patients having appropriate anatomy. The primary intent of the study is to assess safety (i.e. freedom from major adverse events (MAE) at 30 days) and preliminary effectiveness (i.e., treatment success and technical success) of the device (i.e., the proportion of treatment group subjects that achieve and maintain treatment success at one year). Additionally, the study will assess technical success and treatment success at each follow-up interval.

Study groups in NCT02294435
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Primary Study ArmExperimentalThe TAAA Debranching Stent Graft System is comprised of two investigational devices including the Thoracic Bifurcation and the Visceral Manifold and the Unitary Manifold. The thoracic bifurcation and the visceral manifold as well as the unitary manifold work to facilitate endovascular stenting of the visceral vessels (renals, celiac, SMA) while maintaining flow to the visceral and infrarenal segments.
Receives: Device: Visceral Manifold and Thoracic Bifurcation; Device: Unitary Manifold
Expanded Selection ArmExperimentalThe expanded selection arm is for subjects not eligible for open repair or other endovascular options due to comorbidities or anatomical limitations and do not meet inclusion in the primary study arm. The Thoracic Bifurcation and the Visceral Manifold as well as the Unitary Manifold work to facilitate endovascular stenting of the visceral vessels (renals, celiac, SMA) while maintaining flow to the visceral and infrarenal segments.
Receives: Device: Visceral Manifold and Thoracic Bifurcation; Device: Unitary Manifold

What is being measured

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

  1. Freedom from major adverse events (MAEs) at 30 days

    Major adverse events include death, bowel ischemia, myocardial infarction, paraplegia, renal failure, respiratory failure, and stroke.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Treatment success and technical success at 1 year

    Treatment success is defined as a composite of technical success and freedom from the following:

    • Aneurysm enlargement
    • Aneurysm rupture
    • Aneurysm-related mortality
    • Conversion to open repair
    • Secondary intervention for migration, Type I and III endoleaks, device integrity failure , and patency-related events

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Treatment success at various timepoints

    Treatment success and the individual components of treatment success including freedom from the following:

    • Aneurysm enlargement
    • Aneurysm-related mortality
    • Aneurysm rupture
    • Conversion to open repair
    • Secondary intervention for migration, type I and III endoleaks, device integrity failure, and patency-related events.
    • Renal failure
    • All-cause mortality
    • Endoleaks
    • Device integrity failure
    • Patency-related events
    • Other device-related events

    Measured: 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Visceral Manifold and Thoracic Bifurcation and Unitary Manifold in people with Thoracoabdominal Aneurysms, run by Sanford Health 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 15 inclusion and 46 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 16 Dec 2024. 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?

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?

Freedom from major adverse events (MAEs) at 30 days (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT02294435, which also lists 2 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 16 Dec 2024.
