Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 24 months
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Single lesion(s) which can be treated with a 6 mm BeGrow stent (only one stent per lesion allowed).
  • Pulmonary artery stenosis - patient must at least have one of the following diseases:
  • Haemodynamically relevant proximal or distal branch pulmonary artery stenosis with a reduction of the vessel diameter when the vessel/patient is large enough to accommodate a stent,
  • Haemodynamically relevant stenosis of the main pulmonary artery segment that results in elevation of the Right Ventricle (RV) pressure, provided that the stent definitely will not compromise a functioning pulmonary valve and will not impinge on the pulmonary artery bifurcation,
  • Any degree of stenosis in patients with single ventricle circulation
  • Critically ill postoperative cardiac patients when it has been determined that branch pulmonary artery stenosis is resulting in a definite haemodynamic compromise in a patient/vessel of any size, particularly if balloon dilatation is unsuccessful
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Signed written informed consent (by parents/legal guardians)
  • Lesion can be accessed with a guide wire or balloon catheter
  • Age ≤ 24 months and weight ≥ 2 kg
  • Adequate stent length available

Who cannot join

  • The following lesions are excluded from treatment with BeGrow stent:
  • Shunt stenosis
  • Valvular and subvalvular pulmonary stenosis
  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to the stent material (L605 cobalt-chromium).
  • Patients with clinical or biological signs of infection.
  • Patients with active endocarditis.
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Patients with known allergy to acetylsalicylic acid, other antiplatelet agents or heparin.
  • Presence of other previously implanted stents in the same lesion or in close proximity to stent (direct stent-stent contact).
  • Patients with known coagulation disorder.
  • Patients where direct stent-stent contact or overlapping cannot be avoided.
  • Patients where contact to the vessel wall over the entire stent length cannot be ensured after dilatation (especially in short and thick lesions).
  • Patients where the BeGrow stent could protrude freely into adjacent vessels after expansion/dilatation, including the pulmonary arterial bifurcation.
  • Implantation of the BeGrow stent in the pulmonary arterial bifurcation.

About this study

Official title: Prospective, Multicenter, Single-arm Study to Assess the Safety and Performance of the BeGrow Stent System in Newborns and Infants to Treat Pulmonary Artery Stenosis

Objective of the study is to assess safety and performance of the BeGrow Stent System for newborns and infants in pulmonary artery stenosis.

Read the detailed description

The Bentley InnoMed "BeGrow Stent System for Newborns and Infants" is a stent delivery system indicated for intraluminal placement in the pulmonary arteries of newborns and infants for the treatment of Pulmonary Artery Stenosis.

Being tested
BeGrow Stent System
Medical subject headings
Stenosis, Pulmonary Artery

What participants receive

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

  • BeGrow Stent SystemDevice

    All enrolled subjects will undergo primary stenting of the target lesion by placement of the BeGrow Stent System

What is being measured

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

  1. Vessel enlargement in mm

    Vessel enlargement will be measured in mm, directly before and after stent implantation by angiography

    Measured: after procedure and during follow ups up to 12 Months

  2. Incidence of serious adverse events device and procedure related

    Incidence of SAE

    Measured: 12 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BeGrow Stent System in people with Pulmonary Artery Stenosis, run by Bentley InnoMed GmbH at 3 sites in 3 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 10 inclusion and 13 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 28 Oct 2024. 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 Austria, Serbia, Switzerland. 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?

Vessel enlargement in mm (time frame: after procedure and during follow ups up to 12 Months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03287024, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Oct 2024.
