Trial summary

Flow disruption is a new endovascular approach for treatment of both ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms, which involves placement of an endosaccular device (WEB) which modifies the blood flow at the level of the neck and induces intraaneurysmal thrombosis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Mid-term Data Collection of the Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms With the WEB™ Aneurysm Embolization System: a Monocentric Post-market Observational Study

Flow disruption is a new endovascular approach for treatment of both ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms, which involves placement of an endosaccular device (WEB) which modifies the blood flow at the level of the neck and induces intraaneurysmal thrombosis. The WEB was designed to treat wide-neck bifurcation aneurysms. This observational study will collect data about the routine practice in one center of using the WEB in ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms. The primary objective is to evaluate its efficacy by assessing the anatomic outcome during follow-up.

What participants receive

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

  • WEB aneurysm embolization systemDevice

    The WEB aneurysm embolization system is a class III device and consists of an implantable embolization device attached to a delivery device. The WEB is a mesh composed of single layers of braided nitinol tubes with platinum cores. The braids are held together by proximal and distal platinum/iridium radiopaque markers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of anatomic outcome: grade of occlusion of the aneurysm assessed by MRA

    WEB Occlusion Scale:

    WOS A: complete occlusion WOS B: complete occlusion with opacification of the proximal recess WOS C: residual neck filling WOS D: residual aneurysm filling

    Measured: at 6 months follow-up

  2. Determination of anatomic outcome: grade of occlusion of the aneurysm assessed by MRA

    WEB Occlusion Scale:

    WOS A: complete occlusion WOS B: complete occlusion with opacification of the proximal recess WOS C: residual neck filling WOS D: residual aneurysm filling

    Measured: at 24 months follow-up

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Determination of procedural complications (Adverse events) during the operation

    Procedural complications: aneurysm rupture, dissection, thromboembolic events (symptomatic and non-symptomatic), device protrusion through the neck of the aneurysm inside the parent artery, detachment problem, device stuck in microcatheter, bleeding.

    Measured: During index-procedure

  2. Recording the use of additional devices during treatment to occlude the aneurysm

    Possible additional devices are stent, coils, flow diverter

    Measured: During index-procedure

  3. Determination of the occurrence of post-procedural symptomatic thromboembolic events

    Measured: up to 24 months follow-up

  4. Determination of clinical outcome: assessing disability of the patient by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    0 - No symptoms.

    1. - No significant disability. Able to carry out all usual activities, despite some symptoms.
    2. - Slight disability. Able to look after own affairs without assistance, but unable to carry out all previous activities.
    3. - Moderate disability. Requires some help, but able to walk unassisted.
    4. - Moderately severe disability. Unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance, and unable to walk unassisted.
    5. - Severe disability. Requires constant nursing care and attention, bedridden, incontinent.
    6. - Dead.

    Measured: at 6 to 8 weeks follow-up

  5. Determination of the technical success of the device defined as device deployment in the target aneurysm as intended by the investigator with complete apposition against the aneurysm wall.

    Measured: During index-procedure

  6. Determination of 30 day mortality

    Measured: up to 30 days

  7. Determination of overall mortality

    Measured: up to 24 months

  8. Recording of intracranial haemorrhage during follow-up

    Measured: up to 24 months

  9. Need for repeat treatment during follow-up

    Measured: up to 24 months

  10. Determination of clinical outcome: assessing disability of the patient by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    0 - No symptoms.

    1. - No significant disability. Able to carry out all usual activities, despite some symptoms.
    2. - Slight disability. Able to look after own affairs without assistance, but unable to carry out all previous activities.
    3. - Moderate disability. Requires some help, but able to walk unassisted.
    4. - Moderately severe disability. Unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance, and unable to walk unassisted.
    5. - Severe disability. Requires constant nursing care and attention, bedridden, incontinent.
    6. - Dead.

    Measured: at 6 months follow-up

  11. Determination of clinical outcome: assessing disability of the patient by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    0 - No symptoms.

    1. - No significant disability. Able to carry out all usual activities, despite some symptoms.
    2. - Slight disability. Able to look after own affairs without assistance, but unable to carry out all previous activities.
    3. - Moderate disability. Requires some help, but able to walk unassisted.
    4. - Moderately severe disability. Unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance, and unable to walk unassisted.
    5. - Severe disability. Requires constant nursing care and attention, bedridden, incontinent.
    6. - Dead.

    Measured: at 24 months follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ruptured and Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms, run by Medical Therapy Solutions at 1 site in Belgium.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 10 Oct 2018. 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 Belgium. 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: Sponsor decision). 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?

Determination of anatomic outcome: grade of occlusion of the aneurysm assessed by MRA (time frame: at 6 months follow-up). 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?
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 10 Oct 2018.
