About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-Center, Non-randomized, Single Arm, Open Label, Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of the Biosensors Microcatheter in Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions (CTO) - BIOMICS

Biosensors, the Sponsor would like to determine if the Biosensors Microcatheter is safe and effective in treating patients with CTO by assessing a composite of in-hospital cardiac death or myocardial infarction and device success (defined as successfully facilitate placement of a guidewire beyond the occluded coronary segment), respectively.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, multi-center, open-label single-arm trial designed to enroll 100 patients undergoing attempted CTO-PCI at up to 10 centers in the United Kingdom and N. Ireland. For assessment of efficacy, the ability of the BM to successfully facilitate placement of a guidewire beyond the occluded coronary segment will be assessed. Patients will be followed up until hospital discharge or 7 days post index procedure, whichever comes first. For the assessment of safety, the incidence of in-hospital cardiac death or myocardial infarction will be assessed at hospital discharge or 7 days post index procedure, whichever comes first.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy: Percentage of patients with device success

    Device success defined as successful placement of a guidewire in the vessel across the occluded coronary segment

    Measured: Follow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.

  2. Safety: Percentage of patients with composite of in-hospital cardiac death or myocardial infarction.

    Composite of in-hospital cardiac death or myocardial infarction.

    Measured: Follow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of patients with technical success

    Technical success is defined as achievement of TIMI grade 2 antegrade flow with less than 50% residual stenosis of the target CTO lesion at procedure end

    Measured: Follow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.

  2. Percentage of patients with procedural success

    Procedural success defined as technical success plus the absence of in-hospital MACE (death, myocardial infarction or clinically-driven target vessel revascularization (cd TVR)

    Measured: Follow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.

  3. Percentage of patients with crossing success

    Crossing success defined as the BM crossing the lesion

    Measured: Follow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Microcatheter in people with Ischemic Heart Disease, run by Biosensors Europe SA at 9 sites in United Kingdom.

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 5 inclusion and 24 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United Kingdom. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Efficacy: Percentage of patients with device success (time frame: Follow-up only up to hospital discharge or 7 days maximum post procedure, whichever comes first.). 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 18 Jan 2023.
