Phase II Study of the Safety and Efficacy of the Relay Thoracic Stent-Graft

December 18, 2017 updated by: Bolton Medical

Phase II Clinical Study of the Safety and Efficacy of the Relay Thoracic Stent-Graft in Patients With Thoracic Aortic Pathologies

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Relay thoracic stent-graft system to treat thoracic aortic aneurysms. Efficacy will be evaluated by the device-related adverse event rate of endovascular repair (via Relay Thoracic Stent-Graft) through 1-year. Safety will be evaluated by comparing major adverse events through 1-year in subjects treated with the Relay Thoracic Stent-Graft to those who underwent surgical repair. Long term follow-up is conducted through 5 years.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.
  • Not Applicable

Expanded Access

Expanded Access

A way for patients with serious diseases or conditions who cannot participate in a clinical trial to gain access to a medical product that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Also called compassionate use. There are different expanded access types.
Approved

Approved

  • Available: Expanded access is currently available for this investigational treatment, and patients who are not participants in the clinical study may be able to gain access to the drug, biologic, or medical device being studied.
  • No longer available: Expanded access was available for this intervention previously but is not currently available and will not be available in the future.
  • Temporarily not available: Expanded access is not currently available for this intervention but is expected to be available in the future.
  • Approved for marketing: The intervention has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use by the public.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Freedom From Major Adverse Device Effects
Time Frame: 1 year

The primary effectiveness endpoint was freedom from major device-related adverse events [endoleak (Types I, III and IV), stent migration (> 10mm as compared to the 1 month visit), lumen occlusion, aneurysm rupture, and deployment failure/conversion to surgical repair] at 1 year post-procedure.

The proportion of participants in the Effectiveness sample who were free from major device-related AEs at 1-year post-procedure was compared against a performance goal of 0.80 using a 1-sided z-test (normal approximation to the binomial) at an alpha level of 0.025. Rejection of the null hypothesis would provide evidence that this performance goal (proportion-free greater than 0.80) was met.
1 year
Primary Safety Endpoint: Distribution of Major Adverse Events
Time Frame: 1 year
The primary safety endpoint was the distribution of participants experiencing at least 1 of the major adverse events (aneurysm-related mortality, stroke, paralysis/paraplegia, myocardial infarction, procedural bleeding, respiratory failure, renal failure, and wound healing complications) within 1 year post-procedure
1 year
