Safety Study of the Angel™ Catheter in Subjects With Risk of Pulmonary Embolism

April 10, 2013 updated by: BiO2 Medical

A Single Treatment, Open Label, Multicenter, Safety Study of the Angel™ Catheter in Hospitalized Human Subjects With a Temporary Risk of Pulmonary Embolism

The Angel™ Catheter combines the functions of a vena cava filter and a multi-lumen central line catheter. The device is designed to be placed in the inferior vena cava via the femoral vein for the prevention of Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and for access to the central venous system. The primary endpoint is freedom from serious adverse events (SAE), defined as death, symptomatic pulmonary embolism or major bleeding .

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject is 18 years and older

  2. Be admitted to the hospital

    One of the following two criteria:

  3. Patients with proven deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism ( PE), at high risk for pulmonary embolism and under consideration for insertion of a retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filter with at least one of the following criteria:

    • Contraindications for anticoagulation
    • Recurrent PE despite adequate anticoagulation
    • Emergency treatment following massive pulmonary embolism

  4. Patients at high risk for developing PE who require but have a temporary or absolute contraindication for prophylaxis with anticoagulation, including:

  9. Patient has an uncontrollable coagulopathy with active bleeding.
  10. Patient with proven endocarditis or bacteremia
  11. Patient has hypersensitivity to any of the components of the Angel™ Catheter, specifically Nitinol
  12. Known acute or chronic thrombotic occlusion of both common femoral veins or iliac veins
  13. Patient with functioning pelvic renal allograft on the only side available for device insertion
  14. Patient who will undergo surgical procedure involving the femoral vein or pelvic veins through which the device must be inserted

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Angel Catheter
