European Sapheon™ Closure System Observational ProspectivE (eSCOPE) Study (eSCOPE)

April 29, 2016 updated by: Medtronic Endovascular

Post Market Study - "European Observational Study of the Sapheon™ Closure System for the Definitive Treatment of Incompetent Great Saphenous Veins: A Prospective Single Arm Multicenter Clinical Observational Study"

The primary objective for this clinical study is to assess the role of the CE Marked Sapheon Closure System in closure of incompetent great saphenous veins "GSV" in a routine clinical setting.

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.

Detailed Description

This is a post market, observational study of closure of the great saphenous vein "GSV". Efficacy and safety (adverse events) will be compared to appropriate literature reports to determine if the results of the treatment of reflux disease with the Sapheon Closure System are consistent with or better than the expectations of the medical community for alternative treatments, specifically Laser Thermal Ablation and Radiofrequency Ablation. Additional comparison points may include measurements of pain and/or length of time to return to work.

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 to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥18 years and ≤ 70 years of age.
  • Symptomatic primary Great Saphenous Vein "GSV" incompetence diagnosed by clinical symptoms, with or without visible varicosities, and confirmed by duplex ultrasound imaging.
  • CEAP classification of C2, C3 or C4.
  • Ability to walk unassisted.
  • Ability to attend follow-up visits.
  • Ability to understand the requirements of the study and to provide written informed consent.
  • "GSV" on standing pre-procedure Doppler Ultrasound ≥3mm and ≤10mm (maximum diameter).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Life expectancy < 1 year.
  • Regular pain medication.
  • Anticoagulation including Heparin or Coumadin.
  • Previous Deep Vein Thrombosis "DVT".
  • Previous superficial thrombophlebitis in "GSV".
  • Previous venous treatment on target limb.
  • Known Hyper-coagulable disorder.

  • Conditions which prevent routine vein treatment like:

    • Acute disease,
    • Immobilization or inability to ambulate, and
    • Pregnancy.
  • Tortuous "GSV", which in the opinion of the Investigator will limit catheter placement. (no 2 primary access sites allowed).
  • Incompetent ipsilateral small saphenous or anterior accessory great saphenous vein.
  • Known sensitivity to the cyanoacrylate "CA" adhesive.
  • Current participation in another clinical study involving an investigational agent or treatment, or within the 30 days prior to enrollment.

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
Comparative Duplex Ultrasound
Time Frame: Immediately Post-procedure
The Primary endpoint is a change in duplex ultrasound immediately post-procedure as compared to the pre-procedure duplex ultrasound, proving great saphenous vein closure with lack of pathological reflux.
Immediately Post-procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety
Time Frame: Immediately post-op through 6 month Follow-up "FU"
The Secondary endpoint is safety, reflected by the rate of occurrence of all adverse events (procedure and non-procedure related; serious and non-serious).
Immediately post-op through 6 month Follow-up "FU"
