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 multicenter, multi-country prospective, single-arm, non-randomized clinical trial. The comparative control arm is a combination of patient data drawn from the abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) open surgical control arms of four commercially approved AAA devices as part of the Society of Vascular Surgeons. Patients enrolled in this study will be pre-screened and have a diagnosis of an infrarenal AAA with or without the need for treatment of iliac artery aneurysm, are candidates for endovascular repair, and meet the eligibility criteria. Patients enrolled in the study will participate in follow-up visits 31 days, 6 months and at 1 year following the index procedure. At the follow-up visits there will be a clinical assessment, blood collection, and abdominal CT imaging of the patient.

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

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
Safety- Number of Major Adverse Events
Time Frame: 30 day
The primary safety endpoint is defined as the incidence of Major Adverse Events (MAE) through 30 days after the index procedure.
30 day
Device Performance
Time Frame: 30 days
The primary performance endpoint is technical success defined as successful delivery and deployment of the device and freedom from open surgical conversion at 30 days.
30 days

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
All Cause Mortality
Time Frame: 12 months
Any death occurring during the study period, regardless of cause
