The Safety and Efficacy of Embotrap in Treating Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients

November 8, 2023 updated by: Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing

The Safety and Efficacy of Mechanical Thrombectomy Using Embotrap Stent Retriever in Treating Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients

This is a prospective, multicenter, cohort study aiming to compare the safety and efficacy of Embotrap stent retriever to other stent retrievers without inner channel for acute middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). All enrolled patients will be followed up at 90 days after randomization.

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

AIS due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) remains a substantial cause of mortality and morbidity. Recent guidelines have recommended MT as the first-line therapy for AIS-LVO in the anterior circulation. Thrombectomy using a stent retriever is safe and effective in the treatment of AIS. As a new generation of stent retriever, Embotrap stent retriever has a unique design including an open outer cage for clot capture and a closed inner channel for clot stabilization. Previous studies showed Embotrap stent retriever can achieve a successful recanalization of 88% and favorable outcome of 51%. Also, the Multicenter ARISE II Study showed the first-pass effect of EmboTrap stent retriever was 40.1%, higher than other stent retrievers, such as Solitaire FR and Trevo device. But most studies were single-armed without direct comparison. Thus, this prospective cohort study is designed to compare the safety and efficacy of Embotrap stent retriever with other stent retrievers without inner channel.

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 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes
