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

The study intends to collect data from patients who have implanted with the device in 2019 or later.

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

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and implanted with the investigational device.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and implanted with the investigational device as per IFU instructions.
  2. Patients or legally authorized representatives have signed Data Release Consent or equivalent documents.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients did not conduct any follow up visit after hospital discharge.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
ASD subjects
Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and implanted with the investigational device.
Device: CeraFlex™ Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) Closure System
The CeraFlex™ ASD Occluder have two types of occluders, CeraFlex™ ASD Occluder and CeraFlex™ Multi-fenestrated (Cribriform) ASD Occluder. The CeraFlex™ ASD Occluder is percutaneous, transcatheter closure devices for the non-surgical closure of atrial septal defects.

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
Procedural success
Time Frame: 6 months post-implantation

Procedural success is defined as a composite of:

  1. Absence of stroke/TIA, device embolization, cardiac or vascular perforation or device/procedure related death, assessed at 6 months post-implantation.
  2. Successful closure of the defects, with no, trivial or small residual shunt confirmed by Doppler echocardiography at 6 months post-implantation.
6 months post-implantation

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
Time Frame
Incidence of moderate or large residual shunt
Time Frame: At procedure, 6 months and 12 months post-implantation
At procedure, 6 months and 12 months post-implantation
Incidence of device or procedure related Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: From attempted procedure to 24 months post-implantation
From attempted procedure to 24 months post-implantation
Incidence of device or procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: From attempted procedure to 24 months post-implantation
From attempted procedure to 24 months post-implantation

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
