比较两种卵圆孔未闭封堵器在既往卒中或短暂性脑缺血发作成人患者中的应用 (SAFE-PFO)

2026年9月30日 更新者:Giuseppe Tarantini

一项随机对照试验:比较Cocoon PFO封堵器与Amplatzer PFO封堵装置在卒中或短暂性脑缺血发作史患者中经皮封堵卵圆孔未闭的安全性和有效性——一项非营利、单盲、研究者驱动的试验

This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, single-blind, investigator-driven, non-profit clinical trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of the Cocoon PFO Occluder with the Amplatzer PFO Occluder family in patients requiring percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Eligible participants are adults with a history of cryptogenic embolic stroke or neurologically confirmed transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the previous 12 months and a PFO suitable for transcatheter closure.

A total of up to 1260 subjects will be enrolled across multiple European centers. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 3:1 ratio to receive either the Cocoon PFO Occluder (experimental group) or an Amplatzer PFO closure device (control group). The procedure will be performed as soon as possible after randomization, preferably within 14 days and no later than 45 days.

The primary endpoint is a non-inferiority comparison of a composite outcome at 12 months, including recurrent ischemic stroke, TIA, or all-cause death. Secondary endpoints include PFO closure rate at 6 months, assessed by echocardiographic imaging, and other measures of safety, device performance, and clinical outcomes.

The study is conducted in a single-blind fashion: patients will not be informed of the device they receive unless they explicitly request this information. Any patient who chooses to be unblinded will continue to participate without affecting eligibility or follow-up, and the date of unblinding will be documented to allow appropriate sensitivity analyses.

This trial aims to provide robust comparative evidence on the clinical performance of the Cocoon PFO Occluder relative to the Amplatzer PFO Occluder to guide optimal device selection in patients with cryptogenic stroke or TIA associated with PFO.

Transient Ischemic Attack is defined as acute focal neurological deficit (defined as focal motor deficit, aphasia, difficulty walking, hemisensory deficit, amaurosis fugax, blindness, or focal visual deficit) presumed due to focal ischemia, lasting between 5 minutes and 24 hours, that is not associated with MR or CT findings of a new cerebral infarct]. The diagnosis of cryptogenic embolic stroke or TIA has to be confirmed by a neurologist.
  • The size of PFO must be amenable to selection of a Cocoon PFO Occluder or Amplatzer PFO closure device.
  • Patients are informed of the nature of the trial and agree to all requirements for participation in the trial, signed the informed consent form, and agreed to complete the follow-up and follow-up examination

  • Patients with non-embolic cryptogenic stroke (for example lacunar stroke) or with other identifiable causes of stroke, including but not limited to aortic arch plaques (protruding >4 mm into the lumen), large artery atherosclerotic disease, an established cardioembolic source, small-vessel occlusive disease, or arterial dissection
  • Glomerular filtration rate < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 or with any history of renal dialysis or renal transplantation
  • Severe liver function impairment (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal value)
  • Severe pulmonary disease including pulmonary hypertension (clinical diagnosis)
  • Uncontrollable hypertension or diabetes mellitus
  • Contraindications to anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs, either before or after the PFO closure procedure
  • Active or planned (within 12 months) pregnancy, or lactating female patients
  • Patients with hypercoagulable states
  • Patients diagnosed with a neurological disease that causes progressive neurological dysfunction
  • Malignant tumors or other serious diseases resulting in a life expectancy of less than 12 months

  • Psychiatric conditions that may interfere with medical compliance and compliance with follow-up
  • Patient is currently participating in another investigational drug or device study that has not reached its primary endpoint yet
  • Patient with any medical condition that would make him/her inappropriate for treatment as per the current IFU of respective devices or in the opinion of the Investigator

实验性的:Cocoon PFO Occluder - experimental

Participants undergo percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) using the Cocoon PFO Occluder device. The procedure is performed under standard clinical practice. Follow-up includes echocardiographic assessment of PFO closure and routine clinical evaluations. Participants are assigned to the two study arms using a 3:1 randomization scheme (Cocoon PFO Occluder : Amplatzer PFO Occluder).

Percutaneous PFO closure performed according to standard clinical practice. The procedure is scheduled within 45 days after randomization and includes initiation of dual antiplatelet therapy before the intervention. Closure is performed following the Instructions for Use (IFU) of the assigned device and is guided by intracardiac echocardiography or transesophageal echocardiography. After device implantation, patients undergo routine post-procedure assessment and are instructed to follow antiplatelet therapy consistent with European clinical practice guidelines. Endocarditis prophylaxis is recommended for six months. The procedural steps are identical for both study arms; the only difference is the device implanted (Cocoon PFO Occluder or Amplatzer PFO Occluder). Participants are assigned to the two study arms using a 3:1 randomization scheme (Cocoon PFO Occluder : Amplatzer PFO Occluder).
