Percutaneous Recanalization in Ischemic Stroke Management (PRIISM): A Feasibility Clinical Study

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Ischemic Stroke
Registration Number
NCT00810095
Lead Sponsor
MindFrame, Inc.
Brief Summary

The primary study objective is to assess the feasibility of using the MindFrame System to safely and effectively restore blood flow in a thrombotic neurovascular occlusion in patients experiencing an ischemic stroke.

Detailed Description

The objective of PRIISM is to assess the feasibility of using the MindFrame System to safely and effectively restore blood flow in a thrombotic neurovascular occlusion in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Safety will be assessed by the device-related serious event rate as it compares to other similar therapies. The events include but are not limited to symptomatic hemorrhage, vessel dissection, embolization and overall morbidity and mortality. Target vessels include the basilar, internal carotid and middle cerebral (M1 and M2 segments) arteries.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Technical Device Success by as Assessed by the Percentage of Participants Which Established at Least TIMI 2 Flow Upon Deployment of the System Across the Occlusion and Within 30 Minutes of Placing the Guide Catheter.Immediately postprocedure

TIMI Flow is a perfusion scoring system from 0-3 referring to levels of blood flow assessed during reperfusion procedures:

TIMI 0 flow (no perfusion) TIMI 1 flow (penetration without perfusion) TIMI 2 flow (partial reperfusion) TIMI 3 flow (complete perfusion) is normal flow

Procedural Success as Determined by the Overal Percentage of Patients Who Achieve TIMI Grade 2/3 Flow, With or Without the Use of Adjuvant Therapy, in All Treatable Vessels as Confirmed by the Final Post Treatment Angiogram.Immediately postprocedure

TIMI Flow is a scoring system from 0-3 referring to levels of blood flow assessed during percutaneous coronary angioplasty:

TIMI 0 flow (no perfusion) TIMI 1 flow (penetration without perfusion) TIMI 2 flow (partial reperfusion) TIMI 3 flow (complete perfusion) is normal flow

Clinical Success90 days postprocedure

Clinical Success as determined by achievment of a Modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2 at 90 days postprocedure. The modified Rankin Scale is a measure of a patient's level of functional independence with 0=normal and 6-death. Patients with a score of 0-2 are considered functionally independent.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Device-related Serious Adverse EventsTreatment to 90 days postprocedure

Evaluation of the safety of using the MindFrame System based on device-related serious adverse event(s). Device-related serious adverse events are defined as vessel perforation, intramural arterial dissection, device-related symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and significant embolization in a previously uninvolved arterial territory.
