Phase II Study of the Safety and Efficacy of the Relay Thoracic Stent-Graft

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
and Penetrating Atherosclerotic Ulcers
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms
Registration Number
NCT00435942
Lead Sponsor
Bolton Medical
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Relay thoracic stent-graft system to treat thoracic aortic aneurysms. Efficacy will be evaluated by the device-related adverse event rate of endovascular repair (via Relay Thoracic Stent-Graft) through 1-year. Safety will be evaluated by comparing major adverse events through 1-year in subjects treated with the Relay Thoracic Stent-Graft to those who underwent surgical repair. Long term follow-up is conducted through 5 years.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Subjects with diagnosed descending thoracic aortic aneurysms or penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers

  • Subjects who agree to comply with follow-up schedule
Exclusion Criteria
  • Subjects with non-aneurysm lesions
  • Subjects with less than 1 year life expectancy
  • Subjects who are pregnant
  • Subjects with medical conditions that would complicate the endovascular procedure or confound the results (e.g., Marfan's Syndrome, prior repair in the thoracic aorta, severe coronary artery disease, morbid obesity, etc.)
  • Subjects participating in another investigational study

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary Safety Endpoint: Distribution of Major Adverse Events1 year

The primary safety endpoint was the distribution of participants experiencing at least 1 of the major adverse events (aneurysm-related mortality, stroke, paralysis/paraplegia, myocardial infarction, procedural bleeding, respiratory failure, renal failure, and wound healing complications) within 1 year post-procedure

Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Freedom From Major Adverse Device Effects1 year

The primary effectiveness endpoint was freedom from major device-related adverse events \[endoleak (Types I, III and IV), stent migration (\> 10mm as compared to the 1 month visit), lumen occlusion, aneurysm rupture, and deployment failure/conversion to surgical repair\] at 1 year post-procedure.

The proportion of participants in the Effectiveness sample who were free from major device-related AEs at 1-year post-procedure was compared against a performance goal of 0.80 using a 1-sided z-test (normal approximation to the binomial) at an alpha level of 0.025. Rejection of the null hypothesis would provide evidence that this performance goal (proportion-free greater than 0.80) was met.
