Study summary

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the PHIL® liquid in endovascular treatment of dural arteriovenous fistula.

Read the detailed description

This is an European multi-center observational study. Treatments and follow-up visits will be done as per standard of care.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the PHIL® device in the treatment of intracranial dural ArterioVenous Fistula (dAVF). The PHIL® device, a non-adhesive liquid embolic agent, has been CE marked since July 2014. It is intended for use in the embolization of lesions in the peripheral and neurovasculature, including arteriovenous malformations and hypervascular tumors.

All patients with an intracranial dAVF that has not been previously treated and will be treated by embolization with PHIL® are eligible for this study. A maximum of 70 patients will be enrolled in this study in 16 European Institutions.

The expected approximate study duration is 38 months.

Study population

Any patients having an untreated dural arteriovenous fistula requiring treatment will be screened by the investigational sites. Those eligible to be treated with PHIL® will be enrolled after having dated and signed an informed consent form as per appropriate regulation in the participating country.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Patient or patient's legally authorized representative has received information about data collection and has signed and dated an Form
  2. Patient has an intracranial dAVF that can be treated by embolization with PHIL® used with or without other embolization products except other non-adhesive liquid embolic agents (i.e. Squid, Onyx).
  3. Patient is at least 18 years of age.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient has multiple dAVFs to be treated.
  2. Patient participates in a study evaluating another medical device, procedure, or medication during the course of dAVF treatment and follow-up per the study protocol.
  3. Patient does not give consent to the collection and processing of data required for centralized monitoring
  1. Any condition that could prevent patient follow up.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of adverse events and assessment of neurological status at 1 month after each embolization

    Neurological assessment by mRS

    Time frame: 1 month

  2. Assessment of cure rate and of clinical course of the patient (stable /improvement /deteriorated)

    Cure rate assessment by Angiography

    Time frame: 3-6 months after last embolization

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of adverse events and assessment of neurological status

    Neurological assessment by mRS

    Time frame: 3-6 months after last embolization

  2. Improvement in the quality of life of the patient and changes in patients symptoms

    Assessed by Quality of Life Questionnaire EQ 5D

    Time frame: 3-6 months after last embolization
