Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Aneurysm, Ruptured, a narrower term within Aneurysm.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Read the detailed description

Prospective, international, single-arm, multicenter, registry study. Patients presenting with evidence of Wide Neck unruptured or ruptured intracranial aneurysm (≤ 20 mm in widest diameter) requiring treatment will be enrolled into the study and treated using the SEAL™ System. Immediate post-procedure angiographic findings, clinical presentation, safety, and optional imaging follow-up for each subject will be collected at 24 hours or discharge, 3 months, 6 months, and required primary end point 12 months post-procedure. DSA at 12 months will be required imaging for the primary effectiveness endpoint assessment. Subjects follow up will continue annually for a total of five years post procedure.

Probability sample

Study population

All adult subjects between 20 and 80 years of age and presenting with an unruptured or ruptured saccular Wide Neck intracranial aneurysm with less or equal to 20 mm in its widest diameter (2.5mm-20mm range) that in the opinion of the Principal Investigator requires treatment and suitable candidate for intrasaccular flow diversion treatment, who meet all eligibility criteria, will be considered for study enrollment. Up to 200 adult subjects will be enrolled in the study in up to 25 centers.

  5. Presence of vascular disease or other vascular abnormality that could prohibit access to index aneurysm such carotid stenosis or diminished caliber of the target artery.
  6. Clinical, angiographic, or CT evidence of CNS arterial vasculitis, Moyamoya disease, intracranial tumor (except small meningioma), or any other intracranial vascular malformations.
  7. Patients with high risk for recurrent ischemic stroke due to previous history of ischemic stroke symptoms such as (TIAs), minor, or major strokes within the past 60 days. Other stroke risk factors such as intracranial stenosis or atrial fibrillation.

    • Sensitivity to nickel is not specifically excluded, Galaxy Therapeutics, Inc (GTI) performed ASTM F2129 testing recommended by the FDA in its 2015 and 2019 guiding documents. GTI results from the testing indicated that SEALTM meets the acceptance criteria that there is a high probability that the margin of safety against pitting (Eb-Er) is 200mV or higher, therefore, with high confidence, no further testing is required. The IFU contains the following precaution: "For patients with known or allergic reaction to the implant components such as titanium or to nickel, use of the SEALTM System may lead to allergic reaction and user should counsel the patient on the device components".
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

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.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Interventions

  • DeviceSEAL Device

    Using standard interventional endovascular techniques, the device is navigated via the push wire delivery system through compatible neurovascular microcatheters to the aneurysm lumen or target site. The device is positioned into its target aneurysm lumen and is electrically detached by the operator with a hand-held, battery-powered detachment handle designed specifically for the SEAL Embolization System.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of subjects with successful aneurysm occlusion at 12 months without parent artery stenosis or retreatment, as determined by independent core lab.

    * Index aneurysm occlusion is defined as achieving WEB Occlusion Scale (WOS) of A or B at 12 months.1,2 * Index aneurysm parent arterial stenosis is defined as diameter stenosis of \>50%. Index aneurysm retreatment at any point post procedure throughout the duration of the study period will be considered a failure for the primary efficacy endpoint.

    Time frame: 12 Months
