Study summary

The INNER-B-APAC post-market clinical follow-up study is undertaken to demonstrate the safety and clinical performance of the E-nside TAAA Multibranch Stent Graft System used in endovascular treatment of patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.

Read the detailed description

In this study, patients will be observed who are planned to be treated an E-nside TAAA Multibranch Stent Graft System for endovascular repair of a degenerative, atherosclerotic thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. The E-nside TAAA Multibranch Stent Graft will be implanted at the discretion of the treating physician. Participating physicians will be asked to provide their observations collected during routine care for patients he/she had decided to treat with the E-nside TAAA Multibranch Stent Graft System. Informed consent of the patients to allow the use of their clinical records for the purpose of this observational study will be obtained before data are being collected. Patient data will be documented in an eCRF at the following time points: Pre-operative planning, intervention(s), discharge(s) from hospital, 30 days, 3-6 and 12 months follow-up. The period of data collection will be approximately 12 months (depending on the time point of the 12 months FU visit) from the index procedure for each patient. A 100% source data verification will be performed regarding patient information and consent, criteria of patients to be documented, pre-operative planning, intervention(s), treatment results, adverse events, death, and reintervention. Complete DICOM image files of the CT scans will be sent to a CoreLab for independent second evaluation.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

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.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

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.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
