Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Endoleak, 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 →

Study summary

The objective of the study is to collect and evaluate clinical data on patients of the Lifetech Cera™ Vascular Plug System to:

  • confirm the performance
  • confirm the safety
  • identify previously unknown side-effects
  • monitor the identified side-effects (related to the procedures or to the medical devices)
  • identify and analyse emergent risks
Read the detailed description

Lifetech Cera™ Vascular Plug System is indicated for arterial and venous embolization in the peripheral vasculature. This study, planned under the MDR requirements, aims to confirm the safety and performance of the Lifetech Cera™ Vascular Plug System, identify previously unknown side-effects, monitor the identified side-effects (related to the procedures or to the medical devices), identify and analyse emergent risks. The Study intends to enroll 132 subjects. The estimated enrollment period is 1 year, and the expected duration of each subject's participation is 1 year (i.e., the follow-up period). Final report shall be completed in 2026.

Study population

Patients who need arterial or venous embolization in the peripheral vasculature.

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. Aged 18 to 85;
  2. > 1 year;
  3. Require arterial or venous embolization in the peripheral vasculature;
  4. Target embolization site(s) allow for safe insertion of the delivery catheter;
  5. Voluntarily sign and date the Form (ICF) prior to any study-related activities commencement;
  6. Willing and able to comply with protocol requirements, including all study visits and procedures.
  7. Patients for whom the doctor has decided to use the Cera Vascular Plug System, regardless of the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. The subject is pregnant or plan to be pregnant or breast feeding;
  2. The subject has a known allergy or to any of the device materials including: nickel, stainless steel, polytetrafluoroethylene and titanium nitride;
  3. The subject has a known allergy or hypersensitivity to contrast agent;
  4. The subject has uncorrectable coagulopathy;
  5. The subject has planned use of anticoagulant (e.g. direct thrombin inhibitors, factor Xa inhibitors, vitamin K antagonists) or antiplatelet therapy before, during and/or after treatment with the study device, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would clinically interfere with the study endpoints
  6. The subject has an unresolved systemic infection;
  7. Subject who cannot tolerate general or local anesthesia;
  8. The subject has a connective tissue disorders (e.g. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), arteritis (e.g. Takayasu's Disease) or another circulatory disorder;
  9. The subject is participating in other drug or medical device clinical trials;
  10. Any condition (medical or anatomic) making the subject not suitable for transcatheter embolotherapy according to the opinion of the investigator.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Groups and cohorts

  • Cera Vascular Plug Subjects

    Patients who need arterial or venous embolization in the peripheral vasculature.

    Device: Cera™ Vascular Plug System

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Technical success

    Complete occlusion of the target embolization site at the time of the procedure. A target embolization site is considered completely occluded if angiography showed no residual flow.

    Time frame: at procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of clinically relevant recanalization

    Clinically relevant recanalization is defined as recanalization through the study device that requires a re-intervention.

    Time frame: at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-procedure

  2. Incidence of clinically relevant migration

    Clinically relevant migration is defined as migration of the study device from the target embolization site that requires a re-intervention.

    Time frame: at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-procedure

  3. Incidence of device and/or procedure-related Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: from attempted procedure to 12 months post-procedure

  4. Incidence of device and/or procedure-related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: from attempted procedure to 12 months post-procedure

  5. Incidence of device deficiencies

    Device deficiency means any inadequacy in the identity, quality, durability, reliability, safety or performance of an investigational device, including malfunction, use errors or inadequacy in the information supplied by the manufacturer.

    Time frame: from attempted procedure to 12 months post-procedure

  6. Time to occlusion

    Defined as the time from the device placement to complete occlusion of the target embolization sites.

    Time frame: at procedure

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.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 12, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
