Study summary

A prospective, single-arm, multicenter, open-label, First-in-Human \& Pivotal Study to assess the safety and efficacy of amber SEL-P in 70 patients requiring peripheral embolization: vascular anomalies, hemorrhages, aneurysms, and pseudoaneurysms, varicose veins, portal vein, hypervascular tumors, type -II endoleaks, and pathological organs.

The study will be divided into two consecutive stages. Stage I will be dedicated to testing the device's safety, followed immediately by stage II, aimed to test the device's efficacy. The overall study sample will be used to assess the device safety and efficacy in all the enrolled participants.

  • Previously failed embolization procedure, except for those treated with coils
  • Patient in whom according to the investigator criteria a complete vascular occlusion would not be feasible in a single procedure

  • Central nervous system and central circulatory system vascular anomalies.
  • Iodine contrast allergy
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.

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.

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.

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.
