Study summary

The primary objective of the clinical investigation "Physician Modified Endovascular Grafts for the Treatment of Elective, Symptomatic or Ruptured Complex Aortic Aneurysms" is to assess the use of the Physician-Modified Endovascular Grafts to repair juxtarenal aneurysms in high-risk subjects considered to be high risk candidates for open surgical repair, have limited or no other options for on label treatment with an FDA approved device, and having appropriate anatomy.

Read the detailed description

The primary intent of the study is to assess safety and preliminary effectiveness of the physician modified endografts acutely (i.e., treatment success and technical success), at 30 days (i.e., the rate of major adverse events (MAE)) and at 6 months, 12 months and annually to 5 years (i.e., the proportion of treatment group subjects that achieve and maintain treatment success).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient has a mycotic aneurysm or has an active systemic or local infection that may increase the risk of endovascular infection
  2. Patient has unstable angina (defined as angina with a progressive increase in symptoms, new onset at rest or nocturnal angina, or onset of prolonged angina)
  3. Patient has a major surgical or interventional procedure, not related to the endovascular repair, planned within +/- 30 days of the AAA repair.

  7. Patient has a body habitus that would inhibit X-ray visualization of the aorta
  8. Patient has a limited of less than 1 year
  9. Patient is currently participating in another device or drug clinical trial
  10. Patient has other medical, social or psychological conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, preclude them from receiving the pre-treatment, required treatment, and post-treatment procedures and evaluations.
  11. Thrombus or excessive calcification within the neck of the aneurysm
  12. Branch vessel stenosis ≥ 80 %
  13. Patients treatable on label with FDA approved EVAR or FEVAR device and can wait for device availability.
  14. Subject is willing and eligible to enroll in a manufacturer-sponsored study at the investigational site, or the subject is willing and eligible to participate in a study with a manufacturer-made device at another institution.

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.

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.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

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.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Primary Safety Endpoint: Safety of PMEG device will be measured by proportion of subjects who experience a Major Adverse Event (MAE) within 30 days of the index procedure.

    The Primary Safety Endpoint is defined as the proportion of subjects who experience a Major Adverse Event (MAE) within 30 days of the index procedure. Major Adverse Events that will be recorded include the following: * All-cause mortality * Myocardial Infarction * Stroke * Renal Failure * Respiratory Failure * Paraplegia * Bowel Ischemia * Procedural Blood Loss (\> 1000cc)

    Time frame: 30 days

  2. Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Will be measured by calculating the proportion of patients that achieve Treatment Success

    Effectiveness of the PMEG device will be measured by the calculating the proportion of subjects that achieve Treatment Success. Treatment Success is a will be assessed at 12 months and is define by a combination of following criteria to be met: * Technical Success (at the index procedure). * Freedom from Type I \& III endoleaks at 12 months * Freedom from stent graft migration at 12 months * Freedom from aortic aneurysm enlargement at 12 months * Freedom from aortic aneurysm rupture and conversion to open repair through 12 months Technical Success at the index procedure will be defined by: The physician was able to insert the delivery catheter and deliver the physician modified endovascular graft to the treatment site and preserve blood flow into the vessels intended to have blood flow preserved.

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Secondary Safety Endpoints: Will be assessed by measuring proportion of patients encountering any of the following adverse events

    The adverse events will be evaluated at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months following the initial implant procedure and annually through 5 years. The adverse events to be evaluated include: * Mortality * Aneurysm related mortality * Aneurysm rupture * Major Adverse Events (MAE) * Renal Failure with or without permanent dialysis * Graft infection

    Time frame: Through 5 years

  2. Secondary Effectiveness Endpoints: Defined by proportion of patients experiencing the following events.

    The secondary effectiveness endpoints will be evaluated at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months following the initial implant procedure and annually through 5 years: Following secondary endpoints will be evaluated for every patient: * Technical Success (evaluated at 30-days) * Stent graft migration (\>10 mm) * All endoleaks, including Type I \& III endoleaks * AAA enlargement * Patency related events * Device integrity failure * Conversion to open repair * Secondary intervention (reason and type)

    Time frame: Through 5 years

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2027, 23 months after the start.

Of 44 interventional studies with no phase under Aortic Aneurysm, half reached primary completion within 53 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 70. This study's planned 23 months is below that.

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 Aug 24, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
