Study summary

This study is evaluating the safety and clinical performance of the BosSTENT, a new stent designed specifically for treating pulse-synchronous tinnitus due to venous sinus stenosis. The study will evaluate the long-term safety of the BosSTENT as well as its impact on the severity of pulse-synchronous tinnitus.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Male or female ≥18 - 80 years old
  2. Able to provide to participate in the study
  3. Severe or catastrophic PST (THI grade ≥ 4; THI score ≥ 58) that responds to jugular vein compression.
  4. Cerebral venous sinus stenosis with the following characteristics:

    1. Transverse cerebral venous sinus
    2. >50% stenosis by computed tomography venogram (CTV), magnetic resonance venogram (MRV), or catheter cerebral angiography
    3. Vessel diameter amenable to sizing according to Table 1 below without the need to undersize
  5. Attempted PST amelioration with at least one non-invasive therapy (i.e., to non-invasive therapy)
  6. Willing to comply with protocol requirements and return to the treatment center for all required clinical evaluations and follow-up
  7. >12 months

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Dural cerebral venous sinus stenosis secondary to an underlying condition (e.g. brain tumor) that may be treated by alternative established therapies (e.g., surgery, embolization)
  2. Previously implanted stent in the target vessel
  3. to anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet therapy or thrombolytic drugs
  4. Target vessel size that does not fall within the indicated range per Table 1 of the IFU
  5. History of severe allergy to contrast/contrast media or nickel
  6. Non-pulse-synchronous tinnitus
  7. Current diagnosis of papilledema
  8. Dural arteriovenous fistula or arteriovenous malformation
  9. History of untreated atrial fibrillation, untreated/uncontrollable hypertension, or other stroke factors
  10. History of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism
  11. History of heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, or congenital heart conditions
  12. Arterial stenosis, dissection, or aneurysm
  13. PST due to causes not related to cerebral venous sinus stenosis
  14. Evidence of an active systemic infection
  15. Venous sinus thrombosis, jugular compression, venous aberrant or tortuous anatomy that would prevent the safe delivery and deployment of the BosSTENT to the target treatment zone.
  16. Cerebral venous sinus diverticulum that, in the Investigator's opinion, requires treatment other than stenting (e.g., coiling)
  17. Otologic disorders that may confound PST assessments, including, but not limited to misophonia or hyperacusis
  18. Hypercoagulable state or hemorrhagic or coagulation deficiency to medical therapy
  19. Suffered a stroke within the past 6 months
  20. count \<100x109/L (100,000/µL)
  21. Participation in another protocol
  22. Immuno-compromised
  23. Pregnant or nursing women (females of who are less than 45 years old must have a pregnancy test and provide written proof that they are not pregnant prior to inclusion)
  24. Other clinical conditions, that in the opinion of the Investigator significantly compromise the ability to perform a safe and/or effective procedure
  25. Incapacitated, mentally compromised or otherwise incapable of understanding and/or providing
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Major adverse events (MAE)

    MAEs are defined as symptomatic, serious, procedure- or device-related post-procedure complications: major stroke, neurological death, in-stent thrombosis, target vessel restenosis, stent-adjacent stenosis, or stent migration

    Time frame: 3 months

  2. Improvement of pulse-synchronous tinnitus measured by a decrease of at least 2 grades or 40 points on the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI)

    THI ranges from 0-100 points with zero indicating no handicap due to tinnitus and increasing scores indicating progressively worse handicap due to tinnitus. Grades range from 1-5 going from Slight (0-16 points), to Mild (18-36 points), Moderate (38-56 points), Severe (58-76 points) and finally Catastrophic (78-100 points)

    Time frame: 30 days
