Study summary

This study seeks to evaluate the feasibility of a Abdominal Aortic Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (AAJT-S) in exanguinating trauma patients with non-compressible truncal haemorrhage in the emergency room and the pre-hospital setting.

Read the detailed description

Much like REBOA, AAJT-S can potentially stop blood flow distal to the device and therefore improve proximal aortic perfusion, minimize haemorrhage and stabilize patients until definite surgical repair/bleeding control is feasible. In contrast to REBOA, there is no need of femoral access and therefore, appropriate training is easily achieved.

This study seeks to gather further information on the benefits and potential harms of this intervention on a multicentre level.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
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

Start is estimated for Feb 2026; primary completion for Feb 2028, 24 months later.

Of 30 observational studies under Multiple Trauma, half reached primary completion within 22 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 57. This study's planned 24 months is close to that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Dec 10, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
