  21. Subjects with aminotransferase ( and/or AST) which is ≥1.5x (ULN) or TB is out of normal range for the evaluating laboratory.
  22. Subjects that may not tolerate the lowering of their systolic blood pressure to approximately 100mmHg, should not be considered for this study or treated using the Nectero EAST System.
  23. Subjects that may not be able to tolerate transient occlusion of the aorta should not be considered for this study.
  24. Subjects with saccular AAA.
  25. Subjects with rapidly expanding AAA (previous diameter increases of ≥0.5 cm in 6-months or ≥1 cm in 1 year) as these should be evaluated for immediate repair.
  26. Subjects who are not suitable for the Nectero EAST System treatment, as determined by the investigator.
  27. Subjects with out of normal range for the evaluating laboratory for a subject not on anti-coagulant therapy; or INR >3 for a subject on anti-coagulant therapy.
  28. Subjects with active/acute or a history of unstable chronic liver disease or current liver disease including but not limited to liver transplant, known genetic disorders such as Gilbert syndrome or other liver diseases.
  29. Subjects with cirrhosis (e.g., known history or new clinical diagnosis by elastography with a fibrosis score of F3 or F4 and/or steatosis grade of S3).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

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.

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.

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.

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.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

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.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Interventional

    Use of the EAST System for the stabilization treatment of AAA. The device is delivered endovascularly and placed in the AAA sac to deliver the Stabilizer Infusion Solution.

    Combination Product: Nectero EAST System

Interventions

  • Combination productNectero EAST System

    Participants will undergo an endovascular procedure using the Nectero EAST System to deliver the Stabilizer Infusion Solution directly inside the aneurysm. This is a one-time local delivery of the product.

06

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Efficacy: technical success

    Technical success as defined by successful insertion of the catheter and delivery of the Stabilizer Solution dose.

    Time frame: Up to 30 days

  2. Safety: adverse events post-treatment

    Treatment-related adverse events up to 30 days after retreatment with the Nectero EAST System.

    Time frame: Up to 30 days

  3. Efficacy: aneurysm growth over time

    Aneurysmal growth rate post-treatment over time as compared to the immediate pretreatment annual growth rate. The growth rate over time in aneurysm diameter will be based on CT core laboratory readings at 12- and 24-months post-treatment.

    Time frame: At 12 and 24 months post-treatment
