New Clot-Busting device tested for lung emergency
NCT ID NCT06189313
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a device called the Cleaner Pro Thrombectomy System, which is threaded through a blood vessel to suction out clots in the lungs of people with acute pulmonary embolism. The trial aims to see if the device safely reduces heart strain and avoids major complications. It plans to enroll 125 adults with recent clot symptoms and evidence of heart strain.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Cleaner Pro Thrombectomy System (a catheter-based device to remove blood clots)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could offer a new way to quickly remove dangerous clots from the lungs, potentially reducing heart strain and improving outcomes for people with acute pulmonary embolism.
- What could go wrong
- This trial is currently suspended, and it is still early—results may not confirm the device is safe or effective. Risks include bleeding, vessel injury, or other serious complications.

Inclusion Criteria: * At least 18 years of age at the time of consent * Clinical signs, symptoms, and presentation consistent with acute PE * Onset of PE symptoms occurred within 14 days of presentation * Filling defect in at least one main or lobar pulmonary artery evidenced by CTA * RV dysfunction on CTA or echocardiography defined as RV/LV ratio \>0.9 Exclusion Criteria: * tPA use within 14 days prior to baseline CTA * Systolic BP \<90 mmHg for 15 min or the requirement of inotropic support to maintain systolic BP ≥90 mmHg * Diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension primary type I or CTEPH; if patient does not have diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension but peak PA \>70 mmHg by right heart catheterization or elevated main pulmonary artery to aorta ratio (MPA:A), up to investigator discretion. * History of severe or chronic pulmonary hypertension * FiO2 requirement \>40% or \>6 LPM to keep oxygen saturations \>90% * Hematocrit \<28% * Platelets \<100,000/µL * Serum creatinine \>1.8 mg/dL * INR \>3 * aPTT (or PTT) \>50 seconds on no anticoagulation * History of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) * Recent (within six months) history of stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or intracranial bleeding * Recent (within one month) history of active bleeding from a major organ * Absolute contraindication to anticoagulation * Major trauma such as head trauma, or other active intracranial, or intraspinal disease within 14 days * Presence of intracardiac lead in the right ventricle or right atrium placed within 6 months * Cardiovascular or pulmonary surgery within last 7 days * Cancer which requires active chemotherapy * Known serious, uncontrolled sensitivity to radiographic agents * Life expectancy \<90 days, as determined by investigator * Female who is pregnant * Intracardiac thrombus * Patients who present with cardiac arrest and/or are on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or ECMO required to perform interventional procedure * Simultaneous participation in another investigational study * Patients with known coagulation disorders such as antiphospholipid, Protein C, and Protein S * Presentation of PE with paradoxical emboli which may be diagnosed by concurrent stroke or concurrent arterialization
