New suction device aims to clear dangerous leg clots
NCT ID NCT07102160
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a device called the Cleaner Vac® Thrombectomy System, which uses suction to remove blood clots from deep veins in the leg. About 185 adults with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) will be enrolled. The goal is to see if the device can safely and effectively clear the clot and reduce the risk of long-term complications like post-thrombotic syndrome.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Cleaner Vac® Thrombectomy System (a device that uses suction to remove blood clots)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could offer a safer, more effective way to remove large blood clots from leg veins, potentially reducing long-term leg pain and swelling.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 185 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. There are risks of bleeding, vessel damage, or the device not fully removing the clot.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study will enroll up to 185 adult participants undergoing percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy using the Cleaner Vac® Thrombectomy System for the treatment of thrombus in the peripheral venous vasculature. Participants must be at least 18 years old and undergoing frontline treatment with the Cleaner Vac® device. The DVT subgroup must have symptomatic, imaging-confirmed DVT involving the femoral-popliteal, common femoral, iliac veins, or inferior vena cava (IVC), with symptom onset within 6 weeks and imaging confirmation within 14 days of the index procedure. The study population is intended to reflect a real-world, all-comers cohort treated across up to 50 investigational sites in the United States.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Participants must meet all the following criteria to be eligible for the study: 1. At least 18 years of age at the time of consent. 2. Undergo frontline (primary) treatment with Cleaner Vac® Thrombectomy System in the peripheral venous vasculature and have at least one component introduced into the body. 3. Written informed consent obtained through the IRB-approved ICF. For the DVT cohort, participants must meet all criteria above and below to be eligible for the study: 4. Present with unilateral or bilateral lower extremity DVT involving at least one of the following veins: 1. Femoral-popliteal vein 2. Common femoral vein 3. Iliac vein 4. Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) 5. DVT diagnosis confirmed by imaging within 14 days of the index procedure. 6. Symptomatic DVT with onset within 6 weeks of enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: Subjects will be excluded from the study if any of the following criteria are met: 1. Contraindication to systemic or therapeutic doses of anticoagulants. 2. Contraindication to iodinated contrast that cannot be adequately premedicated. 3. Life expectancy less than 1 year due to advanced malignancy, as determined by the investigator at the time of enrollment 4. Patients that are pregnant. 5. Known coagulation disorders both acquired (Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia, etc.) or genetic (e.g., Factor V Leiden, etc.), thrombophilia, or hypercoagulable states that, in the opinion of the Investigator, cannot be medically managed throughout the study period. 6. Treatment of target venous segment with thrombolytics within previous 14 days of the index procedure. 7. Known congenital anatomic anomalies of the inferior vena cava (IVC) or iliac veins. 8. Known history of a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO). 9. Hemoglobin \< 8.0 g/dL, INR \> 2.0 before warfarin was started, or platelets \< 50,000/µl which cannot be corrected prior to enrollment. 10. Severe renal impairment (estimated GFR \< 30 ml/min) in patients who are not yet on dialysis. Patients with GFR \<30 ml/min who are already on dialysis can be enrolled. 11. Patients with intermediate-high risk or high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) defined as follows: 1. High-risk PE: Presence of hemodynamic instability, including cardiac arrest, obstructive shock (systolic blood pressure \<90 mmHg or need for vasopressors with signs of end-organ hypoperfusion), or persistent hypotension (systolic BP \<90 mmHg or a drop ≥40 mmHg for \>15 minutes not due to other causes) 2. Intermediate-high-risk PE: Hemodynamically stable patients with both right ventricular (RV) dysfunction (on echocardiography or CT) and elevated cardiac biomarkers (e.g., troponin). 12. Complete infrarenal IVC occlusion. 13. Chronic non-ambulatory status. 14. Current enrollment in another investigational device or drug study that may confound the results of this study. Studies requiring extended follow-up for products that were investigational but have since become commercially available are not considered investigational studies.
