What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing a device called FlowTriever that removes blood clots from the lungs in people with a severe, high-risk pulmonary embolism. About 200 participants will be randomly assigned to get either the device or standard care. The goal is to see if the device reduces death, cardiac arrest, major bleeding, and the need for life support.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
FlowTriever System (a device that removes blood clots from the lungs)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a more effective treatment for high-risk pulmonary embolism, potentially reducing death and complications.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early-stage study with 200 participants. The device may not prove better than standard care, and there are risks like major bleeding or need for additional procedures.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 200 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Dec 2024

Expected to finish

Feb 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age at enrollment ≥18 years 2. Objective evidence of a proximal filling defect in at least one main or lobar pulmonary artery 3. High-risk class of acute PE 4. RV dysfunction, as defined RV/LV ratio ≥1.0 5. Willing and able to provide informed consent, or if unable, through a Legal Authorized Representative, with permitting research without prior consent as a third option (for Europe and UK sites only), provided compliance with IRB/EC approvals and adherence to regulatory, ethical and national standards Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prolonged cardiac arrest with loss of consciousness associated with neurological deficit. 2. Imaging evidence or other evidence that suggests, in the opinion of the Investigator, the patient is not appropriate for catheter-based intervention 3. Known pre-existing CTEPH, or CT signs of chronic PE that may point to pre-existing CTEPH 4. Recent stroke (\<14 days) 5. Recent cranial or spinal surgery (\<14 days) 6. Life-threatening active bleeding or hemorrhage into a critical area 7. Known intracranial tumor 8. End-stage medical condition with life expectancy \<3 months (irrespective of the severity of acute PE), as determined by the Investigator 9. Known sensitivity to radiographic contrast agents that, in the Investigator's opinion, cannot be adequately pre-treated 10. Inability to anticoagulate the patient, or known to have heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) 11. Current participation in another drug or device study that may interfere with the conduct of this trial 12. Ventricular arrhythmias refractory to treatment at the time of enrollment 13. Subject has any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the subject (e.g., compromise the well-being or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments), including a contraindication to use of FlowTriever System per local approved labeling 14. Subject is part of a vulnerable population (e.g., currently pregnant, breastfeeding or incarcerated) per local definitions 15. Subject was previously enrolled in this study 16. Subject has received prior thrombolytic (systemic or catheter-directed) therapy for any reason or thrombectomy (surgical or catheter-based) therapy for index PE, within 30 days prior to randomization
