New device aims to seal brain aneurysms and prevent strokes
NCT ID NCT07143019
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study is testing a device called a flow modulator to treat wide-necked brain aneurysms. The device is placed inside the artery to redirect blood flow away from the aneurysm, helping it close off. Researchers will check if the device is safe and effective in 214 adults over 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- p48 MW HPC and p64 MW HPC Flow Modulation Device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could offer a safe and effective way to treat wide-necked brain aneurysms, reducing the risk of stroke or rupture.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-arm trial without a comparison group, so results may be less definitive. Risks include stroke or neurological death from the procedure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject is ≥ 18 years 2. Subject has a mRS ≤2 before the index procedure 3. Subject has an unruptured or recanalized intracranial aneurysm (IA). The subject may also have a previous ruptured aneurysm, provided rupture of this aneurysm has occurred more than 30 days from the index procedure. The IA must have the following characteristics below: 1. Saccular or fusiform morphology 2. Located in the internal carotid artery and its branches 3. Aneurysm neck ≥4 mm or dome-to-neck ratio \<2 4. Parent vessel diameter ≥2.0mm and ≤5.0mm both distal and proximal to the target IA 4. Subject or subject's legally authorized representative (LAR) has provided written informed consent and has agreed to comply with study procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previous flow diverter or stent within the parent vessel of the target aneurysm to be treated 2. Any other known IA requiring treatment within 3 months post-procedure 3. Subarachnoid hemorrhage in the past 30 days prior to the index procedure 4. Has a true bifurcation aneurysm, defined as an aneurysm (saccular or non-saccular) located at the point of vessel bifurcation 5. Anatomy unsuitable for endovascular procedure due to severe vessel tortuosity or stenosis, or stented ipsilateral carotid artery within 3 months prior to the index procedure 6. Subject with a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) or other vascular malformation in the area of the target aneurysm 7. Major surgery in the last 30 days, including endovascular procedures, or is planned in the next 90 days after enrollment date 8. Unstable neurologic deficit (i.e., any worsening of clinical condition in the last 30 days) 9. Known serious sensitivity to radiographic contrast agents that cannot be managed medically 10. Known sensitivity to nickel, titanium metals or their alloys or any other investigational device components 11. Irreversible bleeding disorder and/or signs of active bleeding at subject presentation 12. Known renal failure with a serum creatinine \>2.5 mg/dl (or 220 μmol/l) not on dialysis 13. Contraindication to CT scan, MRI, or angiography 14. Contraindication or known allergies to anticoagulants or antiplatelets (e.g. aspirin, heparin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, or ticagrelor) 15. Known coagulopathy, or an admission International Normalized Ratio \>3.0 without oral anticoagulation therapy, or an admission platelet count of \<100000 16. Has acute life-threatening illness other than the neurological disease (i.e., acute kidney or heart failure) to be treated in this trial 17. Unable to complete the required study follow-ups 18. Evidence of active infection at the time of treatment (e.g., fever, elevated white blood cell count) 19. Participating in another clinical trial that could affect participation or primary outcomes of this study 20. Women currently pregnant or wish to become pregnant during the study or breast feeding.
