What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tested a special sheath (the Protrieve Sheath) placed in a large vein to catch any blood clots that might break loose during a procedure to remove deep vein clots (DVT). The goal was to prevent those clots from reaching the lungs and causing a pulmonary embolism. The study included 66 people at high risk for such complications. Researchers measured how well the device captured clots and whether it caused any serious side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Protrieve Sheath (a device that catches blood clots during a procedure to remove deep vein clots)
What this could lead to
If it works, this device could reduce the risk of a blood clot traveling to the lungs during DVT treatment, making the procedure safer.
What could go wrong
This was a small, single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may not be definitive. The device itself carries risks like bleeding or damage to blood vessels.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

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 ≥ 18 years 2. Planned intervention for DVT presenting with one or more of the following characteristics indicative of elevated risk for PE: 1. Bilateral iliofemoral DVT 2. Clot extending into or located in the IVC 3. In-stent thrombosis 4. Presence of thrombosed IVC filter 5. Other features that the investigator deems put the subject at elevated risk for thromboembolism 3. Willing and able to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: 1. Current symptomatic PE 2. Known anatomic inability to place Protrieve device via jugular vein access site 3. Presence of clot extending to the IVC-Right Atrial junction or in the SVC 4. Subject is pregnant 5. Severe allergy to iodinated contrast agents that cannot be mitigated 6. INR \> 1.7 if not currently on anticoagulation therapy, platelets \< 50,000/μl which cannot be corrected prior to enrollment, or Hemoglobin \< 8.0 g/dL 7. Severe renal impairment in patients who are not yet on dialysis that in the Investigator's discretion would pose risk to the patient with the use of marketed contrast agents 8. Subject is participating in another study that may interfere with this study 9. Subject has any condition for which, in the opinion of the Investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the subject 10. Subject has previously completed or withdrawn from this study 11. Limb-threatening circulatory compromise (e.g., phlegmasia) 12. Uncontrolled severe hypertension on repeated readings (systolic \> 180mmHg or diastolic \> 105mmHg) 13. Severe allergy, hypersensitivity to, or thrombocytopenia from heparin 14. Inability to provide therapeutic anticoagulation per Investigator discretion 15. Known hypercoagulable states that, in the opinion of the Investigator, cannot be medically managed throughout the study period 16. Inability to be a candidate for intervention due to medical or technical reasons based on physician judgement
