Carotid Stenting vs. Surgery of Severe Carotid Artery Disease and Stroke Prevention in Asymptomatic Patients (ACT I) - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Abbott Vascular
Information provided by (Responsible Party):	Abbott Vascular
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00106938

Purpose

The study is being conducted to demonstrate the non-inferiority of carotid artery stenting (CAS) using the Emboshield® Embolic Protection System with the Xact® Carotid Stent System to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for the treatment of asymptomatic extracranial carotid atherosclerotic disease.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Occurrence of major adverse events 30 days following the procedure [ Time Frame: 0 to 365 days post procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Major adverse events = Composite of any stroke, myocardial infarction and death during the 30-day post-procedural period and ipsilateral strokes between 31 and 365 days post-procedure.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Acute device success [ Time Frame: 0 to 30 days post procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Procedural success [ Time Frame: 0 to 30 days post procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Composite Morbidity Measure [ Time Frame: 0 to 30 Days Post-procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Composite Morbidity Measure = Cranial and peripheral nerve injury (cranial/cervical, femoral, peroneal, or other), vascular injury (including CAS access artery injury), non-cerebral bleeding, hematoma, or pseudoaneurysm, CEA wound or access artery wound, general anesthesia/allergic reaction/airway complications.
Freedom from clinically indicated target lesion revascularization [ Time Frame: at 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Freedom from clinically indicated target lesion revascularization [ Time Frame: at 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Freedom from ipsilateral stroke [ Time Frame: at 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Freedom from ipsilateral stroke [ Time Frame: at 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Freedom from ipsilateral stroke [ Time Frame: at 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Freedom from ipsilateral stroke [ Time Frame: at 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Freedom from mortality [ Time Frame: at 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Freedom from mortality [ Time Frame: at 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Freedom from mortality [ Time Frame: at 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Freedom from mortality [ Time Frame: at 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Freedom from mortality [ Time Frame: at 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: 1 CAS group: 3:1 ratio of Carotid Artery Stenting (CAS) versus Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA). Subjects will be followed at 30 days, six (6), and 12 months post-procedure, and annually for four (4) additional years.	Device: Carotid artery stenting with filter (interventional) Carotid artery stenting with filter (interventional)
Active Comparator: 2 CEA group: 3:1 ratio of Carotid Artery Stenting (CAS) versus Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA). Subjects will be followed at 30 days, six (6), and 12 months post-procedure, and annually for four (4) additional years.	Procedure: Carotid artery endarterectomy (surgical) Carotid artery endarterectomy (surgical)

Detailed Description:

Randomization for ACT 1 employs a 3:1 ratio of CAS versus CEA. A lead-in phase of up to 400 carotid stent subjects will provide investigators experience with the study devices prior to pivotal enrollment.
