Brief Summary:
The trial is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of using the Zoom Reperfusion System in subjects diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke and undergoing a thrombectomy procedure within 8 hours of last known well.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Ischemic Stroke Acute Stroke Device: Zoom Reperfusion System Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Each year 17 million people suffer stroke worldwide. According to the World Stroke Organization, stroke has become the second cause of death and disability worldwide. In the United States, every year, more than 795,000 people have a stroke. Given the large-scale challenges of curing stroke, prevention and treatments for stroke are much needed. Ischemic stroke is treatable in many patients if they have early access to viable treatments.

This trial is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial designed to assess the potential treatment benefits of using the Imperative Care 0.088" Catheters in conjunction with the other devices in the Zoom Reperfusion System to restore blood flow in patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusive disease. The Zoom Reperfusion System includes the Imperative Care 0.088" Catheters, the Zoom Reperfusion Catheters (0.035" to 0.071" Catheters), Zoom Aspiration Tubing, and Zoom Aspiration Pump. The trial will assess reperfusion success using the mTICI scores in the absence of any rescue therapy, reperfusion time, first-pass success, and functional independence including a quality-of-life assessment.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 262 participants
Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Intervention Model Description: Prospective, multicenter, open-label with independent outcome assessments.
Masking: None (Open Label)
Masking Description:

Reperfusion will be graded by an independent core lab that is not an enrolling investigational site.

Neurological Outcome Assessors (NIHSS assessment): Neurological outcome assessors who will perform post-procedure 24-hour NIHSS assessments are NIHSS certified team members not performing the thrombectomy procedure and with no financial conflict of interest with Imperative Care, Inc.

Functional Outcome Assessors (mRS assessment): Functional outcome assessors who will perform post-procedure assessments are part of achieving unbiased study objectives. They will not have access to patient data.

Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Prospective, Multi-center, Open Label and Single Arm Clinical Investigation to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Using the Zoom Reperfusion System in Thrombectomy Procedures to Treat Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
Actual Study Start Date : October 1, 2021
Estimated Primary Completion Date : May 2023
Estimated Study Completion Date : September 2023

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Zoom Reperfusion System
The subject will undergo the endovascular thrombectomy procedure under general anesthesia or conscious sedation. The Imperative Care .088" Catheter will be used to gain access to the vasculature and direct aspiration of the clot will be attempted where feasible. The Zoom Reperfusion System must be the initial and primary device used to remove thrombus.
Device: Zoom Reperfusion System
Thrombectomy




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Primary Efficacy Endpoint [ Time Frame: Intraprocedural ]
    Rate of reperfusion success, defined as achieving mTICI score ≥ 2b flow with the Zoom Reperfusion System (primary treatment modality) without using additional thrombectomy devices or rescue therapy.

  2. Primary Safety Endpoint [ Time Frame: 24-hour post-procedure ]
    Rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), as confirmed by imaging


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time to achieve mTICI score ≥ 2b [ Time Frame: Intraprocedural ]
    The time from groin puncture to mTICI score ≥ 2b flow

  2. Rate of mTICI score 3 reperfusion [ Time Frame: Intraprocedural ]
    The proportion of patients achieving mTICI score 3 flow

  3. First pass success [ Time Frame: Intraprocedural ]
    The proportion of patients where the mTICI score ≥ 2b reperfusion was accomplished with the first pass

  4. Rate of mTICI score 2c reperfusion [ Time Frame: Intraprocedural ]
    The proportion of patients achieving mTICI score ≥ 2c flow

  5. Functional Independence [ Time Frame: 90 days post-procedure ]
    The proportion of patients achieving Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≤2 using the primary treatment modality

  6. Quality of Life Assessment [ Time Frame: 90 days post-procedure ]
    Measured by Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) Questionnaire

  7. Mortality [ Time Frame: 90 days post-procedure ]
    All-cause mortality

  8. Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) [ Time Frame: 24-hour post-procedure ]
    All ICH, as confirmed by imaging

  9. Embolization in new territory (ENT) [ Time Frame: Intraprocedural ]
    Emboli observed immediately after thrombectomy and in a previously unaffected territory

  10. Serious adverse device effects (SADEs) [ Time Frame: 90 days post-procedure ]
    All SADEs

  11. Serious adverse events [ Time Frame: 90 days post-procedure ]
    All serious adverse events

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age 18 and older
  2. NIHSS >=6

  4. Pre-event mRS scale 0-1
  5. Large vessel occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA), middle cerebral artery (MCA)-M1 or M2 segments, basilar, or vertebral arteries as evidenced by MRA or CTA
  6. For strokes in anterior circulation, ASPECTS >=6; For strokes in posterior circulation, pc-ASPECTS >=8
