ELEVATE Trial Summary

This trial will test the safety and effectiveness of the Pipeline Flex Embolization Device with Shield Technology for treating people with aneurysms that have recently ruptured.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 22-80 with a specific type of untreated brain aneurysm that's unsuitable for surgery or coiling. Participants must have had a recent rupture rated Hunt and Hess Scale 1-3, without serious comorbidities, allergies to device materials, or conditions preventing study procedures and follow-ups.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The Pipeline™ Flex Embolization Device with Shield Technology™ is being tested for safety and effectiveness in treating acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysms. The study aims to see if this device can be a viable treatment option.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial description does not specify side effects, similar devices may cause reactions at the implant site, bleeding complications, or issues related to the metal components in individuals with sensitivities.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Incidence of complete angiographic occlusion without significant stenosis, and no rebleeding or retreatment of the target aneurysm
Incidence of neurological death or disabling stroke post-procedure.
Secondary outcome measures
Good clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2)
Incidence of any ipsilateral stroke post-procedure after 30 days
Incidence of complete angiographic occlusion without significant stenosis (≤ 50%), and no rebleeding or retreatment of the target aneurysm
