Kaneka iED Coil for treating wide necked intracranial aneurysms

Cost Effectiveness, Safety, and Efficacy of the Kaneka IED Coil System for the Treatment of Wide Necked Ruptured and Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms

Not applicable Interventional Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai · NCT05636124

This study is testing a new coil treatment for wide necked brain aneurysms to see if it can safely help patients better than the usual methods while also being more cost-effective.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the Kaneka iED coil system for the treatment of both ruptured and unruptured wide necked intracranial aneurysms. It is a multi-center, prospective study involving 50 patients, focusing on the cost-effectiveness, safety, and efficacy of the therapy over an 18-month follow-up period. The Kaneka iED coil is designed to reduce the number of coils needed for effective embolization, potentially lowering treatment costs and minimizing complications associated with coil protrusion. The study aims to determine if this innovative approach can improve patient outcomes compared to traditional coiling methods.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18-80 with wide necked intracranial aneurysms suitable for endovascular treatment.

Not a fit: Patients with aneurysms not meeting the size or neck criteria, or those with severe comorbidities, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a safer and more cost-effective option for patients with wide necked intracranial aneurysms.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using innovative coiling techniques for aneurysm treatment, suggesting potential for success with this approach.

Eligibility criteria

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:

* Patient presenting with ruptured or unruptured cerebral aneurysm appropriate for endovascular treatment as determined by the neuroendovascular treating team
* Wide neck side wall or bifurcation intracranial aneurysms (neck \> or = to 4 mm or dome-to-neck ratio \< 2) within the anterior or posterior circulation
* The neurointerventionist feels that the aneurysm can be safely treated using endovascular techniques (direct or assisted coiling)
* Patients are 18-80 years of age (inclusive)
* Patient must be Hunt and Hess grade 0 to 3
* Patient has given fully informed consent to endovascular coiling procedure. If the patient cannot consent for themselves, appropriate written consent has been sought from their next of kin or appropriate power of attorney.
* Aneurysm 6-14 mm in diameter
* Patient is willing and able to return for clinical evaluation and follow-up imaging evaluation (angiography) at 3-6 months and 12-18 months after endovascular treatment
* The patient has not been previously enrolled in this trial or another related ongoing trial
* The aneurysm has not been previously treated by coiling or clipping

Exclusion criteria:

* Patient has more than one aneurysm requiring treatment in the current treatment session, and only one of those to be treated aneurysms fits the Kaneka inclusion criteria (i.e., - if either (1) a patient has multiple aneurysms, but only one will be treated at enrollment; or (2) if two or more aneurysms are treated during the current treatment session and BOTH are able to be enrolled, then they remain eligible for the trial). Non-treated additional aneurysms may be treated at a later date with any coil type that the operator chooses).
* Target aneurysm has had previous coil treatment or has been surgically clipped
* Hunt and Hess score is 4 or 5 after subarachnoid hemorrhage
* Inability to obtain informed consent
* Medical or surgical comorbidity such that the patient's life expectancy is less than 2 years
