Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to verify the efficacy and safety of the Intracranial Stent (Tonbridge) in endovascular treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.

Description:

This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial carried out in 14 centers throughout China. 156 subjects with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis will be treated with the Intracranial Stent (Tonbridge) for the expansion of vascular stenosis site. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the intracranial stent for endovascular treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.

• Preoperative MRI shows only perforator infarction in the target lesion
• Preoperative CT or MRI indicates the presence of post-infarct hemorrhagic transformation in the target vascular, or a history of subarachnoid, subdural, and epidural hemorrhage within 30 days before procedure, or the presence of untreated chronic subdural hematoma (=5mm)
• Severe calcification of target vessels; or target vessel tortuosity or other reasons will make experimental device difficult to reach the target lesion position
• There is more than 70% stenosis in the distal intracranial large vessels or proximal intracranial and extracranial large vessels of the target vessels, and the presence of unidentified responsible lesions
• Subjects have a major surgery within 30 days before procedure or intend to be hospitalized for other procedure within 6 months after procedure
• Intracranial tumors or intracranial arteriovenous malformations, or distal and proximal target vessels combined with aneurysms
• The target lesion has a history of stent implantation
• It is suspected that there is severe allergy or contraindication to aspirin, clopidogrel, heparin, contrast media, nitinol and other drugs and devices related to endovascular therapy
• There is an underlying source of cardiac thrombus, such as atrial fibrillation, left ventricular thrombus, myocardial infarction within 30 days
• Subjects with an INR > 1.5 or the presence of nonmodifiable bleeding factors
• Medically uncontrolled severe hypertension (systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 110 mmHg)
• Severe comorbid conditions or unstable conditions, such as severe heart failure, pulmonary failure, or renal failure (serum creatinine >3.0 mg/dL (264µmol/L)), severe liver insufficiency (ALT or AST >3 times normal), and malignancy
• Life expectancy is less than two years
• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Subjects unable to complete follow-up due to cognitive impairment, mood disorder, or mental illness
• Subjects who are enrolled in other clinical trials of drugs/devices and have not yet met the primary endpoint
• Other circumstances which investigators do not consider are appropriate for intracranial stent treatment

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Incidence of in-stent restenosis at 6 months	The in-stent restenosis is defined as more than 50% stenosis within stent or distal/proximal ends (within 5 mm), and more than 20% absolute lumen loss. The degree of intracranial artery stenosis are measured qualitatively in DSA examination. WASID study will be used to measure the degree of intracranial artery stenosis.	6 months post-procedure
Secondary	Device success rate and procedural success rate	Device success refers to the successful delivery of the stent to the lesion site through the delivery system during procedure, and it is released smoothly and fits well with the vessel wall without bending and displacement; procedural success is defined as stenosis degree less than 30% immediately after procedure.	Intraoperation
Secondary	Incidence of symptomatic in-stent restenosis at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years	Symptomatic in-stent restenosis is defined as ischemic stroke or TIA or other ischemic neurological symptoms which are caused by in-stent restenosis.	6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-procedure
Secondary	Ratio of mRS 0-2 at 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years	Subjects will be evaluated at the follow-up visits according to the mRS. The mRS 0-2 indicates a good prognosis.	30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-procedure
Secondary	Incidence of stent restenosis at 1 and 2 years	Restenosis is defined as more than 50% stenosis within stent or distal/proximal ends (within 5 mm), and more than 20% absolute lumen loss.	1 and 2 years post-procedure
Secondary	Incidence of any stroke and death within 30 days	Stroke includes both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Deaths from any cause are included in this data.	Within 30 days post-procedure
Secondary	Mortality at 31 days to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, and 12 to 24 months		31 days to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, and 12 to 24 months post-procedure

Secondary	Incidence of ischemic stroke in non-target vessel at 31 days to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, and 12 to 24 months		31 days to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, and 12 to 24 months post-procedure
Secondary	The incidence of any hemorrhagic stroke at 31 days to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, and 12 to 24 months		31 days to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, and 12 to 24 months post-procedure
Secondary	Incidence of device deficiency	Device deficiency is the unreasonable risk that may endanger human health or life safety in the normal use of medical devices during clinical trials, such as labeling errors, quality problems, malfunctions, etc. Possible device deficiency: labeling errors, product quality problems, design defects, broken sterilization packaging, etc.	After use of device to end of study
Secondary	Incidence of adverse events (AE) at 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years		Through 2 years post-procedure
Secondary	Incidence of serious adverse events (SAE) at 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years		Through 2 years post-procedure
