Brief summary

The ORION study is being conducted to determine whether the Epic™ Nitinol Stent for primary stenting of iliac atherosclerotic lesions shows acceptable performance at 9 months.

Detailed description

ORION is a prospective, single arm, non-randomized, multicenter study. A subject could receive a maximum of 2 study stents for up to 2 target lesions. A maximum of 1 non-target lesion in 1 non-target vessel could be treated with a commercially approved treatment during the index procedure.

Interventions

DEVICEEpic™ Nitinol Stent System

The Epic™ Nitinol Stent System is comprised of two components: the implantable nitinol endoprosthesis and the stent delivery system.

Investigators must prescribe concomitant anti-platelet medication consistent with current clinical practice. Anti-platelet therapy should be administered preprocedure and continued throughout participation in the trial.

DRUGAnti-coagulation therapy

Anti-coagulation therapy must be administered during the procedure consistent with current clinical practice.

Device- and/or Procedure-related Major Adverse Events (MAE)9 MonthsMAE is defined as any device-related or index procedure-related death within 30 days, myocardial infarction during index hospitalization, target vessel revascularization through 9 months, or amputation of the index limb through 9 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Death30 DaysDeath is classified as follows. Cardiac death: death due to immediate cardiac cause, death of unknown cause is classified as cardiac death, including all procedure related deaths including those related to concomitant treatment; Vascular death: death due to cerebrovascular disease, pulmonary embolism, ruptured aortic aneurysm, dissecting aneurysm, or other vascular cause; Non-cardiovascular death: any death not covered by the above definitions
Amputation of Index Limb9 MonthsMajor amputation: amputation of the lower limb at the ankle level or above Minor amputation: amputation of forefoot or toes
Target Vessel Revascularization (TVR)30 DaysTarget vessel revascularization (TVR) is defined as any surgical or percutaneous intervention to the target vessel(s) after the index procedure. A TVR is considered ischemia-driven if the culprit lesion stenosis is ≥50% by quantitative angiography and the subject has ischemic symptoms. A TVR is considered ischemia-driven if the culprit lesion diameter stenosis is ≥70% even in the absence of clinical or functional ischemia.
Myocardial Infarction (MI)Index hospitalizationDefinition of myocardial infarction: New Q-waves in ≥2 leads lasting ≥0.04 sec with creatine kinase- myoglobin band (CK-MB)/troponin above upper limit of normal (ULN); if no new Q-waves elevation of post-procedure CK levels \>2.0× ULN with positive CK-MB, or, if the assay for CK-MB was not performed, elevation of CK levels \>2.0× ULN with positive troponin. Drawing a CK-MB or troponin is mandated if CK is greater than 2× ULN. If no CK-MB or troponin was drawn, CK \>2× ULN will be considered an MI. ULN is determined per local laboratory specifications.

Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR)30 DaysTarget lesion revascularization (TLR) is any surgical or percutaneous intervention to the target lesion(s) after the index procedure. A TLR will be considered ischemia-driven if the target lesion diameter stenosis is ≥50% by quantitative angiography and the subject has ischemic symptoms. A TLR will be considered ischemia-driven if the lesion diameter stenosis is ≥70% even in the absence of clinical or functional ischemia.
Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)Pre-procedure/baselineRatio between the systolic pressure measured at the ankle and the systolic pressure measured in the arm as follows: Ankle: The systolic pressure will be measured in the index limb at the arteria dorsalis pedis and/or the arteria tibialis posterior. If both pressures are measured, the highest pressures will be used for the ABI calculation. Brachial: The systolic pressure will be measured in both arms, and the highest of both pressures will be used for the ABI calculation.
Ankle-Brachial IndexHospital Discharge (1-2 days post-procedure)Ratio between the systolic pressure measured at the ankle and the systolic pressure measured in the arm as follows: Ankle: The systolic pressure will be measured in the index limb at the arteria dorsalis pedis and/or the arteria tibialis posterior. If both pressures are measured, the highest pressures will be used for the ABI calculation. Brachial: The systolic pressure will be measured in both arms, and the highest of both pressures will be used for the ABI calculation.
Primary Patency9 MonthsSystolic velocity ratio (SVR) is the ratio of the measurement of systolic velocity in 2 arterial regions as determined by duplex ultrasound (DUS). Primary patency (defined per lesion) is defined as DUS SVR ≤2.5 with no target lesion revascularization, bypass of the target lesion, or amputation.
Primary-assisted Patency (PAP)9 MonthsSystolic velocity ratio (SVR) is the ratio of the measurement of systolic velocity in 2 arterial regions as determined by duplex ultrasound (DUS). Primary-assisted patency (defined per lesion) is defined as DUS SVR ≤2.5 with no target lesion revascularization for total occlusion, bypass of the target lesion, or amputation. In 1 subject, SVR was invalid and DUS proximal peak systolic velocity was analyzed to assess restenosis.
Secondary Patency9 MonthsSystolic velocity ratio (SVR) is the ratio of the measurement of systolic velocity in 2 arterial regions as determined by duplex ultrasound (DUS). Secondary patency (defined per lesion) is defined as having DUS SVR ≤2.5 in the absence of bypass of the target lesion or amputation. In 1 subject, SVR was invalid and proximal peak systolic velocity was analyzed to assess restenosis.
Restenosis Assessed by Duplex Ultrasound9 MonthsSystolic velocity ratio (SVR) is the ratio of the measurement of systolic velocity in 2 arterial regions as determined by duplex ultrasound (DUS). Restenosis (defined per lesion)is defined as DUS SVR \>2.5 or the presence of a target lesion revascularization prior to the DUS examination, regardless of the SVR value. In 1 subject, SVR was invalid and proximal peak systolic velocity by DUS was analyzed to assess restenosis.

Device- and/or Procedure-related Major Adverse Events (MAE)

MAE is defined as any device-related or index procedure-related death within 30 days, myocardial infarction during index hospitalization, target vessel revascularization through 9 months, or amputation of the index limb through 9 months

Time frame: 9 Months

Population: Analysis was intention to treat; all participants in the study were to undergo clinical follow up to provide the information needed for this endpoint; 7 participants were not evaluable.

ArmMeasureValue (NUMBER)
Epic StentDevice- and/or Procedure-related Major Adverse Events (MAE)3.4 percentage of participants
Comparison: MAE rate was compared to a predefined performance goal of 17.0%, based on literature-derived expected rate of 8.0% for iliac stenting plus a 9.0% margin. Study had 87% statistical power to show the MAE rate (accounting for 9-month attrition of \<=15%) is less than the performance goal, assuming a 9-month MAE rate of 8.0%. If the exact one-sided 95% upper confidence bound of the observed rate is lower than the performance goal, the Epic stent would be considered to have acceptable performance.p-value: <0.000195% CI: [0.9, 8.5]One-sided exact-test
