Study Summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to treat patients with small to mid-sized abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), maximum diameter of 3.5 cm to 5.0 cm, using a locally delivered, single-dose endovascular treatment. The main question the study aims to answer is to demonstrate efficacy of the product for stabilization of these small to mid-sized AAA.The study will compare the treatment group to the typical standard of care for these patients, surveillance. All subjects will be followed at designated intervals at 30/60 days, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months with continued follow-up annually for up to 5 years.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Males and females ≥21 to ≤85 years of age. Females must be of non-childbearingpotential (menopause or sterilization).

  2. Subject understands the purpose of the trial, agrees to voluntarily participate inthe trial, signs the informed consent and is willing to complete the follow-upaccording to the requirements of the protocol.

  3. Infrarenal atherosclerotic fusiform abdominal aortic aneurysm from 3.5 cm to 5.0 cm (male) and 3.5 cm to 4.5 cm (female).

  4. Infrarenal aortic neck ≥ 15 mm in length and ≤ 29 mm in diameter.

  5. Overall AAA treatment length (distal renal to distal inferior margin of theaneurysm) not to exceed 130 mm.

  6. Iliac and femoral artery access, vessel size and morphology allow endovascularaccess of 14F (or larger) introducer sheaths and catheters.

  7. Subject meets American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) grade 1 through 3 criteria,inclusive.

  8. Subject has > three-year life expectancy.

  9. Subject is able and willing to comply with all required follow-up clinic visitsincluding CT scans (pre-randomization, 6, 12, 18, 24 months and annually up to 5years) and blood draws.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject has an acutely ruptured, leaking, dissecting or emergent aneurysm.

  2. Subject has a symptomatic infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.

  3. Subject has a mycotic or infected aneurysm.

  4. Subject has current vascular injury due to trauma.

  5. Subject's aneurysm is thoracic, suprarenal or juxtarenal.

  6. Previous surgical or endovascular aneurysm repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm.

  7. Subject has anatomy of diffuse, ulcerated, or extensive (shaggy) thrombus in theneck of the AAA, that in the opinion of the vascular surgeon/investigator, couldresult in embolization of the thrombus.

  8. Subject has anatomy of calcification, and/or plaque within the ilio-femoral arteriesor severe infrarenal neck angulation that may compromise or does not allow deliveryof the Introducer Sheath or the delivery catheter of the Nectero EAST System.

  9. Subject has had a myocardial infarction within six (6) months prior to enrollment orelevated CK enzymes or troponin indicative of an evolving MI prior to procedure.

  10. Subject has current angina, unstable angina, or other active cardiac condition suchas congestive heart failure III and IV, atrial arrhythmia, ventricular arrhythmia,or valvular disease, requiring intervention.

  11. Subject has undergone other major surgery within the 30 days prior to enrollment.

  12. Subjects with any transient ischemic attack (TIA) or ischemic stroke within 3months.

  13. Known allergy to contrast material that cannot be adequately premedicated, deliverysystem materials (i.e., nylon, polyurethane) and/or pentagalloylglucose (PGG).

  14. Subject is morbidly obese or has other clinical conditions that severely inhibitX-ray visualization of the aorta.

  15. Subject has connective tissue/collagen disorder (e.g., Marfan syndrome, vascularEhlers-Danlos Syndrome, Loeys-Dietz Syndrome, Eaton Syndrome, Bessel-Hagen disease,etc.).

  16. Known contraindication to undergoing angiography or receiving systemicanticoagulation during the procedure.

  17. Subject has active systemic infection.

  18. Subject is participating in another research trial that could interfere with theresults of the trial (e.g., drug trial).

  19. Subject has other medical, social, or psychological problems that, in the opinion ofthe investigator, preclude them from participation in the trial and to undergo theprocedures and evaluations pre- and post-treatment.

  20. Subject has dialysis dependent renal failure or baseline serum creatinine level >2.5mg/dL or eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.73m2.

  21. Subjects with aminotransferase (ALT and/or AST) which is ≥1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN) or TB that is our of normal range for the evaluating laboratory.

  22. Subjects that may not tolerate the lowering of their systolic blood pressure toapproximately 100mmHg, should not be considered for this study or treated using theNectero EAST System.

  23. Subjects that may not be able to tolerate transient occlusion of the aorta shouldnot be considered for this study.

  24. Subjects with saccular AAA.

  25. Subjects with rapidly expanding AAA (previous diameter increases of ≥0.5 cm in 6-months or ≥1 cm in 1 year) as these should be evaluated for immediate repair.

  26. Subjects who are not suitable for the Nectero EAST System treatment, as determinedby the investigator.

  27. Subjects with INR out of normal range for the evaluating laboratory for a subjectnot on anti-coagulant therapy; or INR >3 for a subject on anti-coagulant therapy.

  28. Subjects with active/acute or a history of unstable chronic liver disease or currentliver disease including but not limited to liver transplant, known genetic disorderssuch as Gilbert syndrome or other liver diseases.

  29. Subjects with cirrhosis (e.g., known history or new clinical diagnosis byelastography with a fibrosis score of F3 or F4 and/or steatosis grade of S3).

  30. Subjects with uncontrolled alcohol use disorder or current alcohol use putting themat risk of liver disease: including consumption of above one standard drink per dayfor women and two standard drinks per day for men.

  31. Subjects with known right-sided heart failure or pathologically dilated inferiorvena cava or hepatic veins indicative of congestive hepatopathy.
