(TGR 23-02TA)
What this study is about
An observational, forward-looking multi-regional post-market registry collecting mid- and long-term data to assess outcomes through ten years of follow-up for subjects treated with GORE® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with ACTIVE CONTROL System as a part of routine clinical practice.
View original scientific description
An observational, prospective multi-regional post-market registry collecting mid- and long-term data to assess outcomes through ten years of follow-up for subjects treated with GORE® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with ACTIVE CONTROL System as a part of routine clinical practice. This post-market registry for the GORE® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with ACTIVE CONTROL System (CTAG w/AC) is intended to demonstrate that thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for lesions of the descending thoracic aorta continues to be a suitable treatment option for appropriately selected patients.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Patient or legally authorized representative (LAR) provides written authorization and/or consent per institution and geographical requirements.
- Patient has been or is intended to be treated with an eligible registry device.\
- Patient is age ≥ 18 years at time of informed consent signature.
- The intent to treat a patient with a Gore product must be made prior to soliciting for possible registry participation. If pre-procedure consent is not feasible due to emergent situation, consent prior to the time of discharge for the index procedure is acceptable.
Exclusion criteria
- Patient who is, at the time of consent, unlikely to be available for standard of care (SOC) follow-up visits as defined by the site's guidelines and procedures.
- Patient with exclusion criteria required by local law.
- Patient is currently enrolled in or plans to enroll in any concurrent investigational drug and/or investigational device study\
- within 12 months of Together Registry enrollment. Subjects cannot be enrolled in another Together Registry module protocol.
- The term "study" does not apply to other observational registries or quality improvement projects. Collection of Registry Device performance from interventional studies may be permissible provided device application is not investigational and there are no novel requirements that alter follow-up conduct (i.e., protocol-mandated interventions).

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
