In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Interventional therapy and Medical management for Arteriovenous Malformations, Cerebral. Completed, enrolled 226 participants across 66 sites in 14 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if medical management is better than invasive therapy for improving the long-term outcome of patients with unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations.

Interventions
All interventional procedures are standard of care for the treatment of AVMs. They are not experimental. A patient randomized to interventional therapy is expected to begin interventional therapy within 3 months following randomization. Interventional therapy consists of endovascular attempts at occlusion of the nidus and feeding vessels, coiling or microsurgery for feeding artery aneurysms, microsurgery for BAVM itself, and radiosurgery, these alone or in various combinations and timings.
Patients participating in the trial will receive the best medical management possible for the disorder being tested in the trial and for any general medical illnesses they are demonstrated to have. One important consideration in the medical management of patients in this trial is stroke risk factor reduction.
