What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Primary Patency

    Primary stent patency, as determined by the core laboratory, was defined as PSV ratio < 2.0 at the stented target lesion as measured by duplex ultrasound at the 1-year follow-up visit (335-395 days post procedure) and no clinically-driven TLR within the stented segment within 1 year of the procedure.

    Measured: 1 Year

  2. Major Adverse Events

    Major Adverse Events (MAE) was defined as clinically-driven Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR), amputation of treated limb, or all-cause mortality, as adjudicated by the Clinical Events Commettee (CEC)

    Measured: 30 Days

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Single-Stent Primary Patency

    Primary stent patency in subjects with single-stent, as determined by the core laboratory, was defined as PSV ratio < 2.0 at the stented target lesion as measured by duplex ultrasound at the 1-year follow-up visit (335-395 days post procedure) and no clinically-driven TLR within the stented segment within 1 year of the procedure. Single stents were implanted in 272 subject.

    Measured: 1 Year

  2. Single-Stent Major Adverse Events

    MAE rate in subjects who received a single stent was defined as clinically-driven TLR, amputation of treated limb, or all-cause mortality that occurred within 30-days post-procedure, as adjudicated by the CEC. Single stents were implanted in 272 subjects.

    Measured: 30 Days

  3. Major Adverse Events

    MAE rate at 1 year was defined as clinically-driven TLR, amputation of treated limb, or all-cause mortality that occurs within 1 year post-procedure, as adjudicated by the CEC.

    Measured: 1 Year

  4. Stent Fracture Rate

    Stent integrity determined by x-ray at 1, 2 and 3 years post stent implantation.

    Measured: 1, 2 and 3 Years

  5. Number of Participants With Decline in Rutherford Clinical Category

    Defined as an increase of one or more categories in Rutherford Clinical classification compared to baseline. The symptomatic classification is a scale of 0-6, asymptomatic to major tissue loss.

    Measured: 30 days

  6. Improvement in Rutherford Clinical Category

    Improvement in Rutherford Clinical Category (RCC) was defined as an improvement in clinical status indicated by a decrease of one or more categories in RCC compared to baseline.

    Measured: 1 year

  7. Increase in Ankle-Brachial Index From Baseline to 1 Year

    Defined as an increase in ancle-brachial index (ABI) at 1 year compared to baseline in subjects with compressible arteries and baseline ABI < 0.9.

    Measured: 1 Year

  8. Assisted Primary Patency

    Assisted primary patency at 1 year was defined as PSV ratio < 2.0 as measured by binary duplex ultrasound maintained by repeated percutaneous intervention completed prior to complete vessel closure. Kaplan-Meier assisted primary patency was evaluated in all enrolled subjects.

    Measured: 1 Year

  9. Secondary Patency

    Secondary patency was defined as PSV ratio < 2.0 maintained by repeat percutaneous intervention after occlusion of the target lesion. Secondary patency was evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method in all enrolled subjects.

    Measured: 1 Year

  10. Absolute Claudication Distance Improvement

    Absolute claudication distance improvement at 1 year was defined as the increase in walking distance determined by a graded treadmill exercise test. Only assessed in subjects enrolled under study procol versions in which the endpoint was predefined.

    Measured: 1 Year

  11. Walking Improvement

    Walking improvement was defined as an increase in Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) score in subjects who did not have iliac disease treated at the time of the index procedure compared to baseline.

    Measured: 1 Year

  12. Duplex Ultrasound ≤ 2.4 Primary Patency

    Defined as a binary duplex ultrasound ratio ≤ 2.4 at the stented target lesion with no clinically-driven reintervention without the stented segment. Duplex Ultrasound ≤ 2.4 primary patency was evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method in all enrolled subjects.

    Measured: 1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PROTÉGÉ® EverFlex™ Self-Expanding Stent System in people with Peripheral Vascular Diseases and Claudication, run by Medtronic Endovascular.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Aug 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary Patency (time frame: 1 Year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00530712, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Feb 2019.
