Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years and of age of legal consent.
  • Women of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the index procedure.
  • Subject has lifestyle limiting claudication or rest pain (Rutherford-Becker scale 2-4) with a resting ankle-brachial index (ABI) less than or equal to 0.9. TBI (toe-brachial index) is performed only unable to assess ABI. TBI must be less than or equal to 0.7.
  • A single superficial femoral artery lesion with greater than 60% stenosis or total occlusion.
  • Stenotic lesion(s) or occluded length within the same vessel (one long or multiple serial lesions) greater than or equal to 40 mm to less than or equal to 140 mm. Reference vessel diameter (RVD) greater than or equal to 4.0 mm and less than or equal to 6.0 mm by visual assessment.
  • All lesions are to be located with the distal point at least 3 cm above the knee joint, defined as the distal end of the femur at the knee joint, and proximal point at least 2 cm below the origin of the profunda artery.
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Patent infrapopliteal and popliteal artery, i.e., single vessel runoff or better with at least one of three vessels patent (less than 50% stenosis) to the ankle or foot.
  • The target lesion(s) can be successfully crossed with a guide wire and dilated.
  • Poor aortoiliac or common femoral "inflow" (i.e., angiographically defined greater than 50% stenosis of the iliac or common femoral artery) that would be deemed inadequate to support a femoropopliteal bypass graft must be successfully treated prior to treatment of the target lesion. This can be done just prior to treatment of the target lesion. Successful treatment is defined as less than 30% stenosis after either PTA or stenting of the inflow lesion. After treatment of the inflow lesion, the pressure gradient across the target lesion will be obtained and if the pressure gradient is greater than or equal to 20 mmHg, then the subject will be included in the study.
  • A subject with bilateral obstructive SFA disease is eligible for enrollment into the study. If a subject with bilateral disease is enrolled, the target limb will be selected at the Investigator's discretion, who may use the criteria of lesion length, percent stenosis, and/or calcification content. The contra-lateral procedure should not be done until at least 30 days after the index procedure (staged); however, if contralateral treatment is performed prior to treatment of the target lesion, the waiting period will be at least 14 days prior to the index procedure.
  • The subject is eligible for standard surgical repair, if necessary.
  • A subject who requires a coronary intervention should have it performed at least 7 days prior to the treatment of the target lesion.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of the SUpera® PERipheral System to a Performance Goal Derived From Balloon Angioplasty Clinical Trials in the Superficial Femoral Artery

This is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single arm, pivotal trial.

The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the IDev SUPERA® Nitinol Stent System in treating subjects with obstructive superficial femoral artery (SFA) disease. The primary endpoint will be the primary patency of the SFA evaluated at 12 months. The outcome will be compared to a performance goal based on clinical trials of percutaneous transvenous angioplasty (PTA) alone.

Multiple groups have suggested minimum clinically important changes in SF-12 summary scores to be greater than 2-2.5 points, and moderate changes to be greater than 5 points.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SUPERA® Nitinol Stent System in people with Peripheral Vascular Disease, run by Abbott Medical Devices at 49 sites in United States.

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 14 inclusion and 28 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 30 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 49 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 25 Mar 2015). 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 Safety Endpoint: Freedom From Death, Target Lesion Revascularization (TLR), or Any Amputation of the Index Limb to 30 (±7) Days. (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT00933270, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 30 May 2017.
