About this study
Official title: Randomized Trial of IN.PACT Admiral(TM) Drug Coated Balloon vs Standard PTA for the Treatment of SFA and Proximal Popliteal Arterial Disease
The objective of this Study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the IN.PACT Admiral® drug coated PTA balloon, utilized for the dilatation of the narrowed sections of the artery, as compared to other standard (non drug coated) PTA balloons. The IN.PACT Admiral, besides the mechanical dilatation effect typical of all PTA balloons, releases a drug (paclitaxel) from the balloon surface into the vessel walls. This drug absorption is intended to limit the chances and the entity of artery re-narrowing over time.
Read the detailed description
The efficacy of the IN.PACT Admiral balloon will be evaluated by assessing the primary patency rate of the treated arteries in the thighs of all patients included in the Study. Primary patency is a measure of the durability up to 1 year of the free lumen in the artery as restored during the procedure and is based on:
- the need for re-dilatation of the previously treated vessel segment
- an ultrasound examination The safety of the IN.PACT Admiral will be assessed by evaluating the incidence of deaths, amputations and re-dilatation of the pre-treated arteries in all patients included in the Study.
The IN.PACT SFA Trial enrolled in 2 phases: IN.PACT SFA I and IN.PACT SFA II. The 150-patient IN.PACT SFA I phase is intended to support the second phase IN.PACT SFA II IDE trial with congruent design and protocol. Aggregate data from the two phases is intended to provide statistical power for the 12-month primary safety and effectiveness endpoints.

Change From Baseline in Quality of Life Assessment by EuroQol Group 5-Dimension Self Report Questionnaire (EQ5D) at Month 12
Quality of life assessment by EQ5D at 1 year compared to baseline. EQ5D is a standardised measure of health status and economic appraisal. The EQ5D consists of the EQ5D descriptive system which comprises the following variables for the 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: (1) no problems, (2) some problems, (3) extreme problems. A complex algorithm that took individual dimensions and generated an overall score was used.
EQ5D health state is used in the algorithm to calculate an overall score where - 0.109 = 'worst possible outcome' and 1.000 = 'best possible outcome'.
Measured: Baseline to 12 month
Change From Baseline in Walking Capacity Assessment by Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) at 12 Months
Walking capacity assessment by WIQ at 1 year compared to baseline. WIQ is a quality of life questionnaire that was specifically designed to assess the degree of impairment experienced by patients with claudication.
Clinical outcomes were assessed by patients responses to question 1A. Question 1A is specific for calf or buttocks claudication and is used to create a summary score for analysis. Question 1A is expressed on a scale of 0% (unable to perform because of severe claudication) to 100% (no impairment).
Measured: 12 month
Device Success
Device success is defined as successful delivery, balloon inflation and deflation and retrieval of the intact study device without burst below rated burst pressure (RBP).
Measured: Day 1
Procedural Success
Procedural success is defined as obtainment of ≤30% residual stenosis by visual estimate (with or without stenting)
Measured: Day 1
Clinical Success
Clinical success is defined as procedural success without procedural complications (death, stroke, major target limb amputation, thrombosis of the target lesion, or target vessel revascularization (TVR)) prior to discharge.
Measured: Day 1
Days of Hospitalization Due to the Index Lesion
Days of hospitalization from procedure through 12 month.
Measured: 12 month

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The objective of this Study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the IN.PACT Admiral® drug coated PTA balloon, utilized for the dilatation of the narrowed sections of the artery, as compared to other standard (non drug coated) PTA balloons. The IN.PACT Admiral, besides the mechanical dilatation effect typical of all PTA balloons, releases a drug (paclitaxel) from the balloon surface into the vessel walls. This drug absorption is intended to limit the chances and the entity of artery re-narrowing over time.
Detailed description
The efficacy of the IN.PACT Admiral balloon will be evaluated by assessing the primary patency rate of the treated arteries in the thighs of all patients included in the Study. Primary patency is a measure of the durability up to 1 year of the free lumen in the artery as restored during the procedure and is based on:
- the need for re-dilatation of the previously treated vessel segment
- an ultrasound examination The safety of the IN.PACT Admiral will be assessed by evaluating the incidence of deaths, amputations and re-dilatation of the pre-treated arteries in all patients included in the Study.
The IN.PACT SFA Trial enrolled in 2 phases: IN.PACT SFA I and IN.PACT SFA II. The 150-patient IN.PACT SFA I phase is intended to support the second phase IN.PACT SFA II IDE trial with congruent design and protocol. Aggregate data from the two phases is intended to provide statistical power for the 12-month primary safety and effectiveness endpoints.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) and PTA Balloon: Balloon Angioplasty in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), run by Medtronic Endovascular at 1 site in Germany.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
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 16 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 1 site in Germany. 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 6 Oct 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 Patency (time frame: 12 Month). 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 NCT01175850, which also lists 7 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 16 May 2017.
