Key requirements

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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients affected by lower extremities artery disease (LEAD) and referred to the participating centres for the endovascular treatment of de novo or restenotic lesions (no in stent restenosis) in the superficial femoral and proximal popliteal arteries will be considered for the study

Who may be able to join

  • Documented ischemic, symptomatic arterial disease in the femoral-popliteal arteries according to Rutherford Category 2, 3 or 4;
  • Target lesion consists of a single solitary or multiple adjacent de novo or restenotic lesions (non-in-stent) with diameter stenosis ≥ 70% by visual estimate and cumulative lesion length ≥ 15 cm;
  • Target vessel is the superficial femoral artery and/or proximal popliteal artery (above the knee);
  • Life expectancy >1 year in the Investigator's opinion;
  • Written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Given the observational nature of the study, no study-specific but only clinical exclusion criteria will apply:
  • Patient unwilling or unlikely to comply with FU schedule;
  • Administration of local or systemic thrombolytic therapy within 48 hours prior to the index procedure;
  • Known allergies or sensitivities to heparin, aspirin, other anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapies, and/or paclitaxel;
  • Additional planned cardiac or peripheral percutaneous or surgical intervention including CABG within 30 days following the study procedure;
  • 15 cm long inflow lesion (≥50% DS) or occlusion (any length) in the ipsilateral Iliac artery;
  • Failure to successfully treat < 15 cm long inflow lesion in the ipsilateral Iliac artery

About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of the Drug Eluting Balloon (DEB) for the Treatment of the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) Ischemic Vascular Disease in Symptomatic Patients Presenting With Long Lesions: a Pilot Study

The primary purpose of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of the Drug Eluting Balloon (DEB) technology for the treatment of the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) ischemic obstructive vascular disease in patients presenting with long lesions. As secondary aim this study is going to explore treatment effect on a number of procedural and clinical endpoints in order to collect information to design a future comparative effectiveness study.

Read the detailed description

The study is aimed at collecting preliminary safety and efficacy data related to the use of Drug Eluting Balloon (DEB) technology for the treatment of symptomatic Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) ischemic vascular disease in patients presenting with long lesions.

The present clinical evaluation is intended as a prospective observational data collection of patient treatment in full accordance with institution standard practice and utilizing an approved (CE marked) DEB currently available on the market.

What is being measured

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

  1. rate of primary patency

    Primary patency is defined as freedom from the combined endpoints of clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (TLR) and >50% restenosis in the treated lesion. Clinically driven TLR is defined as any re-intervention within the target lesion due to symptoms or drop of ABI of ≥20% or >0.15 when compared to post-procedure. Restenosis > 50% is defined by a peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) > 2.4.

    Measured: within the first 12 months after percutaneous treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. composite of all Major Adverse Events (MAE)

    evaluate the incidence of the composite of all Major Adverse Events (MAE) through 24 months i.e. the first occurrence of any of the following: death from any cause, major target limb amputation, thrombosis at the target lesion site

    Measured: within the first 24 months after percutaneous treatment

  2. incidence of Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular event (MACCE)

    to assess the incidence of Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular event (MACCE) individual components through 24 months

    Measured: within the first 24 months after percutaneous treatment

  3. clinical improvement as assessed by Rutherford Class changes

    compare clinical improvement as assessed by Rutherford Class changes at 6, 12 and 24 months with respect to baseline

    Measured: within 6, 12 and 24 months vs baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Artery Disease, run by Ettore Sansavini Health Science Foundation at 6 sites in Italy.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 3 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Italy. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

rate of primary patency (time frame: within the first 12 months after percutaneous treatment). 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 NCT01658540, 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 3 Oct 2016.
