About this study

Official title: A Prospective Observational Study Using Elutax-SV Drug-eluting Balloons for Below-the-knee Treatment

The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the outcomes and safety of the Paclitaxel-eluted balloon catheter ELUTAX SV for treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in below-the-knee vessels

Read the detailed description

The management of critical limb ischemia due to below-the-knee disease remains challenging due to the frequent patient comorbidities, diffuse vascular involvement, limb preservation, and high rates of restenosis and disease progression. This study will record the use of ELUTAX SV-DEB under real life conditions in a representative sample.The investigators will generate new data in observing the outcome and the safety of the Elutax SV drug-eluting balloons for change in Rutherford clinical category from baseline to 6 and 12 month follow-up visits.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Critical Limb Ischemia and Peripheral Artery Disease, run by Jena University Hospital at 10 sites in Germany.

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 9 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 10 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites 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?

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?

Change of Rutherford Classification (time frame: after 6 and 12 month). 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 NCT02539940, 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 10 Mar 2020.
