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 18 to 99 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient with lower extremity claudication and Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) due to significant SFA stenosis (60%≤99%) or total occlusions (100%) that affects the quality of life despite medical therapy.
  • Evidence of significant SFA disease involving the most symptomatic limb by noninvasive vascular testing with the use of the following:
  • ABI: <0.9 (If ABI>1.4, SFA systolic acceleration time should be > 140 milliseconds);
  • TBI: <0.6;
  • Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA) confirming at least a 60% SFA stenosis; or
  • Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) confirming at least a 60% SFA stenosis
Show all 11Show fewer
  • At least one patent, non-treated below the knee vessel.
  • Male and female patients that are ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Subject has been advised of the beneficial effects of smoking cessation and regular exercise but must not be in the process of changing their smoking status at the time of screening. Patients may resume or increase exercising as an effect of post procedurally improved lower limb perfusion.
  • Peak Walking Time (PWT) limited only by claudication.
  • Willingness to participate in the study, documented by signed, written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Planned usage of atherectomy devices during procedure. The following devices are the only permitted devices that can be used for intervention procedures:
  • Conventional balloons
  • Zilver PTXTM stent
  • Planned amputation.
  • Any planned/scheduled revascularization procedures ≤ 30 days after baseline procedure.
  • Prior lower extremity revascularization ≤ 30 days before baseline procedure.
Show all 19Show fewer
  • The target lesion is an in-stent restenosis.
  • Infra-popliteal disease involving the last remaining vessel.
  • Patients with a creatinine clearance < 30mL/min.
  • Patients with known bleeding disorders.
  • Patients with known active pathological bleeding.
  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid, clopidogrel bisulfate, ticagrelor, Aspirin, or other antiplatelets/anticoagulants.
  • Patients with known history of intracranial hemorrhage at any time, GI bleed in the past 6 months, or major surgery within the past 30 days.
  • Patients with known ischemic stroke during the past 3 months.
  • Patients with known severe liver disease.
  • Patient with known history of congestive heart failure (CHF) with an LVEF of < 30%.
  • Patients considered being at risk of bradycardic events unless treated with a permanent pacemaker.
  • Female patients with known pregnancy, breast feeding, or intend to become pregnant during the study period (all female patients 55 years and younger, without a history of hysterectomy must have a pregnancy test prior to PPI at baseline and at 12 months).
  • Concern for inability of the patient to comply with study procedures and/or follow up (e.g., alcohol or drug abuse).

About this study

Official title: Drug Eluting Stent for the Management of PERipheraal Arterial Disease of the SFA (DESPERADO-SFA Study)

This is a prospective, nonrandomized, single-arm study using the Zilver PTXTM stent in patients with Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA) disease (total occlusions or significant stenosis).

Read the detailed description

Endovascular therapy is widely used for the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Primary nitinol stenting for superficial femoral artery (SFA)) lesions has been shown to be superior to balloon angioplasty alone. Zilver PTX a paclitaxel -eluting nitinol stent has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for femoro-popliteal artery use. Previous study have reported safety and effectiveness of the Zilver PTZ in patients with de novo or re-stenotic lesions of the femoro-popliteal artery.

Optical Coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel intravascular imaging modality with a unique and fine resolution of 10 µm at the level of a red blood cells providing detailed images of vascular wall following stent implantation for evaluation of optimal stent apposition and expansion as well as intraluminal clot.

20 patients with symptomatic critical limb ischemia (CLI) and claudication without CLI (Rutherford class 2-6) and identifiable SFA disease on angiogram requiring percutaneous peripheral intervention (PPI)will be enrolled in this study. We would like to study the vessel apposition and expansion immediately after initial implantation as well as evaluation of late stent malapposition and neointimal hyperplasia at the 12 months follow up after Zilver PTXTM stent implantation using intravascular OCT imaging. Follow up visits will take place at 1 month, 6 month, 12 month and 13 month after the procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Balloon Angioplasty and Optical Coherence Tomography in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Arkansas Heart Hospital at 1 site 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 11 inclusion and 19 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 26 Jun 2019. 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 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?

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?

Optimal Coherence Tomograpy (time frame: 12 Month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Jun 2019.
