About this study

Official title: TANGO: Temsirolimus Adventitial Delivery to Improve ANGiographic Outcomes Below the Knee

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, dose escalation study to document the effects of adventitial delivery of temsirolimus (Torisel) after revascularization of lesions below the knee in symptomatic patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI).

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, dose escalation study to document the effects of adventitial delivery of temsirolimus (Torisel) after revascularization of lesions below the knee in symptomatic patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Up to 60 patients (20 low-dose, 20 high-dose and 20 control) at up to 15 sites in the United States. This study will assess the safety and effectiveness of Bullfrog Micro-Infusion Device adventitial deposition of temsirolimus in reducing intimal hyperplasia, inflammatory markers and composite safety endpoints in patients with clinical evidence of chronic critical limb ischemia after revascularization of one or more angiographically significant lesion(s) in below-knee popliteal or tibial vessels.

Being tested
Temsirolimus, Saline

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TemsirolimusDrug

    Also called Torisel

    After completion of revascularization therapy and any decision to place stents, patients will be qualified for final enrollment in the study and will be treated with the investigational drug or saline. Investigators will be blinded to assignment.

  • SalineDrug

    After completion of revascularization therapy and any decision to place stents, patients will be qualified for final enrollment in the study and will be treated with the investigational drug or saline. Investigators will be blinded to assignment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Temsirolimus and Saline in people with Chronic Limb Ischemia, run by Mercator MedSystems, Inc. at 8 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 10 inclusion and 22 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Freedom from MALE-POD (time frame: Up to 30 days post-procedure). 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?
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 11 Jun 2020.
