Trial summary

Endovascular treatment of the superficial femoral artery has a high initial success rate, but restenosis occurs in up to 60% of cases. While restoration of tissue perfusion is achieved, interventional strategies affect endothelial function. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Local and Systemic Vascular Function Following Drug Coated Balloon vs. Stenting in the Superficial Femoral Artery

Endovascular treatment of the superficial femoral artery has a high initial success rate, but restenosis occurs in up to 60% of cases. While restoration of tissue perfusion is achieved, interventional strategies affect endothelial function. Endothelial dysfunction is the pathophysiologic principle involved in the initiation and progression of arteriosclerosis.

The aim of this study is to determine the impact of endovascular strategies in the superficial femoral artery on local and systemic endothelial and vascular function.

Being tested
Angioplasty and drug coated balloon of the superficial femoral artery (SFA), Angioplasty and stenting of the superficial femoral artery (SFA)
Medical subject headings
Peripheral Arterial Disease, Intermittent Claudication

What participants receive

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

  • Angioplasty and drug coated balloon of the superficial femoral artery (SFA)Procedure or surgery

    In case of drug coated balloon (DCB) there should be always a predilation of the lesion with a predefined ballon (180 sec, Passeo-18). Thus, no direct DCB will be conducted. All DCB lengths (40mm to 200 mm) and Diameters (3mm to 7mm) are eligible for the Trial as long as used in the superficial femoral artery (SFA)

  • Angioplasty and stenting of the superficial femoral artery (SFA)Procedure or surgery

    In case of stent application there should be always a predilation of the lesion with a predefined ballon (180 sec, Passeo-18). In case of stenting there should be a strong effect on vasomotion of the treated vessel area. All Stent lengths (40mm to 200 mm) and Diameters (5mm to 7mm) are eligible for the trial as long as used in the superficial femoral artery (SFA)

What is being measured

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

  1. local endothelial function

    Change of endothelial function, assessed by the change in the vasodilatative reserve of the femoral artery (flow-mediated dilation = FMD)

    Measured: 6 months Follow Up

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Systemic endothelial function

    1.Change of endothelial function, assessed by the change in the vasodilatative reserve of the brachial artery (flow-mediated dilation = FMD)

    Measured: 6 months Follow Up

  2. Vessel stiffness

    Vascular stiffness determined through pulse wave velocity (PWV)

    Measured: 6 months Follow Up

  3. Primary patency

    determined through doppler ultrasound

    Measured: 6 months Follow Up

  4. target lesion revascularization

    freedom from Target Lesion Revascularization (FTLR) is defined as the Need for percutaneous or interventional revascularization

    Measured: 6 months Follow Up

  5. ABI (Ankle Brachial Index)

    Ankle Brachial Index assessed by Doppler

    Measured: 6 months Follow Up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Angioplasty and drug coated balloon of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and Angioplasty and stenting of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease and Claudication, Intermittent, run by University Hospital, Essen 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?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 12 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 22 Jan 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Christos Rammos, MD (020172384808, Christos.Rammos@uk-essen.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

local endothelial function (time frame: 6 months Follow Up). 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 22 Jan 2019.
