What is being measured

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

  1. Primary efficacy endpoint - non-CLI group

    Freedom from clinically-driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) within 12 months after index procedure, which is defined as any re-intervention within the target lesion(s) due to recurrent clinical symptoms of PAD (increase of one Rutherford class or more) and/or drop of ankle-brachial index (≥20% or >0.15 when compared with maximum early post-procedural level).

    Measured: 12 Months

  2. Primary efficacy endpoint -CLI group

    Freedom from clinically-driven TLR within 6 months after index procedure, which is defined as any re-intervention within the target lesion(s) due to delayed or worsening wound healing, new or recurrent wound, or worsening Rutherford class.

    Measured: 6 Months

  3. Primary safety endpoint- non-CLI group

    A composite of freedom from major adverse limb events and perioperative death (MALE-POD) through 30 days after index procedure. A major adverse limb event is defined as above-ankle amputation or major reintervention (ie, new bypass graft, major surgical graft revision such as a jump graft or an interposition graft, or thrombectomy/thrombolysis) of the treated limb.

    Measured: 30 days

  4. Primary safety endpoint- CLI group

    A composite of freedom from device- and procedure-related mortality, freedom from major target limb amputation and TLR within 12 months post-index procedure

    Measured: 12 Months

    Measured: Post procedure

  9. Rate of Procedural success

    Procedural success defined as technical success without procedural complications (death, major target limb amputation, thrombosis of the target lesion, or CD-TLR) prior to discharge

    Measured: Post procedure

  10. Change in Rutherford clinical category (target limb)

    Measured: 6 months,12 months,24 months, 36months,48 months,60 months

  12. Rate of secondary sustained clinical improvement

    Secondary sustained clinical improvement, defined as improvement in Rutherford classification by one or more categories compared with baseline, including patients with TLR

  15. Rate of Wound healing - CLI group

    healed or not; if not, improving, stagnant,worsening

  16. New or recurrent wound of the target limb - CLI group

    New or recurrent wound of the target limb

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Artery Disease, run by Acotec Scientific Co., Ltd at 7 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 6 inclusion and 10 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Schmidt Andrej (+49-341-97 ext. 18770, Andrej.Schmidt@medizin.uni-leipzig.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary efficacy endpoint - non-CLI group (time frame: 12 Months). The study lists 4 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 1 Aug 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
