What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS)Device
Treatment with Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) followed by Percutaneous Old Balloon Angioplasty (POBA), pre-dilation and Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) - Medtronic IN.PACT™ Admiral™
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) | Experimental | Treatment with Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (CSI) Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) followed by Percutaneous Old Balloon Angioplasty (POBA) pre-dilation and Medtronic IN.PACT™ Admiral™ Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) Receives: Device: Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Subjects With Acute Device Success
The percentage of subjects with the following, post-procedure:
- ≤50% residual stenosis post OAD + POBA [Angiographic Core Lab assessed] and,
- No OAS-related severe angiographic complications defined as severe dissections (D-F), perforation, or distal emboli requiring additional treatment during the procedure [CEC adjudicated].
Measured: At the end of the procedure
Secondary outcomes (10)
Change in Lesion Stenosis
The percentage changes in diameter stenosis of the target lesion at each stage of the procedure: Baseline, Post OAD, Post POBA and Post DCB [Angiographic Core Lab assessed].
Measured: Baseline, Post OAD, Post POBA
Acute Technical Success
Acute technical success defined per the Peripheral Academic Research Consortium (PARC) definition of achievement of a final residual stenosis <30% for stented and <50% for non-stented subjects by angiography at the end of the procedure [Angiographic Core Lab assessed] without severe angiographic complications defined as severe dissections (D-F), perforation, or distal emboli requiring additional treatment during the procedure [CEC adjudicated].
Measured: At the end of the procedure
Drug Coated Balloon (DCB) Device Success
DCB Device Success defined as the ability to achieve successful delivery and deployment of all DCB to the target lesion as described per the Instructions for Use (IFU) within 3 minutes of insertion without removal and use of an additional device.
Measured: Within 3 minutes of insertion of DCB
Target Vessel Patency
Target Vessel Patency is a binary composite endpoint comprised of:
- CEC adjudicated absence of clinically driven repeat procedure performed for ≥50% stenosis confirmed by angiography within all or part of the target lesion after documentation of recurrent clinical symptoms of PAD following clinical trial treatment procedure (i.e. clinically-driven TLR) occurring at any time-point on, or prior to the 6-month visit date and,
- a Duplex Ultrasound Core Lab assessed PSVR value of ≤2.4 (or equivalent by visual assessment if the lesion is non-patent and the PSVR cannot be numerically calculated).
The vessel is considered patent if both criteria are met at the time of assessment.
Measured: Up to 6 months
Rate of Severe Angiographic Complications
Rate of severe angiographic complications defined as severe dissections (D-F), perforation, or distal emboli requiring additional treatment during the procedure [CEC adjudicated]
Measured: At the end of the procedure
Acute Procedural Success
Acute procedural success is defined as both acute technical success and absence of death, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), acute onset of limb ischemia, index bypass graft or treated segment thrombosis, and/or need for urgent/emergent vascular surgery within 72 hours of the clinical trial treatment [CEC adjudicated].
Measured: 72 hours after index procedure
Rate of Major Adverse Event (MAE)
Major Adverse Event (MAE) rate at 30 days and 6 months (CEC adjudicated) was defined as:
- All-cause death through 30 days or
- Major amputation of the target limb or
- Clinically-driven TLR
Measured: 30 days and 6 months
Change of Rutherford Classification (ITT Population)
Rutherford Classification; Class 0: Asymptomatic; no hemodynamically significant occlusive disease.
Class 1: Mild Claudication; there is no limitation with ordinary physical activities (e.g., walking several blocks, climbing stairs). Limiting symptoms may occur with marked exertion (e.g., strenuous, rapid or prolonged exertion at work or recreation).
Class 2: Moderate Claudication; there is a slight limitation of ordinary physical activities (e.g., walking uphill, or more than two level blocks, or climbing stairs rapidly). Subject is comfortable at rest.
Class 3: Severe Claudication; there is marked limitation of ordinary physical activities (e.g., walking 1-2 level blocks or climbing one flight of stairs). Subject is comfortable at rest.
Class 4: Ischemic rest pain. Class 5: Minor tissue loss, non-healing ulcer, focal gangrene with diffuse pedal ischemia.
Class 6: Major tissue loss extending above transmetatarsal level; functional foot no longer salvageable.
Measured: Baseline, 30 days and 6 months
Change of Rutherford Classification (mITT Population)
Rutherford Classification; Class 0: Asymptomatic; no hemodynamically significant occlusive disease.
Class 1: Mild Claudication; there is no limitation with ordinary physical activities (e.g., walking several blocks, climbing stairs). Limiting symptoms may occur with marked exertion (e.g., strenuous, rapid or prolonged exertion at work or recreation).
Class 2: Moderate Claudication; there is a slight limitation of ordinary physical activities (e.g., walking uphill, or more than two level blocks, or climbing stairs rapidly). Subject is comfortable at rest.
Class 3: Severe Claudication; there is marked limitation of ordinary physical activities (e.g., walking 1-2 level blocks or climbing one flight of stairs). Subject is comfortable at rest.
Class 4: Ischemic rest pain. Class 5: Minor tissue loss, non-healing ulcer, focal gangrene with diffuse pedal ischemia.
Class 6: Major tissue loss extending above transmetatarsal level; functional foot no longer salvageable.
Measured: Baseline, 30 days and 6 months
Change in Ankle Brachial Index (ABI)
The Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is a simple, non-invasive test used to assess peripheral artery disease (PAD). It compares the blood pressure measured at the ankle with the blood pressure measured at the arm (brachial artery).
Measured: Baseline (within 30 days of the clinical treatment), and Post Procedure (after the clinical trial treatment prior to discharge: post procedure ABI was collected on average 1.1 days post clinical trial treatment)
