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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age ≥18 years old
  • Rutherford Classification: 3-5 in target limb; Rutherford Classification 3 subjects may be enrolled but will be capped to a limit of 20% of the total enrollment (no more than two Rutherford Class 3 subjects may be enrolled into the study).
  • Able and willing to provide informed consent, and comply with follow-up visits at both 30 days and 180 days (6 months)
  • Able to comply with antiplatelet therapy as required
  • Reference Vessel Diameter is ≥2.0 mm and ≤4.0 mm
  • Target lesion length is ≤150 mm
Show all 9Show fewer
  • De novo or restenotic target lesion(s) (except for in-stent restenotic lesion) with stenosis ≥70%, by visual estimation, in a single limb in a single native vessel
  • Inflow artery is patent, free from significant lesion stenosis (≥50% stenosis is considered significant) as visually confirmed by angiography. Note: Successful inflow artery treatment is allowed during the index procedure. Successful inflow artery treatment is defined as attainment of residual diameter stenosis ≤50% without major vascular complications (absence of flow limiting dissection, embolic event)
  • Guidewire has successfully crossed the target lesion(s) within the true lumen

Who cannot join

  • Females who are pregnant or lactating
  • Pre-existing illness with life expectancy <1 year
  • Known or suspected systemic infection
  • Significant gastrointestinal bleeding or any coagulopathy that would preclude the use of anti-platelet therapy
  • Subjects with a diagnosis of osteomyelitis and are currently on IV antibiotic therapy
  • Endovascular or surgical procedure performed on the target lesion within 3 months of the index procedure
Show all 22Show fewer
  • Subjects who in the opinion of the Investigator have underlying kidney disease and may be at risk for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (AKI)
  • Subjects who in the opinion of the Investigator have uncontrolled diabetes
  • Allergic to iodine/radiopaque contrast that in the opinion of the Investigator cannot be adequately pre-treated
  • History of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG), unstable angina pectoris, or myocardial infarction within 30 days and/or hemorrhagic stroke within 90 days
  • Subjects scheduled to undergo a planned major amputation of the lower limb above the ankle on the target limb
  • Allergic to any of the components of the atherectomy device system
  • Intraprocedural complications prior to use of the investigational device
  • Subjects with a positive COVID-19 test within the last 60 days and/or is symptomatic, at the Investigator's discretion
  • Subject with other medical, social or psychological problems that, in the opinion of the investigator, preclude them from receiving this treatment, and the procedures and evaluations pre - and post-treatment
  • Presence of flow-limiting stenosis (>50% diameter reduction) or occlusion of inflow vessels that was not successfully treated (<50% residual stenosis without flow limiting dissection) before the study intervention/prior to the point of enrollment
  • No obvious angiographic evidence of flow to the foot following inflow treatment
  • Co-existing aneurysmal disease requiring treatment
  • Presence of vessel dissection at the target lesion requiring stent placement
  • Clinical/angiographic evidence of distal embolization or acute thrombus
  • Severe calcification that is measured >10mm in length and circumferential
  • Prior stent placement in the target lesion

What participants receive

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

  • Kaitoh Atherectomy SystemDevice

    The Kaitoh Atherectomy System is a handheld device which initiates mechanical rotation of the blade to debulk atherosclerotic lesions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Kaitoh Atherectomy System in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Terumo Medical Corporation at 2 sites in New Zealand.

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 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in New Zealand. 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?

Freedom from major adverse events (MAEs) (time frame: 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 10 Sep 2025.
