About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Ascending-dose, Clinical Trial of Intra-arterial Microplasmin Administration in Patients With Acute Peripheral Arterial Occlusion

The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of microplasmin administration in patients with acute peripheral arterial occlusion.

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial is designed as an open-label, dose-escalating, single-centre trial of weight-adjusted dose regimens of microplasmin administered intra-arterially as an infusion to patients with acute peripheral arterial occlusion. Patients who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be administered study drug for up to 4 hours. Different dose regimens will be evaluated in an ascending-dose fashion; an infusion will be administered for up to 4 hours.

What participants receive

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

  • MicroplasminDrug

    An infusion of 0.45, 0.60 and 0.90 mg/kg/hr will be administered for up to 4 hours. Study drug will be administered intra-arterially (into the thrombotic occlusion).

  • MicroplasminDrug

    An infusion of 0.45 mg/kg/hr in conjunction with distal protection device will be administered for up to 4 hours. Study drug will be administered intra-arterially (into the thrombotic occlusion).

  • MicroplasminDrug

    An infusion of 20 or 40 mg (20 mg for the 15 cm treatment length device; 40 mg for the 30 cm treatment length device) over 10 minutes via the Trellis-8 Peripheral Infusion System catheter, in accordance with the Trellis-8 Instructions for Use. For occlusive lesions that are longer than the treatment length of the Trellis-8 device, a repeat infusion of the same dose and duration may be administered.

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete clot-lysis (defined as >95% estimated clot volume reduction compared to baseline angiogram)

    Measured: at 4 hours or less (if study drug administration is terminated prior to 4 hours).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Proportion of subjects with clot-lysis (complete or partial, defined as any clot volume reduction on angiography)

    Measured: At 4 hours or less (if study drug administration is terminated prior to 4 hours).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Microplasmin in people with Arterial Occlusive Diseases, run by ThromboGenics at 1 site in Belgium.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Apr 2014. 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 Belgium. 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.

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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor's decision not to pursue development of uPLi for vascular conditions). 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?

Complete clot-lysis (defined as >95% estimated clot volume reduction compared to baseline angiogram) (time frame: at 4 hours or less (if study drug administration is terminated prior to 4 hours).). 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 7 Apr 2014.
