About this study

Official title: ReoPro and Peripheral Arterial Intervention to Improve Clinical Outcome in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease - A Randomized Prospective Trial (RIO-Trial)

The Rio Study is a randomized, double blinded German- Swiss- Austria multi-centre trial on the efficacy and safety of ReoPro together with interventional recanalization of TASC D lesions in the SFA and popliteal artery.

Read the detailed description

Purpose: The RIO trial is designed to test the efficacy of GP IIb/IIIa blockade on subacute reocclusions in patients with interventional recanalization of chronic occlusions in the superficial femoral and popliteal artery.

Methods: A total of 420 patients will be randomly assigned to ReoPro or placebo. Patients will be eligible for randomisation with occlusions longer than 5 cm. Doppler ultrasound follow-up will be at 30 days, and after 6, and 12 months.

Being tested
Balloon Angioplasty, ReoPro
Keywords
peripheral vascular disease, intervention, restenosis, Age above 18 years
Medical subject headings
Arterial Occlusive Diseases, Peripheral Vascular Diseases

What participants receive

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

  • Balloon AngioplastyProcedure or surgery

  • ReoProDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevention of subacute occlusions within 30 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Prevention of restenosis up to 3 years

  2. Prevention of target lesion revascularization

  3. Improvement of the clinical status

  4. Change of ABI

  5. Hospital days

  6. all secondary outcomes at 30 days, 6 months, one year, and 3 years (telephone contact after 3 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Balloon Angioplasty and ReoPro in people with Arterial Occlusive Diseases, run by University Hospital Tuebingen 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 2 inclusion and 23 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 12 Sep 2006. 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.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

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?

Prevention of subacute occlusions within 30 days. 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 12 Sep 2006.
