About this study

Official title: Understanding the Mechanism of Peripheral Arterial Balloon Angioplasty by the Chocolate PTA Balloon Catheter Compared to Conventional PTA Balloons Via OCT Imaging

The purpose of this study is to compare the Chocolate PTA Balloon to standard Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) catheters. The investigators will use Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Quantitative Vascular Angiography to evaluate the acute vascular response of vessels treated with the Chocolate Balloon to a standard balloon catheter, with the primary endpoint being luminal gain assessed by OCT lumen volume measurements.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be randomized to treatment with either the Chocolate Balloon catheter or a standard balloon angioplasty catheter. All angioplasty procedures will be conducted with treatment balloon at the full discretion of the physician and according to the standard practice at the hospital and the device Instructions for Use. All patients will undergo baseline OCT imaging in addition to standard angiography. Post-PTA, all patients will then undergo repeat OCT imaging immediately post-procedure and then again at 10-minutes post-procedure to assess for vascular recoil.

What participants receive

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

  • Chocolate PTA Balloon AngioplastyDevice

    OCT imaging of diseased vessel is treated with an Angioplasty Procedure using the Chocolate PTA Balloon Catheter followed by OCT imaging of the treated area immediately after balloon use and 10 minutes later

  • Standard PTA Balloon AngioplastyDevice

    OCT imaging of diseased vessel is treated with an Angioplasty Procedure using a standard PTA Balloon Catheter followed by OCT imaging of the treated area immediately after balloon use and 10 minutes later

What is being measured

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

  1. Luminal Gain

    Luminal Gain as defined by OCT lumen volume measurements. Luminal gain is assessed as the percentage change comparing pre-treatment and post-treatment volume measurements in cubic centimeters (CC) or millimeters (m3).

    Measured: Average of 90 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Dissection

    Dissection severity (extension) as defined by both angiographic and OCT metrics.

    Dissections occur when the blood goes into the vessel wall instead of staying in the vessel lumen. Dissection severity is determined by a visual review of the angiogram and OCT images by an independent core lab. Dissections are classified as flow-limiting (more severe) vs. non-flow limiting (less severe) based upon the amount of the blood that is flowing into the vessel wall.

    Measured: Average of 90 minutes

  2. Hematoma

    Presence of intramural hematoma on OCT.

    A hematoma can be visually observed on a angiogram and an OCT image. The images will be independently reviewed by a core lab expert who will document if a hematoma is present or not.

    Measured: Average of 90 minutes

  3. Optimal PTA

    Achievement of Optimal PTA (<30% Diameter stenosis without flow limiting dissection)

    <30% Diameter stenosis and flow limiting dissections are visual assessments that will be conducted by an independent core lab review. The % diameter stenosis measures the amount of plaque that is in the vessel and a flow-limiting dissection is observed as either present or not present.

    Measured: Average of 90 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Chocolate PTA Balloon Angioplasty and Standard PTA Balloon Angioplasty in people with Infrainguinal Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by TriReme Medical, LLC at 2 sites in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2015. 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 United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Luminal Gain (time frame: Average of 90 minutes). 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 19 Mar 2015.
