About this study

Official title: Pulse Intravascular Lithotripsy™ (Pulse IVL™) to Open Vessels With Calcific Walls and Enhance Vascular Compliance and Remodeling for Peripheral Artery Disease

POWER PAD 2 is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, non-randomized clinical study designed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Amplitude Vascular Systems (AVS) Pulse Intravascular Lithotripsy™ (Pulse IVL™) System for treatment of calcified (moderate to severe), stenotic, superficial femoral and popliteal arteries in patients with peripheral arterial disease.

Read the detailed description

POWER PAD 2 is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, non-randomized clinical study designed to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Amplitude Vascular System (AVS) Pulse Intravascular Lithotripsy™ (Pulse IVL™) System for treatment of calcified (moderate to severe), stenotic, superficial femoral and popliteal arteries in patients with peripheral arterial disease. This study will enroll subjects >18 years old that are presenting for a peripheral arterial disease intervention for the treatment of peripheral artery disease. Specifically, the subject has moderate to heavily calcified superficial femoral and popliteal arteries, presenting with Rutherford Category 2 to 4 of the target limb, with a reference vessel diameter (RVD) of 4mm to 6.5mm and a total lesion length of ≤ 150mm. Up to 120 subjects will be treated in the study at up to 20 U.S. investigational sites. Subjects will be evaluated at discharge, 30 days and 6 months after procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pulse Intravascular Lithotripsy (Pulse IVL) in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), run by Amplitude Vascular Systems, Inc. at 19 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?

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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Composite of New Onset Major Adverse Events (MAE) (time frame: Within 30-days of 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 18 Feb 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
