About this study

Official title: Prospective, Multi-center, Single-arm Investigational Study of SWM-831 to Treat Moderate and Severely Calcified Femoropopliteal Arteries

Disrupt PAD Japan is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study of SWM-831 to treat moderate and severely calcified femoropopliteal arteries, prior to DCB or stenting.

Read the detailed description

Up to 60 subjects at up to 10 sites in Japan will be enrolled in the femoropopliteal clinical study with moderate and severely calcified femoropopliteal artery disease presenting with Rutherford Category 2 - 5 of the target limb.

Two additional cohorts [Iliac and BTK (Below-the-Knee)] will enroll a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 subjects each with moderate and severely calcified iliac disease with a Rutherford Category (RC) 2 - 5 and a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 15 subjects with moderate and severely calcified BTK lesions with a Rutherford Category (RC) 2 - 5 will be enrolled and followed through 12 months.

The estimated study duration for these cohorts is approximately 24 months. Study subjects will be followed through discharge, 30 days, 6, and 12 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Shockwave Medical, Inc. at 10 sites in Japan.

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 11 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Japan. 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?

Percentage of Subjects with Procedural Success (time frame: Day 0). The study lists 3 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 11 Dec 2025.
