Femoropopliteal Lesions clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

NCT ID: NCT02004951 Terminated - Clinical trials for Peripheral Arterial Disease

BATTLE Trial: Bare Metal Stent Versus Paclitaxel Eluting Stent in the Setting of Primary Stenting of Intermediate Length Femoropopliteal Lesions

BATTLE

Start date: March 25, 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Over the past years, endovascular interventions have become an important part of treatment in patients with peripheral arterial disease.1 Indication for endovascular repair of femoropopliteal lesions has been considerably enlarged as shown in the TASC classification.1 Enlargement of endovascular therapy indication was based on patient choice for a less invasive technique and evidence based medicine. Consequently, TASC classification of lesions has been modified to reflect increased evidence for endovascular treatment of more extensive femoropopliteal lesions, and indication for endovascular repair has been enlarged to more severe TASC types. In summary, endovascular treatment is indicated for TASC A and B lesions which correspond to femoropopliteal lesions ≤15-cm. To treat these lesions, the interventionalists have at their disposal a huge tool box. Evaluation of these tools is crucial to determine the right treatment strategy to avoid further reinterventions and overcosts. The objective of the BATTLE trial is to compare a bare metal self expandable nitinol stent (Misago RX) versus a paclitaxel eluting stent (Zilver PTX) in the treatment of above-the-knee intermediate length femoropopliteal lesions. From hospitals in Europe (France, Switzerland) we will randomly assign patients with symptomatic atherosclerotic femoropopliteal lesions to be treated either by bare metal stent or paclitaxel eluting stent. In total, 186 patients will be randomized (93 per group).
