Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate whether clopidogrel 75 mg daily on a background of aspirin 75- 100 mg/d for 12 months or for 1 months will lead to an increased rate of primary patency, limb salvage, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and survival, in patients receiving endovascular treatment of PAD at 1 year


Description:

To evaluate whether clopidogrel 75 mg QD on a background of ASA 75-100 mg/d for 12 months or for 1 month will lead to an increased rate of primary patency, limb salvage, freedom form ischemic stroke and survival, in patients receiving endovascular treatment of PAD.

Trial hypothesis We hypothesize that DAPT with ASA and clopidogrel administered for 12 months following iliac, FP or BTK endovascular intervention will improve primary patency, limb salvage, freedom form ischemic stroke and survival, in patients with symptomatic PAD.

Trial endpoints Clinical endpoints will be analyzed in all subjects who are enrolled, regardless of whether the trial treatment administered successfully completed for the desired duration. A subject will be considered enrolled in the trial when he/she is randomized to one of the treatment arms of the study. All endpoints are subject-based unless otherwise specified.

The primary endpoint is a subject-based 12-month endpoint of the first occurrence of index limb arterial occlusion, surgical intervention, endovascular intervention, amputation of the affected limb (primary patency and limb salvage), MI, ischemic stroke or death (survival) The secondary endpoints are subject-based 12-month endpoints that include: (a) the first occurrence of any individual component of the primary endpoint, (b) the first occurrence of the following during follow-up: cardiovascular death, or MI, or ischemic stroke, or any amputation above the ankle and (c) severe bleeding defined according to the Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue plasminogen activator for Occluded coronary arteries (GUSTO)classification The tertiary endpoint is based on 12-month moderate bleeding according to the GUSTO classification

- Planned surgeries, endovascular or other non-vascular or cardiac procedures

- Warfarin or other chronic oral anticoagulant use

- Contraindication(s) to the use of antithrombin or antiplatelet agents (history of intra-cerebral bleed, presence of intracerebral mass, recent or <6 weeks gastrointestinal bleed, blood transfusion within the last 6 weeks, any trauma requiring surgery or blood transfusion within the last 4 weeks or any surgical procedure within the last 4 weeks.

Angiographic:

Angiographic:

- Endovascular intervention to iliac, FB or BTK artery bypass graft

- Persistent, intraluminal thrombus of the proposed target lesion at the completion of the index procedure

- Perforated vessel as evidenced by extravasation of contrast media

- Vascular graft, aneurysm or postsurgical stenosis of the target vessel
