Efficacity Study With the Protégé EverFlex Stent in Popliteal Lesions (DUR-POP)

September 30, 2013 updated by: Flanders Medical Research Program

DURABILITY-POP Study - Physician Initiated Trial Investigating the Efficacy of the Implant of Protégé EverFlex Nitinol Stents in Popliteal Lesions

This study will assess the results up to 12 months with the Protégé EverFlex stent (ev3) in patients presenting with a narrowing or blocking at the level of the knee artery, which leads to a limited walking distance, rest pain or non-healing ulcers.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
primary patency
Time Frame: 12 months post-procedure
primary patency at 12 months, defined as a target lesion without a hemodynamically significant stenosis on duplex ultrasound (systolic velocity ratio no greater than 2.4) and without TLR within 12 months
12 months post-procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Technical success
Time Frame: 1 day post-procedure
Technical success, defined as the ability to cross and dilate the lesion to achieve residual angiographic stenosis no greater than 30% and residual stenosis less than 50% by duplex imaging
1 day post-procedure
Primary patency rate at 6-, 12-month follow-up.
Time Frame: 6-, 12-month follow-up
Patients that present without a hemodynamically significant stenosis at the target area on duplex ultrasound (systolic velocity ratio no greater than 2.4) and without prior TLR are defined as being primary patent.
6-, 12-month follow-up
Clinical success
Time Frame: 6-, 12-month follow-up
Clinical success at follow-up is defined as an improvement of Rutherford classification at 6-, 12-month follow-up of one class or more as compared to the pre-procedure Rutherford classification.
6-, 12-month follow-up
tent fracture rate at 12-month follow-up
Time Frame: 12-month follow-up
Determined according the following classification on x-ray: Class 0 (no strut factures); Class I (single tine fracture); Class II (multiple tine factures); Class III (Stent fracture(s) with preserved alignment of the components); Class IV (Stent fracture(s) with mal-alignment of the components); Class V (Stent fracture(s) in a trans-axial spiral configuration)
12-month follow-up
Serious adverse events
Time Frame: 1 year
Defined as any clinical event that is fatal, life-threatening, or judged to be severe by the investigator; resulted in persistent or significant disability; necessitated surgical or percutaneous intervention; or required prolonged hospitalization.
