Study Overview

Detailed Description

TRANSCEND is a prospective, multi-center, single-blind, randomized, controlled, noninferiority clinical trial. The trial will randomize approximately 446 subjects with symptomatic PAD due to stenoses of the femoral and/or popliteal arteries.

Possible scores range from 0 to 6 (with lower scores representing a better outcome) with scores defined as follows:

0 - Asymptomatic - no hemodynamically significant occlusive disease

  1. - Mild claudication
  2. - Moderate claudication
  3. - Severe claudication
  4. - Ischemic rest pain
  5. - Minor tissue loss, non-healing ulcer, or focal gangrene with diffuse pedal ischemia
  6. - Major tissue loss, extending above transmetatarsal) with all scores defined as follows:

PARC definitions of clinical symptom classification were used to classify subject claudication at baseline and subsequent follow-up visits. PARC clinical symptom classification is used to capture information regarding lower extremity symptoms and broadly define functional limitations of patients with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Possible classifications (asymptomatic=best outcome to ischemic gangrene=worst outcome) include the following:

Asymptomatic Mild claudication/limb symptoms (no limitation in walking) Moderate claudication/limb symptoms (able to walk without stopping > 2 blocks or 200 meters or 4 minutes) Severe claudication/limb symptoms (only able to walk without stopping < 2 blocks or 200 meters or 4 minutes) Ischemic rest pain (pain in the distal limb at rest, felt to be due to limited arterial perfusion) Ischemic ulcers on distal leg Ischemic gangrene
