Prostaglandin E1 (Liprostin) Treatment With Lower Limb Angioplasty for Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease
Phase II, Single Center, Non-Controlled, Open-Label Study of Liposomal Prostaglandin E1 (Liprostin) as Adjunct Therapy With Lower Limb Angioplasty in Patients With Ischemic and Non-Ischemic Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease

This is the first clinical research trial in which intravenous Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1 is a vasoactive hormone) will be used as supportive treatment along with the angioplasty procedure to treat or open up a blocked artery within one lower limb or the most affected of two limbs in subjects with Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease.

PAOD results in a decrease in arterial blood flow to the lower limb and feet with symptoms that can include, pain at rest, a numbing sensation in limb or feet, limited ability to walk before pain occurs. PAOD can occur along with diabetic ulcers.

Proposed treatment will be given at a medical center with an overnight hospital stay. Treatment includes angioplasty to open up one or two occluded arteries in a lower limb plus a drug (Liprostin) a special formulation of liposomal Prostaglandin E1,or PGE1, a natural occuring vasoactive hormone). Drug treatment is given twice to each artery to be treated, just before and after angioplasty. When angioplasty procedure is completed, a 12 hour intravenous infusion of Liprostin is given to complete the treatment procedure.

A total of 12 PAOD subjects will be enrolled in a single center: Memorial Hermann Hospital, Houston, TX.

Study will begin in February, 2003 with the last (12th) subject to be enrolled, likely by August, 20
