Brief Summary:

To assess the safety and effectiveness of adventitial deposition of the Study Drug in reducing inflammation and restenosis in patients with clinical evidence of claudication or critical limb ischemia and an angiographically significant lesion in the superficial femoral and/or popliteal arteries.

Study Drug and Dose: Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Injection, USP, 4 mg/ml, with dilute contrast (17%) administered to the adventitia in a dose of 1.6 mg per cm of desired vessel treatment length.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Peripheral Arterial Diseases Drug: Dexamethasone Sodium Phosphate Injection, USP Phase 4

Detailed Description:
This trial will examine the ability for adventitial dexamethasone to safely delay restenosis in patients at least 18 years of age, who have peripheral atherosclerotic lesions involving the superficial femoral and/or popliteal arteries. These patients have no current therapeutic alternatives beyond the procedure used to open, or revascularize, their superficial femoral and/or popliteal arteries. Metal stents have the potential to fracture when implanted in this artery segment due to continual flexion and bending of the knee. It is desirable to improve the patency of this artery after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and/or atherectomy-based revascularization.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. MALE-POD [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    Acute safety safety outcomes will be determined by evaluating the type, frequency, severity, and relatedness of Major Adverse Limb Events or Peri-Operative Death (MALE+POD) within 30 days from the procedure for all subjects.

  2. Duplex ultrasound index lesion binary restenosis [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Binary restenosis will be judged by core laboratory interpretation with peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) greater than 2.4.

  3. Duplex ultrasound index lesion binary restenosis [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Binary restenosis will be judged by core laboratory interpretation with peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) greater than 2.4.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Long term safety [ Time Frame: 30 days to 6 months ]
    Long term safety outcomes that occur after 30 days through 6 months post-procedure will be determined by evaluating adverse events.

  2. Duplex ultrasound index lesion flow limiting restenosis [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ]
    Flow limiting restenosis will be judged by core laboratory as PSVR>4.0.

  3. Change in inflammatory biomarkers [ Time Frame: Baseline and 24 hours ]
    Change in inflammatory biomarkers will be measured with a panel of biomarkers in 1/3 of patients.

  4. Vascular patency [ Time Frame: 6, 12, 18 and 24 months ]
    Target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate, target extremity revascularization (TER) rate, limb salvage rate and primary patency (PSVR≤2.4 and no TLR) at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Note: provisional stenting performed during the index procedure shall not be considered to be TLR, TER or loss of primary patency.

  5. Clinical outcome measures [ Time Frame: 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months ]
    Modified Walking Impairment Questionnaire, Ankle-Brachial Index, Rutherford Score.

  6. Infusion Technical Success [ Time Frame: Intraprocedural ]
    Distribution grade around infusion sites.

  7. Procedural Success [ Time Frame: Intraprocedural ]
    Establishment of antegrade flow with residual stenosis of <30% by angiogram.

  8. Healthcare Economics [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    Number of return visits and hospitalizations, time from index procedure to required revascularization and number of index-lesion-related readmissions within 30 days will be measured.

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Screening Criteria

    • Male or non-pregnant female ≥18 years of age
    • Rutherford Clinical Category 2-4
    • Clinical diagnosis of PAD requiring revascularization, secondary to atherosclerosis affecting a lower limb
    • Patient is willing to provide informed consent and comply with the required follow up visits, testing schedule, and medication regimen
  • Procedural Criteria

    • De novo or nonstented restenotic lesions >90 days from prior angioplasty and/or atherectomy, at least 3 cm from any previously placed stent or vascular surgery site
    • >70% diameter stenosis up to 15 cm in total length (with no greater than 3 cm length of contiguous intervening normal artery) in the superficial femoral and/or popliteal artery (between the profunda and tibioperoneal trunk)
    • Reference vessel diameter ≥3mm and ≤ 8mm
    • Successful wire crossing of lesion
    • A patent artery proximal to the index lesion free from significant stenosis (significant stenosis is defined as >50% in iliac or >30% stenosis in common femoral artery) as confirmed by angiography (treatment of target lesion after successful treatment of iliac or common femoral artery lesions is acceptable)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Screening Criteria

    • Pregnant, nursing or planning on becoming pregnant in < 2 years

    • Known active malignancy

    • Prior bypass surgery, stenting of the target lesion

    • Prior participation of the index limb in the current study (contralateral treatment is allowed)
    • Inability to ambulate (e.g. from prior ipsilateral or contralateral amputation)

  • Procedural Criteria

    • Lesions extending into the trifurcation or above the profunda
    • Heavy eccentric or moderate circumferential calcification at index lesion, which in the judgment of the investigator would prevent penetration of the Micro-Infusion Catheter needle through the vessel wall
    • Lesion length is >15 cm as measured from proximal normal vessel to distal normal vessel, or there is no normal proximal arterial segment in which duplex ultrasound velocity ratios can be measured
    • Inadequate distal outflow defined as absence of at least one patent tibial artery (no lesion >50% stenosis) with flow into the foot
