Local Paclitaxel Delivery for SFA Disease (IRRITAX)
This study is not yet open for participant recruitment.
Verified by University of Oklahoma, January 2009
Sponsors and Collaborators: University of Oklahoma
Atrium Medical Corporation
Information provided by: University of Oklahoma
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00821028
  Purpose

Treatment of superficial femoral artery atherosclerosis with percutaneous techniques is hindered by high restenosis rates. Paclitaxel inhibits restenosis in coronary arteries, and a few studies suggest it may be effective in reducing restenosis rates in peripheral arteries. The investigators hypothesize that delivering paclitaxel through an irrigating catheter will be superior in preventing restenosis.

Official Title: Treatment of Superficial Femoral Artery Atherosclerotic Disease With Local Delivery of Paclitaxel Using an Irrigating Catheter: a Randomized, Single-Center Pilot Study

Further study details as provided by University of Oklahoma:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Superficial femoral artery late lumen loss [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • procedural success, amputation, target segment revascularization (TSR), target vessel revascularization (TVR), surgical revascularization, clinical restenosis defined by increase in Rutherford claudication grade of 1 or more [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 50
Study Start Date: January 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: June 2010
Estimated Primary Completion Date: June 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Experimental Drug: Paclitaxel
Paclitaxel will be administered intra-arterially through an irrigating catheter to treat a diseased segment of superficial femoral artery. Dosing will be based on ther lesion surface area, and will be calculated using the following formula: dose= 22/7 X diameter (mm) X length (mm) X 3 micrograms/mm^3
