New device aims to restore leg blood flow without Long-Term drugs
NCT ID NCT06321575
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a new tool called Golazo that removes plaque from leg arteries in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). About 159 adults with moderate to severe symptoms will be treated at up to 20 U.S. sites. The goal is to see if the device is safe and works well to improve blood flow without causing serious problems like re-blockage or amputation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
General inclusion criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years 2. Candidate for atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature in the lower limbs 3. Life expectancy \>1 year in the opinion of the investigator 4. Resting ankle brachial index (ABI) ≤0.90, or ≤0.75 after exercise. Subjects with non-compressible arteries shall have a toe brachial index (TBI) assessment. 5. Target limb Rutherford clinical classification category 3 to 5 6. Suitable candidate for angiography and endovascular intervention in the opinion of the investigator 7. Willing and able to comply with the protocol-specified procedures and assessments 8. Informed consent granted Angiographic inclusion criteria: 9. Target lesion(s) defined as stenosis ≥70% by angiographic visual estimation 10. Total treated lesion length ≤20 cm by angiographic visual estimation 11. Target reference vessel diameter (RVD) ≥2.0 mm and ≤4.5 mm by angiographic visual estimation 12. Target limb will have a minimum of one patent (less than 50% stenosis) below the knee (BTK) vessel crossing the ankle, distal to any target lesion, providing perfusion to the foot at baseline General exclusion criteria: 1. Active infection in the target limb 2. History of an endovascular procedure or open vascular surgery on the target limb within the last 30 days 3. Planned surgical or interventional procedure within 30 days after the index procedure 4. Lesion in the contralateral limb requiring intervention during the index procedure or within next 30 days 5. Critical limb ischemia (CLI) with Rutherford clinical classification category 6 6. Significant acute or chronic kidney disease with a GFR \<30 and/or requiring dialysis 7. Acute myocardial infarction (non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction or ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) or other uncontrolled comorbidity in the opinion of the investigator 8. Myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke within two months of baseline evaluation 9. Pregnant or lactating 10. Subject is participating in another clinical investigation of a device, drug, or procedure that has not completed the study treatment or that clinically interferes with the endpoints of this study (post-approval registries are allowed as long as the investigator determines there is no clinical interference with study endpoints) 11. Contraindication to antiplatelet, anticoagulant, or thrombolytic therapy 12. Uncorrectable bleeding diathesis, platelet dysfunction, thrombocytopenia with platelet count \<125,000/microliter, known coagulopathy, or international normalized ratio (INR) \>1.5 13. Known allergy to contrast agents or medications used to perform endovascular intervention that cannot be adequately medicated 14. History of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) 15. Any thrombolytic therapy within two weeks of enrollment 16. Target lesion(s) within a native vessel graft or synthetic graft 17. Significant stenosis or occlusion of inflow not successfully treated before the index procedure 18. Any evidence or history of intracranial or gastrointestinal bleeding or intracranial aneurysm 19. Vulnerable subject populations (e.g., incarcerated or cognitively challenged adults) 20. One or more of the following complications of the foot: 1. Osteomyelitis that extends to the metatarsal bones. 2. Gangrene involving the plantar skin of the forefoot, midfoot or heel 3. Deep ulcer or large shallow ulcer (\>3cm) involving the plantar skin of the forefoot, midfoot, or heel 4. Any heel ulcer with/without calcaneal involvement 5. Any wound with calcaneal bone involvement 6. Wounds that are deemed to be neuropathic or non-ischemic in nature 7. Wounds that require flap coverage or complete wound management for large soft tissue defect 21. Congestive heart failure with a NYHA functional classification of III or higher Angiographic exclusion criteria: 22. More than 2 lesions to be treated with the investigational device; lesions located within 3 mm may be considered a single tandem lesion 23. Clinical/angiographic complication (other than non-flow limiting dissections) attributed to a currently marketed device prior to introduction of the investigational device 24. In-stent restenosis within the target lesion(s) 25. Potentially unstable or flow-limiting dissection, type C or greater 26. Clinical/angiographic evidence of distal embolization 27. Inability to cross the proximal lesion vessel lumen with a guidewire (not subintimal)
