What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looked at how well the AURYON atherectomy device works for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD), where leg arteries become blocked. The device uses a laser to vaporize plaque and restore blood flow. Researchers followed 102 patients to see if the procedure was safe and effective right after treatment and over time. The goal was to see if the device could clear blockages with few complications.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AURYON Atherectomy System (a laser catheter device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could offer a safe and effective way to clear blockages in leg arteries, improving blood flow and reducing symptoms like pain or wounds.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm registry (102 people) with no comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include vessel damage, blood clots, or need for further procedures.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject is ≥ 18 years old. 2. Subject is a candidate for atherectomy for infra-inguinal peripheral artery disease. 3. Documented symptomatic atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease with claudication or critical limb ischemia (CLI) (Rutherford Classification 2-5 ). 4. Subject is capable and willing to comply with the scheduled follow up 5. Subject is able and willing to sign a written Informed Consent Form (ICF). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Target lesion is in an arterial bypass. 2. Planned use of another atherectomy device in the same procedure 3. Co-morbid condition(s) with less than 1yr anticipated survival that could limit the subject's ability to participate in the trial or to comply with follow-up requirements or impact the scientific integrity of the study. 4. Participating in another study on an interventional non-cleared device, that could impact the study results
