NCT ID NCT07270575

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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This Europe-wide study will follow 400 people with severe leg artery disease (chronic limb-threatening ischemia) to see if a new dissolvable, drug-coated scaffold can keep leg arteries open better than standard treatments. The scaffold releases medication to prevent re-blockage and then dissolves over time, avoiding the long-term risks of permanent metal stents. Participants must have heavily calcified arteries in the lower leg and be willing to undergo the procedure.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Rutherford classification category ≥4; 2. Treatment of infrapopliteal lesions with the Esprit BTK everolimus eluting resorbable scaffold system following adequate vessel preparation; 3. Calcification of target lesions must be visible on fluoroscopy or CT-angiography; 4. Patients competent and willing to provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Minors and other vulnerable populations who may not be able to give informed consent freely or for whom participation is not essential to the study (incapacitated and unconscious individuals, persons deprived of liberty, pregnant and breastfeeding women, etc.); 2. Inadequate inflow (\>30% stenosis) following optimization; 3. Insufficient direct outflow (less than 1 run-off vessel); 4. Endovascular procedure(s) on the treatment site within 4 weeks before index procedure; 5. Patients planned to receive an above ankle amputation of the target limb; 6. Patients enrolled in ORACLE (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT07270562).
